Dowager’s Hump or commonly called neck hump is when there is a protrusion of the spinal none at the junction of shoulders and the spine from C7 to T1.

This generally happens if the spine is pulled up due to an unhealthy sedentary lifestyle and also due to health conditions.

Yogabhyasa is never about bending and twisting. It's about stilling the body and the mind.

The initial various asana practices are only to make the body flexible enough and then to still it with Asana siddhi. The sadhaka is asked to choose an asana of their choice and master it by staying in the asana for 3 to 4 hours. This is known as Asana siddhi. A sadhaka is to comfortably sit in their chosen asana for 3 to 4 hours without struggle.

Only then can the sadhaka explore Pratyahara, Dharana, Dhyana and Samadhi.

Still the body, still the mind.

Happy Mesha Sankranti to all. Perform 108 Sun Salutations today!

Culinary at Kechari

Food we eat nourishes our body, every cell and every organ (annamaya kosha). It also nourishes our pranamaya kosha when we eat the right food - live food, fresh food and vegetarian food. It's not good to reject dairy completely as it provides the fat necessary to keep the body, tissues, marrows, organs, digestive, excretory, respiratory canals lubricated for smooth operation of the body, and reduces vata dodhas. Moderation is the key here.

Sadhakas and non sadhakas alike have to ask themselves this very important question before their each meal "Am I eating to satisfy my taste buds or am I eating for your health and rejuvenation of my body and energy field?". A true sadhaka ALWAYS eats for their health and for maximum energy and not for taste. This doesn't mean one needs to give up tasty food, but a wholesome meal that provides full gamet of nutrients are the alternative. Again moderation takes the limelight.

Half your meal should be with fresh and live food like uncooked salads (cooked vegetables as sabzi if salads are difficult to include), 40% of your meal should be to provide proteins and carbohydrates and other nutrients, 10% for taste!

Also, ask yourself how often do you eat out? A home cooked fresh meal eaten within 4 to 5 hours of cooking is the best option.

Schedule your cheat meals, have a huge pizza with all the junk once in 6 months, a dosa, idli, puji, bajjis session once a month. An ice-cream and a chocolate bar once a week. Add variety, mix and match your vegetables and the staple food part to include varieties of dals, rice, ragi, wheat, jovar.

Always end your meal with a fruit, fruits are the forgotten part of the diet as in modern days desserts and sweetmeats have conveniently replaced the fruits which are a rich source of nutrients by themselves! Try a fruit milkshake, fruit lassi or any of its varients to break the monotomy. Include dryfruits as regularly as possible in your diet.

Know your dosha as per ayurveda and figure out a meal system that balances the doshas rather than aggrevating it.

A person with balanced tridoshas or a sadhaka can live with just two wholesome meals a day. If two meals seems difficult eat raw vegetables and fruits, tender-coconut (with masalas if required) as a third meal. Four meals a day are absolutely unnecessary for a modern day, urban, inert lifestyle when one spends hours sitting in front of a screen without movement and exercise. The body should be capable of digesting and burning all it eats instead of allowing the food's energy to be dessipated.

At least two liters of water is required to keep the body hydrated.

Food for thought? Food for your taste buds or food for a healthy living?! Choice is yours. Eat right, stay healthy and live long.
