Yoga is the ancient art and science of balancing the physical and subtle anatomy of the individual. In Sanscrit yoga means “union”, a union between mind, body and spirit. A regular practice of yoga can bring very good results in therapies such as physiotherapy, psychotherapy, and in treatments of arthritis, asthma and hearth problems. Also it gives excellent result in eliminating alcohol, tobacco and drug addictions.

Scientist around the world are studying the effects of yoga on human body. A very interesting study was made by a Hungarian doctor Vigh Bela, on how the nervous system was influenced by yoga exercises. He came to a conclusion that certain asanas (postures) and pranayama (breathing) were connected with certain internal organs, endocrine glands and psychological states.

The seven basic asanas (postures) associated with seven chakras:

There are many different stages of Yoga, but here we will explore some basic Yogasana techniques that bring depth to the art and science of all forms of Reiki. Different techniques of Reiki activate the chakras which awaken kundalini power that is named Reiki In Japanese word. Reiki means the Universal Energy Power, a cosmic intelligence.

Yogasana, mostly understood Hatha Yoga, is a combination of physical postures, breath and awareness But Hatha Yoga is not only the physical balance, is also Higher levels of pracrtice Dhyana (Meditation) and Samadhi for expansion of consciousness.

∙ Ha- in breath – Solar energy – Sun channel- Pingala Nadi
∙ Tha- out breath – Lunar energy – Moon channel – Ida Nadi

Hatha Yoga, so called from a certain portion of its teaching, as to the practice of special methods of dealing with the incoming and outgoing, or “Ha” and “Tha” breaths, by which it is intended to affect the instrument, the body, so that it in turn will affect the Self within.

Hatha Yoga in these modern times works from the outside in to bring the physical forces into alignment with the subtle anatomy of our Higher Divine Nature. It is through the alignment of our energies with the Divine that the flow of Reiki energy for healing and personal growth is increased.

SURYA- NAMASKARA / SUN SALUTATION

The Sun Salutation is composed of 12 postures. Click here to learn them.

Swami Satchidananda in his book “Integral Hatha Yoga ” says that the Sun Salutation is the summary of Hatha Yoga postures. This means that these twelve postures are the least amount of yoga to be practiced to bring a balance into the twelve anatomical aspects of the physical body and its integration with the Higher Self. Each posture with the focus of intent has a particular anatomical and benefit. Each poses of Suryanamaskar activates the chakras as the spiritual awareness.

The Breath

The Sun Salutation may also be combined with the different breaths. There are many ways to work with breath and the postures. Some breaths are easy and some are difficult. It really is a matter of personal preference and your level of curiosity about the energy associated with the different techniques.

Breath of the Sun This is the simplest breath and has two levels:

∙ In the simplest form the postures are done one after another breathing an in-breath or an out breath on each posture. One round of the twelve postures is completed in six complete breaths.
∙ The second method is to breathe one complete breath with each posture. One round of the twelve postures is twelve complete breaths

The Intent:

The intent of each posture can be expanded to many levels of healing and personal growth. One function of these postures is to enable a person to learn the knowledge of the subtle anatomy.

As the intent is focused on the different layers of this knowledge the Reiki Energy flows through the anatomical aspects of our being and unfolds and opens us to a deeper awareness.

It is not necessary to work with these postures everyday to receive benefits. Two or three times a week brings some balance, helps relieve stress, and brings some health and healing in the body.

Once you learn these postures you will find that few minutes time is all you need to work through these steps. Of course you may work with yoga everyday if you wish and increase the length of time of your practice. It is all up to you.
