Yoga Can Help Relieve Back Pain

Regular yoga practice will help to relieve the stress and tension that sometimes cause mild back pain, and in fact, studies have shown that yoga is the number one most effective exercise for relieving back pain. However, not all yoga poses relieve back pain, and some can in fact aggravate existing pain, so it is important to know which poses are helpful.

It is always best to do these yoga exercises under the supervision of a certified yoga instructor, and if you encounter any problems with these poses, always consult an expert.

Just a couple of sessions with a yoga instructor can help, an instructor will help you with your form and posture during poses. Here is one of the best yoga poses for relieving back pain. This pose should be done on a mat or other soft, supportive surface.

Corpse Pose: Lie flat on your back in a relaxed position, arms resting at your sides, palms down, and legs lying naturally, with knees turned out slightly. If it hurts your back to have your knees turned outward, do this pose with knees bent, feet flat on the floor. Breathe in and out slowly and deeply for a few minutes while allowing any tension to leave the body. To further relax the body and the mind you could also add a Meditation to your outward breath. For instance the mantra Gauranga which is a non-material spiritually uplifting sound which brings peace to the heart and soothes the emotions. It's very simple process.

1. While in Corpse pose INHALE through the nostrils while focusing on the Gauranga meditation. As you EXHALE say outloud Gauranga for the full extention of the outward breath. Repeat for at least 5 minutes and experience it for yourself.

This practise has many physical and well as emotional and spiritual benefits making it a truly holistic practise and experience.

Why I practise Yoga Meditation (Part 2)

Just by doing it i was able to experience all the benefits that people desire to achieve from holistic yoga meditation, even if i wasn't initally after them. I could feel myself being more able to relax. Any tension from the day could be melted away with ease. My mind started becoming clearer and i could more effectively see and deal with the stressful situations that inevitably arise in our lives.

Because of this, stress levels naturally decrease. As stress levels decrease, all sorts of positive benifits can manifest in the body. I also noticed my relationships with people around me improving. I was finding myself better able to relate to others in a kind and understanding way, and experiencing a genuine care for their wellbeing.

Truly, every aspect of my life has improved. All the details that we struggle with are included in the benefits of this meditation practice. All that i needed to do was make the practice of holistic yoga meditation a part of my day.

It could very easily sound like one of those too good to be true kinds of things. But the beauty of it is there is nothing to loose. It is more than worth a few hours of your time to attend a couple of the classes and learn what it is all about. Guaranteed no regrets!

All the best on a wonderful journey!

"Why I decided to Add Holistic Yoga Meditation to my daily life"

Everyone i know who enjoys the practice of meditation and yoga, initally became interested in it for their own individual reasons. Whether it is a change of lifestyle that a person might be after, or simply a need to relax at the end of the day, i have found this meditation practice to cover all the bases.

Before i began to add holistic yoga meditation to my daily life i was really experiencing a feeling of confusion. I wanted to know what 'it' was all about and what i was supposed to be doing. I enjoyed wandering here and there searching for something that seemed unfindable.

Whenever i returned from my travels i was always left with a feeling of "well, now what?" I was just as uncertian about things as before i left and had less money! Eventually my sniffing around and real desire to know what 'it' was all about led me to a person who gave me the opportunity to learn about the real meaning of meditation and taught me how to apply it to my life in a simple and fun way.

Yoga Meditation 4221 Palm Beach - How to practice 3 Part Yoga Breath

noreply@blogger.com (holistic yoga meditation life 4221 palm beach qld) — Sat, 29 Oct 2011 07:28:00 +0000

BREATHING

Complete Yoga Breathing:

Before practising yoga asanas it is good to relax and do some yoga breathing. Practise sarvasana at the end of yoga also. You can practise while standing but I think it's best practised lying on your mat.

If you like you could place a folded blanket or a bolster under the spine, from sacrum up and a block or a thin pillow under the head.

Relax down into your mat. Let your feet be floppy.
Bring your hands to your lower belly touching the tips of the thumbs together and touching the index fingers together around the belly button.

Breathing into the lower belly, feel the fingers seperating with the breath X 3 breaths.
Next, bring opposite hands to opposite sides of your lower rib cage, direct your breath to your hands, feel the lower ribs rising and expanding with the breath X 3 breaths.
Next, move the hands up to the upper ribs and tuck your hands into you arm pits, direct your breath to your hands, feel the upper ribs rising and expanding with the breath X 3 breaths.
Lastly, bring your hands up to your collar bones. You can keep your hands crossed, just check to make sure you are not rounding your shoulders, stay open and broad across the chest. Direct your breath to your hands and feel the collar bones gently rising as the breath fills the top part of the lungs and relaxing on the exhale.

Now, combine all of these areas into one full smooth inhale and exhale.

