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.

Yoga Pose Tadasana or Mountain Pose

I havn't posted for a few days, have been trying to sort out the spammy sites that have been using my url to try to get traffic to their nasty sites. I did think about changing my blog and starting up another one, but figure I will just wait it out and hopefully those sites will eventually disappear. To protect yourselves do not do a google search for our site, instead type the full address into the browser bar.

http://holisticyogateachertraining.blogspot.com

This is the only way you will be able to get to this blog safely.

K... lets get started. I was going to begin with the triangle pose as I did get a request for information on that particular asana. Instead I have decided to begin with Tadasana or Mountain Pose. This asana forms the stable base for all standing poses.

Tadasana / Tada = Mountain / Tadasana = Mountain Pose

Step by step instructions

1. Stand with both feet together, or with your feet hip distance apart
2. Lift and gently stretch the toes, spread them wide and lower softly to the ground
3. Now we all know what a tripod is right! It's a 3 legged piece of equipment used for stablizing and supporting a camera. We are going to use this same principle to help us achieve a strong supportive base in mountain pose
4. Lets begin by pressing the big toes, the little toes and the heels firmly into the ground. This forms the tripod, the strong base for mountain pose
5. Alright so now we are going to gently rock back and forth—heels to toes, heels to toes
6. Come back to starting position, visualise your tripod and adjust your feet so that your weight is evenly distributed thru both feet
7. Lift the inside arches and press the outsides of the feet into the floor
8. Come back to starting position, visualise your tripod and have your weight evenly distributed thru both feet
9. Become familiar with how that feels
10. Lift the 3 arches, the inside arches, the outside arches and the arches across the broad part of your feet
11. To make sure we are not dropping thru the inside arches, activate the adductor muscles, this automatically lifts the inside arches
12. Moving up the legs to the knees, gently lift the knees by activating the thigh muscles or quads
13. Now focusing on lifting the front of the hips, gently lower the tail bone
14. An easy way to achieve the best position is to first of all place one hand on our belly just below the belly button and the other on the lower back. Visualise having tail feathers and sticking out those tail feathers – next we want to visualise a dog with it's tail between it's legs and imitate by tucking the pelvis under. The best position is somewhere in between those two extremes. Experiment and feel what's most comfortable for you
15. Next, lengthening the spine and lifting up thru the sternum. Broadening thru the lungs and rib cage. Be aware that we don't want the ribs to stick out, so draw them back towards the spine. Soften and lower the shoulders
16. Rotate thru the shoulders, moving the arms away from the body palms facing forward. Extend and lengthen the fingers. Relax the arms bring them back to your sides with the thumbs facing forward. Keep the shoulders soft. Think about the shoulder blades releasing downwards towards your waist
17. Gently lengthen the back of the neck, and lower the chin down to a neutral postition, with the chin relaxed
18. Draw up through the crown of the head, imagine a string running up thru your spine and out the top of your head, softly lengthening and opening up the body growing tall

Benefits:

Improves posture, reduces flat feet, relaxing, helps fallen arches, improves circulation, improves lung capacity

Variations:

1. Can be done with eyes closed for a more focused inward experience and to improve balance
2. Can raise the arms chest height interlock fingers and raise arms over head pressing palms towards the ceiling.
3. Bring arms behind, bend at the elbow, opposite hand on opposite elbow. Switch and hold for same amount of breaths

Variations and Modifications

1. Check your alignment against a wall. Stand with heels, sacrum and shoulder blades, but not the back of your head against the wall

Practise Mountain pose a couple times a day, this will help you to feel both grounded and relaxed.

See you next time

Nadi Shodan

Nadi Shodan Pranayama

Pranayama breathing techniques offer many benefits. Nadi Shodan also known as Alternate nostril breathing is a nice pranayama to learn. It is a very effective breathing technique which can be used to clear the energy centres within the body. This pranayama also helps move the flow of energy/chi through the subtle energy channels of the body, known as meridians.

Nadi Shodan breathing helps balance the right and left hemispheres of the brain and at the same time exercises the left and right lungs, helping to clear obstructions in both sides of the airways. You might become aware of this when transitioning from pranayama breathing to normal breathing.

Nadi Shodan breathing practice helps to get us going, wakes us up, gives us more mental energy so that we are more focused and alert. At the same time the body is able to remain calm and relaxed. Maintaining a condition of relaxation is always an advantage, our lives are so stressful we often feel run down and exhausted, so relaxation is good and recommended by physicians as a viable way of getting rid of stress.  

Nadi Shodan is a quick and simple practice. It revitalises, helps us to concentrate and think more clearly. We feel centred and better equipped to deal with any problems we may encounter during the day.This is such an easy practice, even the most time poor person should endeavour to find 5 minutes during the day to experience the benefits.  

