Om. We pray The Three-Eyed Lord Shiva who is fragrant and who increasingly nourishes the devotees. Worshipping him may we be liberated from death for the sake of immortality just as the ripe cucumber easily separates itself from the binding stalk

Importance/Benefits:

Yoga as we all know is wholistic and not just a physical practice. A complete lifestyle shift. Ofcourse some people just focus on the Asana and pranayama practice but that is a very small component of the Yogic Philosophy.

The 4 Pillars of a Yogic lifestyle are
1. Samayak Aahaar - Right Food. Aahaar is actually something which you consume. So its not just about food but also what you take in mentally and emotionally. Its about being mindful about what you eat, how you eat and maintaining the right balance based on what is right for one's body
2. Samyak Vihaar - Right relaxation. This component includes rest, sleep, as well as the right active recreation or hobby.
3. Samyak Achaar - Right habits and routines. Yoga recommends that there should be specific structure in your day - a routine - which includes habits which uplift you and energize you Physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. At the same time, Yogis should be flexible with their routines for any grey days or unexpected events and not become fixated or rigid about them.
4. Samyak Vichaar - Right Thoughts - This is one of the most important aspects - Because everything always starts with a thought. Any man made creation was once a thought. The Chair we sit on, the soft pillow, the bed, the car - all of these were just a thought before it became a reality. Thought is the seed. So we have to become mindful of what kinds seeds we are planting in our lives.

We shall cover these 4 Pillars in detail and various aspects of the Yogic Philosophy in more detail in the coming posts and reels.

VIBRATE HIGHER

(This post is not written by me but I found it very relevant to current times. This information is compiled & edited by Naturotherapist Dr. Harshal Sancheti, Nasik but
the original source of this information is from the book Power Vs Force
Based on David R Hawkins' Doctoral Thesis.

The Spiritually inclined will understand:

The covid virus has a vibration of 5.5hz and dies above 25.5hz.

For humans with a higher vibration, infection is a minor irritant that is soon eliminated!

The reasons for having low vibration could be:
Fear, Phobia, Suspicion
Anxiety, Stress, Tension.
Jealousy, Anger, Rage
Hate, Greed,deceit, cunningness, cheating,
Attachment or Pain

And so......we have to understand to vibrate higher, so that the lower frequency does not weaken our immune system.

The frequency of the earth today is 27.4hz. but there are places that vibrate very low like:
Hospitals
Assistance Centers.
Jails
Underground etc.

It is where the vibration drops to 20hz, or less.
For humans with low vibration, the virus becomes dangerous.
Pain 0.1 to 2hz.
Fear 0.2 to 2.2hz.
Irritation 0.9 to 6.8hz.
Noise 0.6 to 2.2hz.
Pride 0.8 hz.
Superiority 1.9 hz.

A higher vibration on the other hand is the outcome of the following behaviour :-
Generosity 95hz
Gratitude 150 hz
Compassion 150 hz or more.

The frequency of Love and compassion for all living beings is 150 Hz and more.

Unconditional and universal love from 205hz
So...Come on ...

Vibrate Higher!!!

*What helps us vibrate high?*

Loving, Smiling, Blessing, Thanking, Playing, Painting, Singing, Dancing, Yoga, Tai Chi, Meditating, Walking in the Sun, Exercising, Enjoying nature, etc.
Foods that the Earth gives us: seeds-grains-cereals-legumes-fruits and vegetables-
Drinking water: help us vibrate higher ..... !!!

The vibration of prayer alone goes from 120 to 350hz. So sing, laugh, love, meditate, play, give thanks and live !
Let's vibrate high .... !!

Positivity attracts more positivity ......B Happy B positive.....to B Covid 19 Negative😊😊😊😊🙏🏻🙏🏻

When your mind becomes like still water, it stops distorting reality and reflects things as they are.

A prayer which I and my kids love which I would love to share with you all. And I sincerely pray this for all of you my dear friends.

Tera mangal, mera mangal, sab ka mangal hoye re​

May you be blessed, may I be blessed, may all be blessed

Jis gurudev ne dharm diya hain, unka mangal hoye re

May the one who showed me the path of Dharma be blessed

Jis janani ne janam diya hain, uska mangal hoye re

May the one who gave birth to me be blessed

Paala posa aur badhaya, uss pita ka mangal

May the one (father) who took care of all my needs be blessed

Iss jagat ke sab dukhiyare, praani ka mangal hoye re

May all the suffering ones be blessed

Jal main, sthal main, aur gagan main, sabka mangal hoye re

May all beings in water, on earth and in the sky be blessed

Antar mann ke gaathe toote, antar nirmal hoye re

May my inner conflicts be resolved, and may I be purified

Raag dwesh aur moh mitt jaaye, sheel samadhi hoye re

May all be free of cravings and aversions, and may inner peace prevail

Shuddh dharm dharti par jaage, paap parajit hoye re

May true Dharma light the earth, and may spiritual darkness dissolve

Iss dharti ke tar tin main, kan kan main dharm samoye re

May Dharma abide in each and every atom of the earth

Shuddh dharm jan jan main jaage, ghar ghar shanti samoye re

May Dharma awaken in each being, and may each home be filled with peace

Tera mangal, mera mangal, sab ka mangal hoye re​

May you be blessed, may I be blessed, may all be blessed

Man is a Bridge : A Bridge between Devil and Divine.

As humans, We have the capacity to make conscious choices and move towards our Divinity - Our higher potential.

Many times we slip into the old unconscious habits which just take our energies down, pull us into negativity.

At such times it is the healthier practices and routines which help us to rise up and bridge the gap from where we are to where we want to be.

Take one step more towards the healthier habits- Try out a Mindful Yoga class with me and you will experience the difference which the current participants are feeling - not just physically but mentally and energetically. DM me for more details.

Your body is your best friend. It gives you signals, gives you messages and is always in the present. Take out time to Befriend it, listen to your body, thank your body organs for supporting you always and pamper it too.

Your mind is your best servant if you master it, but if it becomes your master and you start serving it, then all chaos begins.

Mastering the Mind doesnt mean trying to control it, because it is just next to impossible to control your mind.

I am reminded of this beautiful story of Buddha. Once Buddha was traveling with in his disciple Anand through a jungle. Buddha was tired and thirsty and asked Anand to fetch water for him from the river through which they had passed few minutes back.

Anand went immediately and returned without water. He told Buddha that the water was too dirty to drink as a caravan had just passed and the whole river was muddy.

Buddha asked him to return to the same river and get water and not return without fetching water.

When Anand reached the river, it was very dirty still. He tried to stir the water and see if he would get clear water but in vain. He couldnt return without water so he sat there and within few minutes, the mud started to settle down and soon the water was clear.

He got the message which Buddha wanted to give him. That the mind settles down when you just witness it, dont stir it, dont feed it with anything else from outside, just with indifference be a watcher and slowly the mind settles.

MEDITATION is the way for MASTERING your MIND.

One of the very simple asanas which gives so many benefits which you must do every day to improve your spinal health.

Keep your wrist, elbow and shoulders in one line, and your knees slightly separated to be in line with your hips.

When you inhale you arch your back, look up and feel the stretch in your abdomen.

When you exhale you hunch your back and scoop the navel towards your spine.

You could do it dynamically changing the posture with each inhale and exhale or else just be in each posture for few breaths.
