Pranayama is given importance because it removes physical and mental impurities.Vyasa , the commentator of Patanjali’s Yoga Sutra states that there is no Tapas superior to Pranayama “Tapas” is done for removal of impurities and pranayama is considered as the supreme form of tapas. In Pranayama, the correct technique of breathing has to be followed.Also the practice of the three Bandhas assumes special importance.Why Pranayama for Middle Aged People

Role of Pranayama in maintaining well being :

Well-being calls for a pleasant state of mind .That is achieved when there are no distractions and disturbances in the mind.According to Hathayoga Pradipika the mind and breath are closely linked.When any one of them is agitated , the other one also gets agitated. The  same is the case with calmeness also . To make the mind calm, the bdeath must be made quiet.Also the illness is primary cause for the absence of well being and treatment and prevention of illness is an important step in the path towards well beinig.

Yoga For Cervical Spondylosis

Cervical spondylosis is a common degenerative condition of the cervical spine. It is a condition involving changes to the bones, discs, and joints of the neck. It is most likely caused by age-related changes in the inter-vertebral disks. The changes are caused by the normal wear- and-tear of aging. With age, the discs of the cervical spine gradually lose fluid, and become stiffer. These include neck and shoulder pain, sub-occipital pain and headache.

To a certain extent, we all develop a degree of degeneration in the vertebrate and discs as we become older. More than 80% of the people over the age of 60 are affected. As the ‘discs’ degenerate over the years, they become thinner. Sometimes the adjacent vertebrae develop small, rough areas of bone on their edges. The nearby muscles, ligaments and nerves may become irritated by these degenerative changes which can cause troublesome symptoms.

Causes :

From chronic degeneration of the cervical spine including the cushions between the neck vertebrae (cervical disks) and joints between the bones of the cervical spine.

A previous neck injury (which may have occurred several years prior) can predispose to spondylosis, but the major risk factor is aging. By the age of 60, 70% of women and 85% of men show changes consistent with cervical spondylosis on x-ray

Symptoms :

•  Neck pain (may radiate to the arms or shoulder)
• Loss of sensation or abnormal sensations of the shoulders, arms, or (rarely) legs
• Weakness of the arms (rarely) legs
• Neck stiffness that progressively worsens
• Lose of balance

Risk factors for cervical spondylosis include:

• Age- Cervical spondylosis is a normal wear-and-tear of aging. Spinal disk tend to  dehydrate and shrink with the age.
• Occupation- Certain jobs may place extra stress on your neck. This may include repetitive neck motions, wrong sitting postures or a lot of overhead work.
• Neck injuries- previous neck injuries appear to increase the risk of cervical spondylosis.
• Genetic factors- Some families will have more of these changes over time, while other families will develop less.

Yogic management :

1. Neck and Spinal exercises: The simple exercises of neck movements facilitate the practice of further range of Yogic techniques by loosening the joints and relax the muscles. These practices are backward, sideward (turning and bending) and twisting movements.
2.  Sukshma Vyayama: Griva-sakyi-vikasaka ( Strengthening the Neck) (1) (Exercise A&B), Griva-sakti-vikasaka (Strenghtening the Neck) (2 & 3), Skandha tatha bahu-mula-sakti-vikasaka (developing the strength of the Shoulder-Blades & Joints), Purna-bhuja-sakti-vikasaka (Developing the Arms).
3. Yogasanas: Tadasana, Urdhwa Hastottanasana, kitchakrasana, Ardhachakrasana, konsana, Vajrasana, Ushtrasana, Vakrasana, Ardhamatsyendrasana, Marjari-asana, Gomukhasana, Uttanamandukasana, sarala Matsyasana, Gomukhasana, Uttanamandukasana, sarala Matshyana, Bhujangasana, Shalabhasana, Dhanur-asana, Makarasana, Shavasana.
4. Pranayama: Nadishuddhi, Suryabhedana and Bhramari.

A History of Ayurveda- the Most Ancient Surviving Medical System

It is that one method of medicine and wellness which has been around since antiquity, a civilizational victory and testimony to man’s struggle against disease in none other than the land of birth of the Vedic knowledge system. Ayurveda is integrally, historically part of India’s legacy for the quest for the holistic spiritual wellness of mankind.

The true history of Ayurveda starts in the time of the Vedas, the ancient Holy Books of the Aryans (“noble ones”).  Hindu mythology tells us that Lord Brahma, the creator of the world, transmitted the knowledge of Ayurveda to mankind.  The four Vedas are called Rig Veda, Yajur Veda, Sama Veda and Atharva Veda.  They were written about 3-5 thousand years ago.  All the Vedas contain medical knowledge based upon the principles of Ayurveda, especially the Atharva Veda.

It was well known to the ancient peoples of the East that rishis and munis existed, learned sages and saints who devoted their life to understanding the realities of the world (the word rishi and muni are interchangeable, but a rishi would be the most spiritually advanced of these two words for sage).  Aryavarta, the land of the Aryans which covers the wide surrounding area of the Himalayas, is the native home of the rishis and munis.  The surrounding area of the Himalayas in the present political landscape includes the countries of Nepal, India, Pakistan, Bhutan, and Bangladesh.

