Relaxation and the Sun

All living beings likes to sunbathe, to charge with life-giving energy.
Of course, these days no matter when and how much time we spend in the Sun, so just carefully.

But the best relaxation is with the sunshine, try it. Just lie in the Sun 10 minutes and you see, your all body will be totally relaxed and filled with energy.

Indeed, there is no one more so relaxing effect with heat, power and energy supply, such as solar radiation. Lie in savasana (not important in bikini), breathe abdominal breathing and relax, focus on the power of the Sun, give ourselves over the entire recharging and relaxing.

Yoga and the detoxification

When I learned as naturopath I always said when someone asked for me advice: first to detoxify before any cure or treatment begins. A overloaded body cannot to accommodate the healing herbs, oils, or treatments. So the basic is the body detoxification, and nowadays it would be necessary to clean the many harmful substances regularly. I don't want detox cures to teach now, everyone can to find many practica for yourself easily on the web. But I mention the useful advice as: any course of treatment to chosen, drink a big glass clear warm water on empty stomach in the morning, is vital.

Anyone who has seriously tried to diet or to go through a detoxification cure certainly faced with the fact: is debilitates the body and are physically difficult the first few days. The Yoga can easily be done these days, and even the effect on the metabolism and circulation may increase, accelerate the detoxification process, and can possible constipation be avoided too. The strenuous exercises leave it in the first few days, but when you feel energetic enough to practice the Sun Salutation up to 12x.

Finally, to mention some truly relaxing and enhancing metabolism and digestive yoga practice in the following order:

- Shoulderstand or Sarvangasana

- Plow or Halasana

- Wheel or Chakrasana

- Sitting forward bend or Paschimottanasana

- Cobra pose or Bhujangasana

- Locust pose or Salabhasana

- Bow pose or Dhanurasana

- Child pose or Balasana

- Sitting twist or Ardha Matsyendrasana

- Triangle or Trikonasana

(Here find it them)

These practices are effect to endocrine glands and created intra-abdominal pressure, possibly combined with abdominal breathing are massaging effect, thus improving the metabolism, helping digestion, and massaging the intestines. So I recommend this sort of practice with warm-heartedly for the dieting and who try to detoxify the body through digestion.
Of course, the relaxation and meditation are indispensable, and these in addition it recharges in these days.

Yoga and the sounds

Differences between the practices of yoga and other physical training methods

"There are numerous modern physical culture systems designed to develop the muscles. Physical culturists develop them by mechanical movements and exercises. Yogic exercises not only develop the body, but also broaden the mental faculties. Moreover, the Yogi acquires mastery over the involuntary muscles of his organism.

The fundamental difference between Yogic exercises and ordinary physical exercises is that physical culture emphasizes violent movements of the muscles, whereas Yogic exercises oppose violent muscle movements as they produce large quantities of lactic acid in the muscle fibers, thus causing fatigue. The effect of this acid and the fatigue it causes is neutralized by the alkali in the muscle fibers, as well as by the inhaling of oxygen.

It is on this theory that modern physical culturists work. They try to increase the intake of oxygen so that fatigue may be lessened while working. Although their theory seems sound enough, the founders of the Yoga system for many centuries possessed a knowledge superior to all modern theories. The Yoga system is not new; it had been taught for many centuries before the modern systems were conceived.

Muscular development of the body does not necessarily mean a healthy body, as is commonly assumed, for health is a state when all organs function perfectly under the intelligent control of the mind."


Swami Vishnu-devananda: The Complete Illustrated Book of Yoga

Still, there may a time in our lives when we feel that something more dynamic exercise we need like the Yoga.

My advice is that, try to choose an exercise that suits for you. To mention one example: currently is a trend to run as exercise, but careless application of serious injuries we can get, for example, our bone structure is too weight, our congenital of physique is inadequate for running, we do not use proper shoes, or simply not good terrain where we run, all factors which can irreversibly damage for our body.

Take care of yourself, to your heart, the bones, and do not overload your body, because it's not good for your health and to even destructive.
