Medi Yoga; reducing weight (weight loss management)
 


Obesity is the biggest disease in today’s modern world; the western society is totally covered with this problem. But now days in India it is a big disease in so-called higher society. The general conception of the causes of this disease is excess intake solid food. But reality is totally different. not only the cause of excess intake of solid form besides lack of exercises, life style disorder, stress, frustration, sensory over load and spiritual unawareness. They don’t know how much their sensory need is. Even they don’t know the difference between thirst and hunger. They eat when they thirst and they drink water when they get hungry.  (They eat instead of water and they drink instead meals). They don’t want to drink water, they prefer to take alcohol.
  Actually senses are diverted from their genuine path. They are not governing from their inner shelf; they are governing now from outer world or objects. That’s why they (senses) are not able to decide that what they should actually do. The whole balance of glands becomes abnormal also. After all metabolisms starts weak.
Another reason is: so called higher society has another big mental virus where they don’t want to do anything. They want everything but they don’t want to do anything. They want fitness not through the help of self effort but through the money. Money’s importance, they don’t know.  Because of only one thing running blindly behind the desire of unfulfilling needs.
Here I am providing you some solution which can help you to reduce excess physical and mental weight.

SHATKARMA (SIX   ACTIONS)
In  Hath  Yoga  Pradeepika,  a  quote says ;  when  fat  or  mucus  is   excessive,   the shatkarma  or  six   cleansing  techniques , should   be practiced   before  doing other exercises,   by  which  doshas (vata  ,pitta,  and  kapha)   are   balanced.  This technique would be  very effective  in  reducing  weight  instantly. That is why I have started
from shatkarma.

    The   word   shatkarma”   means six actions or six techniques of body purification
The goal of shatkarma   is attaining physical and mental purification as well as equilibrium. These techniques are used before other yogic and breathing exercises. SHOUCHA, i.e. internal   and external   cleansing,   is   an   important    part in   NIYAMA (step of  yoga ) -.  So   before we practice any asana, it is necessary to clean ourselves internally.
Here i am giving you two things: enema and kapalbhanti

BASTI   (ENEMA)
Enema   pot  , rubber  tube  ,nozzle,  tepid  water,  lemon are   the   requirements
Mix  juice  of one  or  two  lemons  in  tepid  water.  Fill  the   enema   pot  with water
Suspend   enema  pot   one  metre   above  .Apply  a  little  oil   or  vaseline  to   the 
nozzle  of  the  rectal  tube   .Before   insertion  ,check   the   rectal  tube  to   ensure   free  flow   of   water.  Insert  the  tube  into   the   rectum. The   flow  of  water  is adjusted  with  the  knob  attached  to  the  tube.    When   all  the   water   has   been    introduced,   remove  the  tube  and  resist  the  pressure for  a few  minutes. The  bowels   can  be   emptied   after a  while  for  better  cleansing. If  you  do not
wish   to   take  enema  in  the   lying  position,  you  can   take   it  in  the  standing
position.

SPECIAL   NOTE:
Enema  should   be  taken  after  going  to   toilet.   Salt  can  be   mixed in  water  instead   of   lemon   juice. You   can   use   plain   water  also.    Soap   should   be   mixed  in  water.
PRECAUTIONS:
In a   healthy   person,   enema   should   be   taken  once  in   a   week  or  in  a  month  It  can   be  taken  for  two  to  four  times   daily,  in  constipation.
Take    rest   for  half  an  hour   after   enema. Do  not  eat  anything  for  an  hour after   enema.
BENEFITS:
It   removes  constipation
It  cleanses the bowels.
It   is  beneficial  in  all  diseases  of  stomach.
KAPALBHATI:
Kapalbhati  is  a  technique  of   pranayama  that   purifies  the   intellect.  KAPAL   in Sanskrit   means  skull  and   BHATI   means  to  shine.  Kapalbhati  makes  the  skull  shine.  Hence, this   pranayama is  known  as  kapalbhati. This   pranayama  
is considered  as   one  of  the  shat   kriyas-  six  cleansing   processes.  It  is also counted as  a  very  important   pranayama.
ACCORDING   TO  Hath Yog Pradeepika   
Meaning: forcible   expulsion   of  breath   through  the   nose   and   its   retention   is   Kapalbhati.
It  seems  that  this  sutra  gives  us  many   hints  about  kapalbhati pranayama   and   its   technique.  When we   practice  this   pranayama  with   devotion  and   dedication, the 
magnetic power   of   Apana  Vayu  starts   ascending  from  the    mid   of  the   spinal   cord  towards   the  skull  and  purifies  the   cerebellum   part  of   the   brain  .When   the   breath   is  expelled   out   with  greater   force,  this   purifies   the   cerebrum. Thus,
this    pranayama   is   instrumental    in  the  purification   of   the   entire   brain.
 BENEFITS:
Reducing excess weight very fast
It   flushes   out   the  accumulated  impure   residual   air in   the   lungs, which   cannot   be  expelled  by   normal    exhalation.
It   purifies   the   nostril   and   respiratory  system.
This  pranayama  has  an   unparallel  capacity  for   augmenting  the   power   of  memory and  thinking.
The   agitated    mind    becomes   calm and  quiet  with   regular    practice.

TECHNIQUE:
Sit    in   Padmasana .Place   the   palms  on  the  knees. Close  the  eyes   gently.  Keep  the spine   and  neck   straight.  Exhale  upto  the   maximum   capacity  , then   inhale 
upto   the    throat   through  the   nostrils  and  apply   mool bandh .Now  start  expelling the breath through the nostril with force. Repeat this for a number of times. Let there be a little pause between  the  successive  expulsions, so that  breath  is  automatically  inhaled and   capacity  for  successive forceful expulsions  is   maintained.

Simultaneously, with  a  forceful   exhalation   , contract  the  lower   abdomen   towards   the  spine   by   a  vigorous   inward   stroke  or   thrust of   abdominal    muscles.  Perform  this  according  to  the   capacity  . After  completing   the  last     round   ,  let   there  be   expiration  of  breath   to  the  maximum.
Practice   external   kumbhak  along   with   uddiyana   Bandh.   and   jalandhar   bandh.  Hold   the  breath  as   long  as  possible. On  returning  to  original   position,  first    release   the   uddiyana   bandh,  next   the  jalandhar   bandh  and   there   after  the  mool  bandh. Now  inhale   and  hold  the    breath   for   a few minutes  applying   bandhas   and   then   return to  position. Observe your  state of   mind    for    sometime
  In  the   beginning   have  15   expulsions   and   increase   them   gradually   every week.

CAUTION:
Heart   patient   and  those   suffering   from   High   Blood   Pressure   should   avoid 
Kapalbhati  Pranayama
