Would you like a few yoga techniques to end your stress with yoga; after a long day at work? The first de-stressing technique or Asana is called the Nishpandabhava. The Sanskrit word, Nishpandabhava comes from Nishpanda meaning passive and bhava meaning stance. Put your favorite piece of relaxing music to start.
Then just let go of your hands, legs, feet; loosen all the muscles and sit reclined against the wall. This activity regulates your breathing and steadies the mind. The music will absorb all your attention, synchronizing you breathing to the beat of the music. When you are breathing deeply, focus your attention on your third eye.
Remain in this state for at least 10 minutes. This will slow down the heart rate and reduces the blood pressure. This will also reduce the stress hormones, relax your muscles and your mind will slowly go into the alpha state of meditation. Another Asana called the Shavasana - has similar effects, only the back is stretched out.
Shava means a corpse and asana means posture. This asana completely relaxes all the muscles of the body and regulates breathing. Lie, flat on your back upon a mat. Focus your attention in this order and breathe deeply; the toes, the chest, the shoulders, the neck, the chin, the jaws, the mouth, the nose tip, the third eye, the forehead and the mind.
Yogendra Pranayam is of paramount importance. Breath or Vayu is called Prana and the usage is called Ayam. Hence, Pranayam means the correct usage of breath by the body. This technique ensures that all the cells in the body receive oxygen in proper amounts.
Lie down on the back, bending your knees and placing your feet flat in line with the shoulders, helping the muscles of the back, abdomen, and chest to loosen and dilate. Now place your hand on the navel and focus your attention on your breathing. Then take a deep breath slowly, feel your abdomen move upwards and try not to bloat your stomach. Return your abdomen to the same position with an exhalation.
Now just contract your stomach muscles, taking care that you do not contract the chest. These series of movements help relax the abdomen, promotes circulation and massages the organs held within. Practice this asana in cycles of 10 seconds. All the above Asanas help discipline the mind, give clarity of thought, steady the breathing and cultivate an attitude of being a spectator of the world. These steps will help end your stress with Yoga.
