Would Undoubtable Healing Power of Yoga Help in Fighting Covid 19?




It has always been mystery that what is there in yoga which works so effectively on almost all kind of body disorders and restores & replenishes its original strength. The subject is very vast and even thousands of books have not been able to explain all the aspects of yogic science. What ever little I know I am trying to put forth for the good of society.

Yoga has spiritual as well as materialistic value. Yoga, originates from "युज" ( yuj) धातु  (verb) which means addition or connection. Yoga is such a science which helps in connection of the body with soul and both of them while twined together with the almighty. This is the spiritual sense. In materialistic sense all the resources of body (all senses like visualizing, hearing, sniffing, taste, feel and (execution senses viz hands, feet) are focused and aligned with the soul to perform the single goal. In psychological language it may be considered as oneness of conscious and sub conscious mind to achieve the goal. Its but obvious that if your creative and decisive mind are working together they become almost unstoppable. Unimaginable results may be obtained through this method.
 
 Some of the major benefits of yoga are improvement in back-ache, head-ache, posture related issues, sleeping disorders, improved concentration / focus, improved satisfaction level, happiness, improved social orientation and higher level of inner peace. Yogic science is not like western music or injection which will create and make impact in moments. It is like Reiki and Spiritual healing kind of thing. All the impurities are cleansed slowly and gradually and day by day a better, stronger and more focused, more divine individual appears. Like a butterfly from a cocoon or a large tree from a small seed all the transformational changes are noise less. this is the way nature works.

Now a days Covid 19 is the worry every where. "How would yoga help us over come such a pandemic? " is the natural question which comes to one's mind. Yoga is known for its healing powers. The regular practice of different kind of pranayam and aasanas (poses) helps one boost his/her immune system and raise confidence level. Both of these things are important for healthy human being.

The beauty of yoga is that one need not be a yogi or yogini to reap the benefits. Whether young or old, overweight or fit, yoga has the power to calm the mind and strengthen the body for every body. Don’t be intimidated by yoga terminology, fancy yoga studios and complicated poses. Yoga is for everyone.

Anulom Vilom, Rechak, kumbhak, Bhrastika, Bhramarika are some of the most common pranayams. Similarly Tadasan, Trikonaasan, Uttanpadaasan, Bhujangaasan, Naukaasan, Chakrasan, Matsyendraaasan, Marjaaraasan, Halasan, Mayurasan, Surya Namaskaar are some of the aasans which can be easily performed. help of a guide or help of books, audio / videos may be taken to understand the details.

Wishing you a very happy and healthy life:
सर्वे भवन्तु सुखिनः सर्वे सन्तु निरामयाः । सर्वे भद्राणि पश्यन्तु मा कश्चिद् दुःखभाग्भवेत् ॥