As you inhale think about filling a jug up with water, let the breath fill from the bottom of the lungs upwards. As you exhale visualise emptying the jug from the top all the way to the bottom. At the end of the breath gently squeeze the abdominal muscles to assist the full emptying of the lungs.

Three part yoga breathing is very relaxing, brings awareness to the breath and helps us to develop the great habit of deep breathing.

Try it, even 5 minutes each day will do you the world of good.

Yoga Meditation 4221 Palm Beach: How To Practice Tadasana Mountain Pose

noreply@blogger.com (holistic yoga meditation life 4221 palm beach qld) — Tue, 18 Oct 2011 10:23:00 +0000

I havn't posted for a few days, have been trying to sort out the spammy sites that have been using my url to try to get traffic to their nasty sites. I did think about changing my blog and starting up another one, but figure I will just wait it out and hopefully those sites will eventually disappear. To protect yourselves do not do a google search for our site, instead type the full address into the browser bar.

http://holisticyogateachertraining.blogspot.com

This is the only way you will be able to get to this blog safely.

K... lets get started. I was going to begin with the triangle pose as I did get a request for information on that particular asana. Instead I have decided to begin with Tadasana or Mountain Pose. This asana forms the stable base for all standing poses.

Tadasana / Tada = Mountain / Tadasana = Mountain Pose

Step by step instructions

1. Stand with both feet together, or with your feet hip distance apart
2. Lift and gently stretch the toes, spread them wide and lower softly to the ground
3. Now we all know what a tripod is right! It's a 3 legged piece of equipment used for stablizing and supporting a camera. We are going to use this same principle to help us achieve a strong supportive base in mountain pose
4. Lets begin by pressing the big toes, the little toes and the heels firmly into the ground. This forms the tripod, the strong base for mountain pose
5. Alright so now we are going to gently rock back and forth—heels to toes, heels to toes
6. Come back to starting position, visualise your tripod and adjust your feet so that your weight is evenly distributed thru both feet
7. Lift the inside arches and press the outsides of the feet into the floor
8. Come back to starting position, visualise your tripod and have your weight evenly distributed thru both feet
9. Become familiar with how that feels
10. Lift the 3 arches, the inside arches, the outside arches and the arches across the broad part of your feet
11. To make sure we are not dropping thru the inside arches, activate the adductor muscles, this automatically lifts the inside arches
12. Moving up the legs to the knees, gently lift the knees by activating the thigh muscles or quads
13. Now focusing on lifting the front of the hips, gently lower the tail bone
14. An easy way to achieve the best position is to first of all place one hand on our belly just below the belly button and the other on the lower back. Visualise having tail feathers and sticking out those tail feathers – next we want to visualise a dog with it's tail between it's legs and imitate by tucking the pelvis under. The best position is somewhere in between those two extremes. Experiment and feel what's most comfortable for you
15. Next, lengthening the spine and lifting up thru the sternum. Broadening thru the lungs and rib cage. Be aware that we don't want the ribs to stick out, so draw them back towards the spine. Soften and lower the shoulders
16. Rotate thru the shoulders, moving the arms away from the body palms facing forward. Extend and lengthen the fingers. Relax the arms bring them back to your sides with the thumbs facing forward. Keep the shoulders soft. Think about the shoulder blades releasing downwards towards your waist
17. Gently lengthen the back of the neck, and lower the chin down to a neutral postition, with the chin relaxed
18. Draw up through the crown of the head, imagine a string running up thru your spine and out the top of your head, softly lengthening and opening up the body growing tall

Benefits:

Improves posture, reduces flat feet, relaxing, helps fallen arches, improves circulation, improves lung capacity

Variations:

1. Can be done with eyes closed for a more focused inward experience and to improve balance
2. Can raise the arms chest height interlock fingers and raise arms over head pressing palms towards the ceiling.
3. Bring arms behind, bend at the elbow, opposite hand on opposite elbow. Switch and hold for same amount of breaths

Variations and Modifications

1. Check your alignment against a wall. Stand with heels, sacrum and shoulder blades, but not the back of your head against the wall

Practise Mountain pose a couple times a day, this will help you to feel both grounded and relaxed.

See you next time

Yoga Meditation 4221- Holistic yoga | No dig garden / potatoes 3

Water generously but do not flood the area. In a couple of weeks, the tops will emerge through the straw. As they grow, keep topping them up with the enriched straw blend, making sure the young potatoes don't get exposed to sunlight. This can turn them green and make them slightly toxic.

When the potatoes flower, they are getting close to maturity. This will take about 14 - 16 weeks. When the plants have died off and gone dry and brown, it is time to pull back the mulched straw to reveal an abundant crop of large healthy potatoes. You will find a clean crop of potatoes with no dirt on them, and very little rinsing will be required before preparation in the kitchen.

