It is best if you can learn the exercises which are recommended for your specific self-therapy from an experienced yoga instructor. He or she will be able to guide you in the rate, rhythm and duration of each movement. Any mistaken or ineffective movements or positions will be corrected and you will get much more benefit from your exercises. This would require only one to eight visits (depending on your problem and experience in exercising) so that you can learn these exercises well. Then you can continue at home on your own, unless you prefer a class setting or would like to go beyond the self-therapy stage to the self-development and then the self-knowledge stages of your evolution. In that case it would be wise to find a recommended and responsible yoga center near you and proceed beyond self-therapy into self-transformation.

The two basic causes are lack of sufficient fiber in the diet, and nervous tension. Once these are remedied in most cases the problem will be solved. Continue reading “HS41 Hemorrhoids”

IMPORTANCE OF BREATH

Life is not possible without breath. Life in the physical body begins with the first breath and ends with the last. The Greek word for lungs, «pneumonia», finds its roots in the word «pneuma» or spirit. In English we say inspire and expire. That is to bring the spirit in and to send it out. In esoteric Christianity one finds the word «Holy Breath» used interchangeably with «Holy Spirit». It is through the Holy Breath that we receive the Holy Spirit and are transformed.

As mentioned in the chapter of the philosophy and self-therapy, our health is a function of our connection with the Universal Source of all life energy. This may seem difficult for some to understand. This energy is much subtler than our senses are able to perceive. Scientific instruments can in our days record this energy by means of Kirlian photography, showing the aura of light energy which is otherwise invisible, except when a being is photographed in an electromagnetic field.
