Introduction
One common endocrine disease is diabetes. In this case the hormone insulin, which regulates the blood sugar, is influenced. The body is in trouble when blood sugar lev-els are de-stabilized, resulting in a number of problems. But hormones, and therefore hormonal-related diseas-es, can affect virtually any part of the body. Hormones regulate growth, mood, sleep, sexual function, and much more. The list of endocrine related diseases is quite lengthy! A study done in the US in 2009 tells us that at least 5% of the adult US population have a endocrine dis-ease, of which erectile dysfunction is the most common for men, while for women this is osteopenia/osteoporosis.
This booklet contains techniques to aid you in coping with and overcoming diseases of the endocrine system. These Nithya Kriyas are a series of healing yogic process-es revealed by renowned yogi and guru, Paramahamsa Nithyananda. The techniques are based in sacred yoga scriptures including the legendary Patanjali Yoga Sutras, as well as the three classic texts that form the base of yoga: Ha-tha Yoga Pradipika, Gheranda Samhita and Shiva Samhita.
According to yogic knowledge the cause of disease of the endocrine system is frequently of a mental nature, di-rectly or indirectly. In many of his discourses Nithyananda teaches that mental suffering such as fear and depression, are rooted deeply into our biomemory and cause health problems and diseases by lowering the immune system. The process of completion with past pain patterns is es-sential to overcoming the root causes for these diseas-es. When worry becomes a habit it can affect any part of the body, causing or contributing to a number of psy-chosomatic diseases, such as diabetes. This subtle inter-play between the body and mind is why it is so important that worry be addressed and removed from the system.
If an emotion is handled properly the corresponding chakra (energy hub in the body) functions well, expand-ing it to the size of even a cartwheel! If the emotion is not handled properly the corresponding chakra shrinks to the size of even a coat button, which causes low ener-gy in the system. This low energy ultimately manifests as disease in the mind-body system. Several factors includ-ing childhood problems, societal conditioning, improper habits, physical and emotional injuries, or even just lack of attention affect the energy flow through the chakras.