Good luck, have fun and may your harvest be bountiful.

You can either take up the top layer of grass (which is what we did in our small no dig garden). Or just cover the earth with a thick layer of old newspapers, cardboard or both to prevent weed growth from occurring.

Note: Using newspapers may mean your crop is not truly organic. (Because of the ink). Again, the choice is yours, or just use a thicker layer of straw instead.

Spread a layer of composted material over the top of the newspaper or straw. Old dry lawn clippings or more straw can be used. Sprinkle a layer of worm castings in if you have some on hand. Place your potatoes or pieces of potatoes with eyes, directly onto the thick straw padding. Use crop straw or another straw which is cheap and readily available. Pull it apart and shake over the potatoes to protect them from light. One to two feet of straw is an ideal depth.

How To No Dig Potatoes

It's very easy to grow potatoes the no dig, organic way. They are a great source of vitamins, minerals and iron.

Just like most fruits and veggies a lot of the goodness lies just beneath the surface of the skin, so try to keep some of the potato skin intact when preparing to cook.

Let's get growing!

When I was a kid my parents always had a huge organic garden with every veggie growing in it that you can imagine. We were always getting busted for eating the peas off the vine. My parents had a brick shed which housed many different varieties of seed potatoes as well as a slew of other root veggies from the previous seasons crop.

Nowadays of course you might find that situation out woop woop somewhere but us city folks will have to purchase some seed potatoes from a nursery. You can use potatoes from the supermarket, but seed potatoes will bring better yields. You can 'chit' them first (allowing them to start to grow) simply by placing them in a sunny spot, before planting.

All Blue - This is an heirloom potato that is blue inside and is absolutely stunning when cooked.

Yukon Gold - This is a smaller variety of potato with golden flesh, and a rich, buttery flavor.

Red Pontiac - This is a red-skinned variety that grows well in containers.

Fingerling - There are several varieties of small, finger-shaped potatoes that grow well in containers.

It is important to keep potatoes well watered on a very regular basis. If you allow the potatoes to get too dry, then add a lot of water, then let them dry again, you will end up with disfigured potatoes that look lumpy and will have a very poor texture when cooked. Remember to keep them watered consistently.

The first potatoes will be ready to harvest in around two months. If the plants start to flower, it's time to start harvesting. Some varieties won't make flowers at all, so don't count on this to happen, but if you do see flowers, you know it's definitely time.

To harvest potatoes, simply dig around in the soil with your hands, feeling the size of each potato you encounter. If it is the size you want, pull it up. Otherwise, leave it alone and it will continue to grow. Each plant should produce about 2 to 4 pounds of potatoes, depending on the variety.

I recommend using 20 gallon plastic garbage cans or large plastic storage tubs to grow potatoes in. You can also use very large pots or buckets, but garbage cans and storage tubs can be covered to store the soil in for the next year. Simply take your plastic garbage can or tub and drill several holes in the bottom for drainage. Then fill the container about one third full with your potting soil mix.

Put your potato sprouts on top of the soil, spaced approximately 6 inches apart, and at least 4 inches away from the sides of the container. Then cover the sprouts with about two inches of potting soil. When the plants reach about 6 inches in height, add another two or three inches of potting mix, covering the lower leaves of the plants. Every time the plants reach a height of six inches above the soil, add another two to three inches of soil. When the soil reaches about 1 to 2 inches from the top of the container, you can stop adding soil, but mound the soil up around the base of each plant.

Seed potatoes are not actually seeds. Potatoes do not have seeds. They are actually specially grown miniature tubers that have been grown in controlled conditions to minimize the chance of disease. You should try to buy certified disease-free seed potatoes when possible.

Seed potatoes should be presprouted. Simply place the seed potatoes in a shallow tray and put the tray into a warm, sunny spot. Then spray them with some water or liquid seaweed. It should be about two weeks before sprouts form. When they are about an inch tall, you can plant them.

In order to get the best yield from your potato plants, you need to make sure that the stems grow to a good length. Hilling is traditionally used to aid in elongating the stems. In hilling, you plant your potato sprouts in a trench, gradually filling the trench with more soil as the stems grow. You can easily do this in your containers.

More on Potatoes

Growing Potatoes In Containers

Growing potatoes in containers may not make a lot of sense unless you want to grow varieties that are hard to find or are particularly expensive. Growing your standard russet potatoes or giant baking potatoes is probably going to be a waste of space, although it might be fun. But if you are like me, you want to make the most efficient use of the space you have available.

Potatoes reproduce through the eyes on potatoes. You've no doubt seen these sprouts on potatoes that have been sitting for too long in your cupboards. The eyes shoot out sprouts, and when you plant these sprouts, you can grow potatoes.

