A'sanas [Yoga Postures] and Mudras

 'A'sana' means 'a position in which one feels comfortable' -- 'Stirasukhama'sanam.'   A'sanas are a kind of exercise by regular practice of which the body stays healthy and hardy and many diseases are cured.  But a'sanas are not prescribed for the general cure of diseases; only those diseases which create trouble in the path of meditation may be cured by the help of specific a'sanas, so that sa'dhana' [intuitional practice] may more easily be done.

          The relation between the physical body and the mind is very close.  Mental expression is brought about through the vrttis, and the predominance of the vrttis depends on different glands of the body.  There are many glands in the body and from each there is a secretion of a particular hormone.  If there is any defect in the secretion of hormones or any defect in a gland, certain vrttis become excited.  For this reason, we find that in spite of having a sincere desire to follow the moral code, many persons cannot do so; they understand that they should do meditation, but they cannot concentrate their minds because their minds become extroverted due to the external excitement of this or that propensity.  If a person wants to control the excitement of these propensities, he or she must rectify the defects of the glands.  A'sanas help the sa'dhaka to a large extent in this task, so a'sanas are an important part of sa'dhana'.

          A list of a'sanas is given below.  The same a'sanas are not necessary for everyone.  There are more than 50,000 a'sanas; among them a few are named here which are most necessary for the path of meditation.  A trained intuitive will teach particular a'sanas to a person according to his or her need.

The Vagus Nerve and the Healing Promise of The Sudarshan Kriya

Mind, Brain, Neurology

At the center of our bodies resides a long, sinewy nerve that extends all the way from our medullas down through our chests to beyond our stomachs.  This nerve, known as the Vagus Nerve, happens to be at a most fascinating intersection, not only between our two physical nervous systems (our central and autonomic nervous systems) but also between our conscious minds and subconscious minds.  As such, it also acts as a bridge between our gross bodies and our subtle bodies.  And it’s a nerve probably 99% of the population have never heard of nor even have a clue where it’s located.  And yet the Vagus Nerve (ironically pronounced the exact same way as sin city itself, Las Vegas) may be the single most relevant organ in our body relative to our peace of mind and happiness.  

For thousands of years humanity has explored and discovered subtle realms of mind and body and practices in further these, especially well developed through tantra yoga, of which allopathy is maturing into acknowledging and accepting as propitious for optimal health.  

A Healthy Vagus Nerve  

Research indicates that a healthy vagus nerve is vital in experiencing empathy and fostering social bonding, and it is crucial to our ability to observe, perceive, and make complex decisions.  Tests have revealed that people with impaired vagal activity have also been diagnosed with depression, panic disorders, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), irritable bowel syndrome, anxiety, panic disorders, violent mood swings, fibromyalgia, early Alzheimer’s and obesity.  Given the state of society today and the vast array of dis-eases associated with unhealthy Vagus Nerves, it doesn’t take a medical doctor to conclude that by healing our collective Vagus Nerves, we can heal a lot of societies woes.  

Scientists have discovered that artificial Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS), through electrical impulses via a surgically implanted pacemaker like device, shows promising results in reducing depression, anxieties and even conditions such as epilepsy and obesity.  VNS has also shown positive effects in promoting weight-loss as the signals to the brain of ‘fullness’ are more easily transmitted.  

But what if there were a less intrusive and more natural way to stimulate and heal the Vagus Nerve?  


Automated Habit Formation 

Human Beings have an Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) that is the body’s automatic regulatory system of nerves and controls that do all the background tasks that keep the body operating.  The ANS is comprised of three separate subsystems, the Parasympathetic Nervous System (PNS), the Sympathetic Nervous System (SNS) and the Enteric Nervous System (ENS).  

The Parasympathetic Nervous System is responsible for many of our resting functions such as lowering heart rate, increasing digestive & gland activity and sexual arousal, the Sympathetic Nervous System is mainly associated with modulation of hormones and neurotransmitters relating to “flight or fight” responses.