If you would like to learn how to practice Nadi Shodan pranayama you are welcome to contact us at YMSA Yoga Meditation Studio Palm Beach. Leave us a comment below, along with your details. We will get back to you as soon as we can.

Yoga Meditation - Holistic yoga | No dig garden / potatoes part 3

Water generously but do not flood the area. In a couple of weeks, the tops will emerge through the straw. As they grow, keep topping them up with the enriched straw blend, making sure the young potatoes don't get exposed to sunlight. This can turn them green and make them slightly toxic.

When the potatoes flower, they are getting close to maturity. This will take about 14 - 16 weeks. When the plants have died off and gone dry and brown, it is time to pull back the mulched straw to reveal an abundant crop of large healthy potatoes. You will find a clean crop of potatoes with no dirt on them, and very little rinsing will be required before preparation in the kitchen.

Good luck, have fun and may your harvest be bountiful.

Holistic yoga Meditation - holistic yoga | No dig garden / potatoes part 2

You can either take up the top layer of grass (which is what we did in our small no dig garden). Or just cover the earth with a thick layer of old newspapers, cardboard or both to prevent weed growth from occurring.

Note: Using newspapers may mean your crop is not truly organic. (Because of the ink). Again, the choice is yours, or just use a thicker layer of straw instead.

Spread a layer of composted material over the top of the newspaper or straw. Old dry lawn clippings or more straw can be used. Sprinkle a layer of worm castings in if you have some on hand. Place your potatoes or pieces of potatoes with eyes, directly onto the thick straw padding. Use crop straw or another straw which is cheap and readily available. Pull it apart and shake over the potatoes to protect them from light. One to two feet of straw is an ideal depth.

How To No Dig Potatoes

It's very easy to grow potatoes the no dig, organic way. They are a great source of vitamins, minerals and iron.

Just like most fruits and veggies a lot of the goodness lies just beneath the surface of the skin, so try to keep some of the potato skin intact when preparing to cook.

Let's get growing!

When I was a kid my parents always had a huge organic garden with every veggie growing in it that you can imagine. We were always getting busted for eating the peas off the vine. My parents had a brick shed which housed many different varieties of seed potatoes as well as a slew of other root veggies from the previous seasons crop.

Nowadays of course you might find that situation out woop woop somewhere but us city folks will have to purchase some seed potatoes from a nursery. You can use potatoes from the supermarket, but seed potatoes will bring better yields. You can 'chit' them first (allowing them to start to grow) simply by placing them in a sunny spot, before planting.

• Yukon Gold - This is a smaller variety of potato with golden flesh, and a rich, buttery flavor.

• Red Pontiac - This is a red-skinned variety that grows well in containers.

• Fingerling - There are several varieties of small, finger-shaped potatoes that grow well in containers.

Holistic Yoga - Growing Potatoes in Containers Part 4

It is important to keep potatoes well watered on a very regular basis. If you allow the potatoes to get too dry, then add a lot of water, then let them dry again, you will end up with disfigured potatoes that look lumpy and will have a very poor texture when cooked. Remember to keep them watered consistently.

The first potatoes will be ready to harvest in around two months. If the plants start to flower, it's time to start harvesting. Some varieties won't make flowers at all, so don't count on this to happen, but if you do see flowers, you know it's definitely time.

To harvest potatoes, simply dig around in the soil with your hands, feeling the size of each potato you encounter. If it is the size you want, pull it up. Otherwise, leave it alone and it will continue to grow. Each plant should produce about 2 to 4 pounds of potatoes, depending on the variety.

Holistic Yoga - Growing Potatoes in Containers Part 3

I recommend using 20 gallon plastic garbage cans or large plastic storage tubs to grow potatoes in. You can also use very large pots or buckets, but garbage cans and storage tubs can be covered to store the soil in for the next year. Simply take your plastic garbage can or tub and drill several holes in the bottom for drainage. Then fill the container about one third full with your potting soil mix.

Put your potato sprouts on top of the soil, spaced approximately 6 inches apart, and at least 4 inches away from the sides of the container. Then cover the sprouts with about two inches of potting soil. When the plants reach about 6 inches in height, add another two or three inches of potting mix, covering the lower leaves of the plants. Every time the plants reach a height of six inches above the soil, add another two to three inches of soil. When the soil reaches about 1 to 2 inches from the top of the container, you can stop adding soil, but mound the soil up around the base of each plant.

Holistic Yoga - Growing Potatoes in Containers Part 2

Seed potatoes are not actually seeds. Potatoes do not have seeds. They are actually specially grown miniature tubers that have been grown in controlled conditions to minimize the chance of disease. You should try to buy certified disease-free seed potatoes when possible.

