Yoga for Respiratory Disorder




Simha Garaja
The Roaring Lion, is a great technique to bring emotional balance, and it also heals the lungs and respiratory system. It also harmonizes the Thyroid gland. Emotions trapped within the anahat chakra are released when Simha Graja is performed. Emotions and stress are the main cause for respiratory disorders. These may be due to the persons current life situation or even emotions and desires from their past lives. Performing this over a period of time results in the release of the emotions past and present. It also makes the person more expressive and confident. It also calms the nerves and relaxes the body and mind.

Naadi Shodan / Anulom- Vilom
This is a pranayama to balance the Ida and Pingala Naadis. The Lunar and Solar energies/currents of our body. It brings a balance and health the the left and right hemispheres of the brain, the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems, it heals the lungs and improves the body's capacity to breathe and optimizes the lungs ability to enrich the body with oxygen. Leads to balance of all solar and lunar activities of the body and mind, eventually opening the passage for Sushumna Nadi.

Bhramari
The buzzing bee is an instant stress buster. It calms and stills the mind, body, emotion and spirit. It opens the doorway to tranquility and calm. It is a great practice for heart patients as well. It is also a great technique for insomnia especially if performed before sleep. It also enriches the pineal gland and balances Pirtuatary function in the body. Spiritually, if perfected, it can lead you to Shunya and the realization of the Naad or the cosmic sound/vibration. It takes one to higher state of one's consciousness.
