SPLENDOR OF YOGA -- PART- 7
WHAT IS THE FIRST STEP
We should balance our body and mind with will power. Yoga is not merely to give vitality and beauty. The body is a temple. So it has to be kept clean untouched by diseases with the help of Yoga. The Yogic practices serve as a shield with exercises. Age and physical strength never hinder the path of Yoga. It has to be practiced in accordance to one’s age and strength. It could be practiced anywhere by anyone. Mental purity has to be brought in to focus. Meditation plays a greater role in keeping the mind calm and relaxed. Almost every Yoga technique has spinal cord as its base. Reason is the functioning of spinal cord acts as an instrument in controlling all parts of the body.
Spinal cord plays the role of chassis in a vehicle using legs as its wheel. As we are continuously engaged in one or more activities in our routine life as all nerves are directly in touch with spinal cord it is stressed and gets worn-out soon.( Four legs in animals give ample amount of support to the spinal cord, hence animals are free of spinal problems). Naturally we need some support by means of walking stick. Now we understand how significant our spinal cord is.
ELEMENTS OF HEALTH
A man’s mental and physical health is determined by his spinal cord and his proper functioning of his excretory glands – mentions Science.
Yoga postures are directed in such a way that spinal cord and excretory glands get kindled increasing the power of immunity to fight diseases.
SPINAL CORD
Nerves system consists of brain, which is enclosed in the cranial cavity of the skull. The spinal cord which extends from the brain through an opening at the base of skull down through the spinal column to about the level of the navel and peripheral nerves. These nerves include the pair of cranial nerves which extend from the brain mostly to various parts of the head and 31 pairs of spinal nerves which extend to neck, trunk and extremities. The nerves are a bundle of long cylindrical microscopic fibers and 16 inches in length. Hence it is rightly called the Second Brain. For example when we step on a thorn we immediately react to it by raising our legs. We get this order not from the mind but from the spinal cord. Spinal cord is the pivotal part of the body. The brain and the cord are connected by the nerves. Likewise nerves begin from cord with many branches connected to the muscle tissues of the body. This arrangement makes cord to serve as link between brain and the body by helping brain to get messages from all over the body in the form of feelings and sensations. At the same time it also carries order from the brain to the muscle tissues to the other parts of the body.
Spinal Cord serves as a junction for brain and body. It is difficult for one to think a man without spinal cord. As it has the function of heart, lungs, large intestines etc.etc in it’s hand.
Of all living creatures in the world only man could lay back on his spinal cord to sleep and rest.
Next to spinal cord, glands in our body play a prominent role. I will let you know in my next update.
WHAT IS IN THE NEWS?
1) Noted Yoga guru Baba Ramdev, who recently laid the foundation stone for a USD 20 million, Yoga and Ayurveda research centre in Houston, has been invited by US Congressmen to display his yogic exercises before them.
2) “I don’t think I’ll last in such an excruciating endurance test like the Iron Man. But I swear by yoga and swimming more than the gym. I feel really good after swim and yoga is simply mind-blowing” said Hollywood actress Anjori Alagh.
3) Jessica Alba says giving birth was more like “meditation”. The 27-year-old actress, who welcomed daughter Honor Marie in to the world on June 7, insists she exuded quiet strength during the natural labour and the whole experience was incredibly peaceful.