Seed potatoes should be presprouted. Simply place the seed potatoes in a shallow tray and put the tray into a warm, sunny spot. Then spray them with some water or liquid seaweed. It should be about two weeks before sprouts form. When they are about an inch tall, you can plant them.

In order to get the best yield from your potato plants, you need to make sure that the stems grow to a good length. Hilling is traditionally used to aid in elongating the stems. In hilling, you plant your potato sprouts in a trench, gradually filling the trench with more soil as the stems grow. You can easily do this in your containers.

Growing Potatoes In Containers

Growing potatoes in containers may not make a lot of sense unless you want to grow varieties that are hard to find or are particularly expensive. Growing your standard russet potatoes or giant baking potatoes is probably going to be a waste of space, although it might be fun. But if you are like me, you want to make the most efficient use of the space you have available.

Potatoes reproduce through the eyes on potatoes. You've no doubt seen these sprouts on potatoes that have been sitting for too long in your cupboards. The eyes shoot out sprouts, and when you plant these sprouts, you can grow potatoes.

It is NOT recommended that you do this, however. Potatoes that are found in supermarkets are typically treated with chemicals to inhibit sprouting. They do not typically grow very well when planted, and might poison the soil if you try to grow something else in it later. You should grow your potatoes from what is known as seed potatoes.

Arthritis is a joint disease that can cause problems in any area of the body where two or more bones intersect. The arthritis itself can affect the joint in a number of different ways, targeting different areas such as the synovium, the muscles tendons or the cartilage. Cartilage is the soft protective material that protects the ends of the joints from rubbing against each other and the entire joint is encased in a type of capsule that is lined with the tissue synovium.

Yoga... Where Do I Start?

The best place to start is with a yoga class, where a teacher can show you how to adapt poses using props and help you learn proper technique for the postures.

The good news is that yoga classes have never been more widely available. You'll find them at small studios, health clubs and gyms. The hard part is finding a class that's just right for you. Studios that are dedicated to yoga also foster a more dedicated practice. The same students return to class week after week, and instructors usually follow a particular discipline of yoga. Some classes are aimed at beginners.

Holistic Yoga Meditation 4221 Reshape Your Waist

The size of the waist is an indication of overall fitness for many people. Most health experts agree that a smaller waist is healthier than a big one. The reasoning behind this is that increases in fat around the waist usually result in increased health risks such as diabetes, high cholesterol and blood pressure.

So, how can yoga help reshape your waist.

In simple terms, by requiring you to move - and hold - your torso muscles as a unit, rather than isolating your abdominal muscles as you do in crunches. Yoga poses help to lengthen your overall torso.

Yoga Meditation 4221 Holistic Yoga Again Attracting Followers

The ancient Indian practice of yoga first arrived in the US at the beginning of the 20th century, but didn't really catch on until 1969 with chants at Woodstock. Now, after being overshadowed by the aerobics craze in the '80s and early '90s, yoga is once again attracting followers, with many looking for relief from ailments and injuries or from the stress of daily life.

Baby boomers, worn out from years of jogging and bouncy workouts, are back on board. But interest is growing with other age groups, too, from college students to senior citizens to celebrities.

The surge in interest is being fueled partly by doctors' growing acceptance of yoga's healing potential. Mainstream medicine has adopted yoga as a gentle therapeutic method for treating a number of illnesses, so more and more doctors are referring their patients to yoga. Initial trials have shown yoga can help people with many ailments such as arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, asthma and cardiac risk factors and much more.

Isokinetics Ball Chairs are the same chairs sold by others, only at a manufacturer direct price. No middleman means no need to pay more! And, we provide all of our chairs with a 1 year guarantee. As an additional bonus, we provide an exclusive exercise ball measuring tape that takes the guesswork out of inflating your ball. Sitting on an exercise ball while at home or work promotes flexibility, coordination, motor skills, core strengthening, and balance. Your body, when positioned on top of an exercise ball, is constantly making small adjustments, often imperceptible, to remain balanced and thus is constantly exercising a large group of muscles in doing so. By strengthening your body's core muscle group you help improve your posture, have better balance and guard against back injuries. It may take time before your body becomes accustom to sitting on an exercise ball, since your core muscles may not have gotten much exercise previously. Start by using it 10 to 15 minutes a day and gradually work your way up. If you have had back problems or injuries, make sure to consult your physician or therapist first. Note: We provide a small, starter pump for free for you to have a way to inflate your ball. However, exercise balls require a lot of air and it will take a lot of pumping with the free pump. So, you may want to consider purchasing at this time a high volume air pump, especially if you use exercise balls a lot or have other things you often inflate, like pool toys or air mattresses.