The ancient civilization of these countries was strongly influenced by the unique intellectual contributions of these holy sages.  The hymns, liturgical formulas and medical knowledge found in the Vedas were the contributions of various rishis and munis.  The sages realized that sickness was a major impediment to the search for liberation, and so many of them became vaidyas to help their people.  Vaidya, the Sanskrit word for physician, is derived from the root word for wisdom.

The Principle

The philosophical framework underlying Ayurvedic treatment foregrounds ‘interconnectedness’. Here are it’s basic tenets-

• All things of the universe, the living and non-living, the human and non-human, are part of a harmonious wholeness. The five universal elements—Space, Air, Fire, Water, and Earth are what everything is, at a cellular level.
• The Self and the environment are not separate from one another.
• Connected within ourselves and with the people and world around us is a pathway to true health and wellness.
• Balance is the key to health. One must maintain balance in one’s thoughts and emotions, as well as dietary consumptions.
• Effectively recognizing the junctures of imbalance in lifestyle and eliminating the negative thrusts to regain health and wholesomeness.
• Lastly, to understand and learn to take responsibility for one’s choices and actions, and ushering health by making balanced choices which may ensure harmony.

In conclusion, through further research into the spiritual origins and history of Ayurveda, we are able to see a greater influence of the Gods as well as a closer connection to the rishis of Ayurveda and their influence on the Briha Trayi. There is a basic tree graph showing a simple linear path of the origins and history of Ayurveda. I can’t help feel that this graph could be updated as the influence of the Gods and the influence of the rishi’s teachings are anything but linear. After my research I conclude that the graph should be similar to this:

Health and Wellness Retreats in Nepal:

The terms health and wellness are commonly thrown together, thanks in large part to the prevalence of wellness programs promoting better health in the workplace. It’s easy to see how the two terms could be interchangeable, but the difference between health and wellness is important.Further about wellness retreats in nepal

Wellness programs largely focus on the idea of ​​preventative care, which is primarily designed to save policyholders (and employers) money in the long run. Although many employers can unfortunately sink a ton of time and money into wellness programs without any strategy whatsoever they have.

The general idea is that if people are getting regular checkups, adhering to their prescribed medication regimen, and getting recommended vaccines, health problems can either be completely prevented, or at least managed before they become extraordinarily expensive. Although it’s fair to say that one of the goals of wellness programs is to make people healthier, there is a difference between health and wellness. So let’s dive into this difference and why it matters. This provision is available here in Himalayan Yoga Academy throughout the yogic means and other sorts of spiritual healing ways.

Health:

*The World Health Organization defines health as “not merely the absence of disease or infirmity, but a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being.”
*Wellness has been defined more as the action an individual takes to meet the above definition of health.
*When we feel easy, feeling wellbeing and reside in our own nature that is called health.  *Health is the absence of illness, injury or disease.

Wellness incorporates the power of choice, meaning an individual has the ability to take action towards optimal health. The individual creates the proper environment for a healthier lifestyle. There is an understanding that there is no quick fix for optimal health, that the path of health is an infinite journey. To reach an optimal state of health and wellness, the individual appreciates that the body is a three-dimensional being. Body, mind, and spirit are woven together as one. Any action, thought, feeling that one has, will create a rippling effect on not only their body, but in those that surround

Wellness is much more than the absence of illness; it is health-promoting behaviors to achieve your full potential. In other words, wellness is the pursuit of your best possible health and well-being. It is a conscious choice, self directed and self motivating. The other aspect of wellness is that it focuses on preventative health care; keeping you healthy, as opposed to a traditional health care view that looks only at getting you back to a state where there is no illness or injury.

Wellness is an active process of becoming aware of and making choices toward a healthy and fulfilling life. Wellness is more than being free from illness; it is a dynamic process of change and growth. Here in our Himalayan Yoga Academy we provide different well being packages such as retreat therapies like Massage, Shirodhara, Sauna, Steam, Swimming, Reiki healing, Sound healing, regular Yoga practice with shatakarmas, Yogasana, pranayama, Yoganidra, Dhyana (Meditation), etc.

Wellness:

Wellness is a difficult word to define. Traditionally wellness has meant the opposite of illness and the absence of disease and disability. More recently wellness has come to describe something that you have personal control over. Wellness is now a word used to describe living the best possible life you can regardless of whether you have a disease or disability. Your wellness is not only related to your physical health, it will be holistic approach and is a combination of things including spiritual wellness, social wellness, mental wellness and emotional wellness which are available in Himalayan Yoga Academy. Wellness is seen as a combination of mind, body and spirit. Different people may have different ideas about wellness. There is no single set standard for wellness and wellness is a difficult thing to quantify.

Eight Dimensions of Wellness

There are eight dimensions of wellness:
Occupational, Emotional, Spiritual, Environmental, Financial, Physical, Social, and Intellectual. Each dimension of wellness is interrelated with another. Each dimension is equally vital in the pursuit of optimum health. One can reach an optimal level of wellness by understanding how to maintain and optimize each of the dimensions of wellness, usually we focus in our training and regular session in a very much informative ways at Himalayan Yoga Academy.