It is NOT recommended that you do this, however. Potatoes that are found in supermarkets are typically treated with chemicals to inhibit sprouting. They do not typically grow very well when planted, and might poison the soil if you try to grow something else in it later. You should grow your potatoes from what is known as seed potatoes.

Yoga meditation 4221 - Kindness and Charity - Material and Spiritual.

noreply@blogger.com (holistic yoga meditation life 4221 palm beach qld) — Fri, 29 Jul 2011 22:53:00 +0000

There are many kind people in this world who are engaged in acts of charity, building hospitals, helping the elderly, supporting abused children, homeless teens, running soup kitchens and so on.

The heart of man can be very generous, caring and charitable. We feel 'good' when serving others in this way, we are engaging in philantropic activities, selfless works and this is indeed very good for all those involved.

The kind men of this world try to help alleviate material suffering as much as possible, but we must remember that although we are temporarily residing in a body, we are not just a body, but rather 'WE' are spirit in essence. Therefore it is vitally important that we nurture and nourish the spirit also. A simple and enjoyable spiritual solution is provided to us via the kindness of spiritual doctors or masters. By taking the prescribed medicine we are able to revive our dormant but natural spiritual awareness.

If a person wanted to add a spiritual component in with their charitable mix they could do so very easily. How is this possible you might ask. This simple but vital spiritual addition to ones life is made possible due to the blessings of perfect masters who are expert spiritual physicians. They offer us the perfect solution to the woes and suffering not only for mankind but ALL living beings.

Their spiritual medicine bag contains transcendental or spiritual sound vibrations also known as yoga mantras. Spiritual sound comes from the spiritual realm. To our ears these yoga mantras might seem like ordinary sounds, the difference being that these sounds carry with it a potency that is not present in material sound. This potency is the ability to touch and purify the heart of every living being. Within every living body is a spirit soul. When a spirit soul comes into contact with spiritual sound that person is benefitted regardless of the body they are in.

" To expose ourselves and others to spiritual sound vibrations truly is the ultimate in humanitarian effort. Without discrimination or exception everyone benefits".

Spiritual doctors are mankind and all living beings best friend, by following their loving guidance we can become free. Free from the shackles of the mind and senses. Free from the wheel of samsara. They hand us the keys to another world, the world from which we came. They re-introduce us to our Supreme best friend who is with us eternally, seated within our hearts.

They help us to remember what real love is, what real happiness is and what REAL life and living is all about.

Due to the kindness and blessings of our spiritual doctors we are able to finally find our way back home.

noreply@blogger.com (holistic yoga meditation life 4221 palm beach qld) — Thu, 02 Jun 2011 00:35:00 +0000

The parasympathetic is the part of your nervous system that slows you down, it’s responsible for telling your muscles to relax, improving your digestion and assimilation, boosting immunity, and helping you sleep better.The parasympathetic nervous system counteracts many stress-related symptoms and the negative by products of life in this world. Hatha Yoga increases the flow of prana, or life force, in your body.

Nadi Shodan (Alternate Nostril Breathing)

How can the breath stimulate the sympathetic nervous system?

If we practice breathing while gently focusing on the breath held out, this stimulates the sympathetic nervous system and increases the heart rate. Studies have also shown that when we breath through the right nostril this also stimulates the sympathetic nervous system, which helps increase body heat, oxygen consumption blood pressure and heart rate. The left cerebral hemisphere is also stimulated.

It was a very warm day in March, when the almost full moon was already shining bright in the sky.

The sun had set but there was still enough light left to take an early evening walk to the beach.

As I crossed the concrete walk / bike way which runs along the beachfront at Kingscliff, a young girl (maybe around 8 years old) called out as she briskly went by on her bike, "isn't it wonderful that the bike was invented,"

I smiled and continued on my way to the beach. The moonlight shone on the waves as they broke gently on the shore.

There was a refreshing breeze coming off the ocean and as I sat just near the water's edge to meditate with my prayer beads,

I thought; "Isn't it wonderful that God has invented all this and that He has allowed us to be part of it all".

Yoga meditation 4221 - Why I Like To Practise Holistic Yoga Meditation

noreply@blogger.com (holistic yoga meditation life 4221 palm beach qld) — Wed, 04 May 2011 06:59:00 +0000

I started meditation about 30 years ago and have found the benefits to be life changing. I thought i was having lots of fun in my life before meditation but life has gotten so much better.

The Meditation has given me so much more than i could have ever imagined. It has given me direction, clarity and an inner peace. It helps me deal with any problems that come up through out the day with lightness and ease, instead of becoming bogged down with anxiety and stress. Stress is still there, we can't get away from that because the fact is this world is stressful, but my daily practise of meditation helps me try to cope with any and all situations with some degree of grace . I am very thankful for having had the
opportunity to learn this meditation. I especially enjoy being able to share and pass it on to my friends.
