In this issue, I'm going to tell you about a
SINGLE technique that has helped thousands get over their blues
and stress. As a valued subscriber, I couldn’t wait to share
it with you. Its 2:00 pm, you are in the
middle of work - well, chill out for 6 minutes. The 3-STEP
routine that follows will DRAMATICALLY improve your life!!
Sit erect but comfortably in your chair. Do it best by pushing
your hips right up till the backrest so that there is no
slouching. Rest your arms comfortably.
STEP 1 : Stimulate relaxation (2 minutes)
Begin by rotating shoulders clockwise and then anticlockwise, 5
times each. Do it while your arms rest on the side.
Then, bend your head so as to try touching the shoulder. Do
it on each side (5 times each).
Bend your head forward and backwards alternately. In the
forward bend, press your chin against the neck.
Note:
At all times, keep the neck erect. People with cervical
problems should avoid these exercises.
These exercises
ease the pressure on the bunch of capillaries around the neck.
This helps to ease the blood flow into and out of the brain and
stimulates relaxation. STEP 2 : Breath
observation (2 minutes) Close your eyes and
"unburden" your mind. Just "observe" your breath. As you breathe
NORMALLY, become aware of the inhalation and the exhalation
process.
Breath awareness works at a subconscious level where one is made
aware that all that exists is really breath - nothing more and
nothing less. This has a remarkable de-stressing effect
STEP 3 : Pranayama or Yogic breathing (2 minutes)
Close your eyes. Take GENTLE but DEEP
breaths. While inhaling, feel the air filling in - from the
bottom (stomach) and gradually upwards till the top of the
lungs. Then, exhale - letting the air get out, first from the
top and then towards the bottom. Repeat 10 times. Better done
while standing.
IMPORTANT: While inhaling feel that you are
drinking in fresh oxygen, happiness and light. While exhaling,
feel that you are letting out the negative emotions, toxins and
waste.
This technique
called AUTOSUGGESTION is one of the most POWERFUL yet little
known method of Yoga. It uses "self suggestion" to
DRAMATICALLY change the outlook to life. Pessimism is replaced
with optimism. Stress is replaced with an inexplicable calmness.
The feeling can only be experienced!! Believe me, it really
works!
That's it !! You're done with your 6
minute yoga. Now for the interesting part:
Do it regularly and tell me if you're NOT addicted to it. I
guarantee your delight, OR YOUR MONEY BACK - Er, I'm not
charging anything.....
....so how about contributing generously to
the Health and Yoga benevolent fund :)
Yours truly,
Sheila PS: Do your 6-minute yoga,
religiously (Oops, I hope you aren't an atheist) everyday -
during work, at home or just anytime, preferably when you're
stressed. But do it EVERYDAY!!
PPS: Its important that you keep those 6
minutes to YOURSELF - no distractions, no preoccupations of the
mind. Just forget about everything while doing it.
In this issue, I’m going to tell you of a
power-breathing technique that is proven to help overcome blues,
negativity, stress, depression – all, in a minute!!
