Yoga - Relieve back pain - Gauranga Meditation

Yoga Can Help Relieve Back Pain

Regular yoga practice will help to relieve the stress and tension that sometimes cause mild back pain, and in fact, studies have shown that yoga is the number one most effective exercise for relieving back pain. However, not all yoga poses relieve back pain, and some can in fact aggravate existing pain, so it is important to know which poses are helpful.

It is always best to do these yoga exercises under the supervision of a certified yoga instructor, and if you encounter any problems with these poses, always consult an expert.

Just a couple of sessions with a yoga instructor can help, an instructor will help you with your form and posture during poses. Here is one of the best yoga poses for relieving back pain. This pose should be done on a mat or other soft, supportive surface.


Corpse Pose: Lie flat on your back in a relaxed position, arms resting at your sides, palms down, and legs lying naturally, with knees turned out slightly. If it hurts your back to have your knees turned outward, do this pose with knees bent, feet flat on the floor. Breathe in and out slowly and deeply for a few minutes while allowing any tension to leave the body. To further relax the body and the mind you could also add a Meditation to your outward breath. For instance the mantra Gauranga which is a non-material spiritually uplifting sound which brings peace to the heart and soothes the emotions. It's very simple process.

1. While in Corpse pose INHALE through the nostrils while focusing on the Gauranga meditation. As you EXHALE say outloud Gauranga for the full extention of the outward breath. Repeat for at least 5 minutes and experience it for yourself.

This practise has many physical and well as emotional and spiritual benefits making it a truly holistic practise and experience.

Practise Holistic Yoga Meditation - Peace and Stress relief

I started meditation about 30 years ago and have found the benefits to be life changing. I thought i was having lots of fun in my life before meditation but life has gotten so much better.

The Meditation has given me so much more than i could have ever imagined. It has given me direction, clarity and an inner peace. It helps me deal with any problems that come up through out the day with lightness and ease, instead of becoming bogged down with anxiety and stress. Stress is still there, we can't get away from that because the fact is this world is stressful, but my daily practise of meditation helps me try to cope with any and all situations with some degree of grace . I am very thankful for having had the
opportunity to learn this meditation. I especially enjoy being able to share and pass it on to my friends.

Relaxation - Holistic Yoga Stretch and Meditation

Holistic Yoga Stretch…

Benefits body, mind, heart and soul.

The benefits of Yoga are well documented and have been appreciated by Eastern Cultures since ancient times. More recently the West has begun to embrace the holistic benefits of Yoga.We can always gauge what the current trends are by the media and yes sadly by the advertising. Have you noticed how many laptop owners get down to the beach and sit in the lotus yoga pose while gazing out over the tranquil ocean. Ah - Yes, progress:-)

Seriously though, the practice of Yoga has devotees world wide and is glorified as being the absolute best exercise for the up-keep and maintenance of the physical
body.

Yoga works all areas of the body, internally and externally, helping to keep the body (our life vehicle) in as tip top condition as possible.

Classes begin with a few minutes of sacred sound meditation, followed by Yoga Nidra and then the Yoga stretches begin. Yoga Nidra is repeated again at the end of the yoga stretches. We then finish off with a few minutes of "Spiritual Food for Thought" and group singing meditation which perfectly rounds out our Yoga practice.

A blissfully rejuvenating experience for body, mind, heart and soul.

Will post an easy relaxation class at a later date, so that you can experience it for yourself.

Warm regards

Yoga Meditation, Yoga Mantras, Yoga Philosophy, Kindness & Charity

There are many kind people in this world who are engaged in acts of charity, building hospitals, helping the elderly, supporting abused children, homeless teens, running soup kitchens and so on.

The heart of man can be very generous, caring and charitable. We feel 'good' when serving others in this way, we are engaging in philanthropic activities, selfless works and this is indeed amazing for all those involved.

The kind men of this world try to help alleviate material suffering as much as possible, but we must remember that although we are temporarily residing in a body, we are not just a body, but rather 'WE' are spirit in essence. Therefore it is vitally important that we nurture and nourish the spirit also. A simple and enjoyable spiritual solution is provided to us via the kindness of spiritual doctors or masters. By taking the prescribed medicine we are able to revive our dormant but natural spiritual awareness.

If a naturally kind person wanted to add a spiritual component in with their charitable mix they could do so very easily. How is this possible you might ask. This simple but vital spiritual addition to ones life is made possible due to the many blessings given freely by the perfect masters who are expert spiritual physicians. They offer us the perfect solution to the woes and untold suffering experienced in this world, not only by mankind but ALL living beings.

Their spiritual medicine bag contains transcendental or spiritual sound vibrations also known as yoga mantras. Spiritual sound comes from the spiritual realm. To our ears these yoga mantras might seem like ordinary sounds, the difference being that these sounds carry with it a potency that is not present in material sound. This potency is the ability to touch and purify the heart of every living being who is fortunate enough to come into contact with it. Within every living body is a spirit soul. When a spirit soul comes into contact with spiritual sound that person is benefitted regardless of the body they are in.

" To expose ourselves and others to spiritual sound vibrations truly is the ultimate in humanitarian effort. Without discrimination or exception everyone benefits".

Spiritual doctors are mankinds and all living beings best friend, by following their loving guidance we can become free. Free from the shackles of the mind and senses. Free from the wheel of samsara. They hand us the keys to another world, the world from which we came. They re-introduce us to our Supreme best friend who is with us eternally, seated within our hearts.

They help us to remember what real love is, what real happiness is and what REAL life and living is all about.

Due to the kindness and blessings of our spiritual doctors we are able to finally find our way back home.