Environmental wellness inspires us to live a lifestyle that is respectful of our surroundings. This realm encourages us to live in harmony with the Earth by taking action to protect it. Environmental well-being promotes interaction with nature and your personal environment. It takes care whole existence. Everyone can have a strong environmental conscious simply by raising their awareness and responsibility.

Occupational wellness is about enjoying your occupational endeavors and appreciating your contributions. This dimension of wellness encourages personal satisfaction and enrichment in one’s life through work. But our profession or occupation should be our hobby, not a burden.

Financial Wellness involves the process of learning how to successfully manage financial expenses. Money plays a critical role in our lives and not having enough of it impacts health as well as academic performance. Financial stress is repeatedly found to be a common source of stress, anxiety and fear for college students. But too much collection more than need, sometimes creates disasters in life.

Emotional wellness relates to understanding your feelings and coping effectively with stress. It is important to pay attention to self-care, relaxation, stress reduction and the development of inner resources so you can learn and grow from experiences.

Intellectual wellness involves having an open mind, free of mind, intelligence when you encounter new ideas and continuing to expand your knowledge. It encourages active participation in scholastic, cultural and community activities.

Physical wellness relates to maintaining a fit body, active body, healthy body and seeking care when needed. Physical health is attained through exercise, eating well, getting enough sleep & rest and paying attention to the signs of illness and getting help when needed.

Social wellness helps you perform social roles effectively and comfortably, and create a support network. This dimension of wellness allows you to not only develop encouraging relationships with peers, but also intimate relationships with romantic partners, well social adjustment, and good social behaviours.

Spiritual wellness allows you to develop a set of values that help you seek meaning and purpose. Spirituality can be represented in many ways, for example, through relaxation, self realization, self guided personality, imaginary personality, honest, humours, truthful or religious. But being spiritually well means knowing which resources to use to cope with issues that come up in everyday life with sense of humours.

Note: Yoga is Union of Health, Happiness and Harmony

What is Reiki?

Reiki is a simple yet profound mode of energy healing that promotes deep relaxation, awareness and restoration of balance in the body, mind and spirit. “Rei” means “mystery,” “universal,” or “sacred,” while “Ki” means “life force energy,” so “Reiki” means “sacred universal life force energy.”

Ki, also known as prana or qi, flows around us in our aura and within our physical bodies through pathways called chakras, meridians and nadis. When there are energetic blockages or your ki is low, a practitioner can facilitate balancing of energetic systems and healing by channeling Reiki by means of touch and also has the capacity to assist in healing by transcending space and time. Reiki helps to harmonize & balance all systems of the body, bringing your being back to its natural state of equanimity.

Reiki Healing and Reiki Massage

Massage is also the system of natural healing. When we combine massage in the Reiki healing system that becomes the Reiki massage. Massage and Reiki together can heal our physical and mental diseases. They both are the best ways of getting peace in our life. Reiki massage can heal our body by the energy of the divine with our body’s natural healing power. It is considered as an effective treatment system for natural healing systems. By this healing technique, we can be healed without any side effects.

e synergy of Reiki and massage expands the benefits of alleviating stress & tension and decreasing pain by also helping to balance energy systems, restore harmony and offer greater clarity & insight. By addressing both the physical and energetic bodies, Psychedelic Reiki Massage offers a more holistic approach, combining the grounding elements of massage with the more ethereal realms of energy work.

Health Benefits of Reiki Healing or Massage

Reiki can: 

• Increase energy flow throughout the body, enhancing personal health and aliveness.
• Strengthen energetic, psychic and intuitive awareness, while facilitating spiritual growth.
• Build a deeper understanding of communication and connection by means of touch.
• Facilitate energetic healing on a physical, emotional, psychological and karmic level.
• Promote one’s ability to be present in the moment.

Massage can: 

• Improve circulation, lower blood pressure, boost immunity and remove metabolic waste from the body.
• Boost serotonin and dopamine levels, help manage anxiety & depression, raise alertness and improve sleep.
• Alleviate stress & tension, encourage relaxation and promote a sense of well-being.
• Decrease pain, improve flexibility & posture and increase range of motion.

Reiki helps us to feel the energy of the universe. The energy is around us can be connected by the Reiki technique and massage can open the blockages in our body. If we make the amalgamation of both therapies in one place, the speed of healing accelerates. The cosmic energy has the great power to heal the diseases of our body and mind.

Importance of Reiki Massage

Cosmic energy can be called by the system of Reiki. Reiki can be the life-changing therapy in our life. Reiki has not any side effects but it can vitalize our body by providing us the natural power. The natural power is the best way to be positive in our life. Massage looses our muscles and opens our nerves. When massage can be done by the beautiful cosmic Reiki energy the energy can enter into the loosen body easily and increases the healing rate.

We are blessed by the natural energy all the time but if there is someone to be the mediator to capture that energy, we can be blessed by the life force energy. We all seek good health and peaceful mind but we rarely find what we search in our life. If we can get the chance to have an experience of Reiki massage, then we can be grateful for this existence for providing the chance to have the wonderful experience in our life.
