The musculoskeletal (MSK) system is responsible for a wide array of functions. These include stabilized movement of the body, supporting our posture and protecting our organs. Ad-ditionally, the skeletal system is responsible for the produc-tion of blood cells and the storage of calcium and phosphorus.
The Bone and Joint Decade, a US-based alliance against MSDs, tells us in a 2012 press release that MSK conditions affect over 1.7 billion people worldwide, and that they have 'the fourth greatest impact on the overall health of the world population.'
This booklet contains techniques to aid you in coping with, or the recovery of MSK conditions. These Nithya Kriyas are a series of healing yogic processes revealed by renowned yogi and guru, Paramahamsa Nithyanan-da. 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: Hatha Yoga Pradipika, Gheranda Samhita and Shiva Samhita.
According to yogic knowledge the cause of musculoketal disease is frequently of a mental nature, directly or indi-rectly. 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 essential to over-coming the root causes for these diseases. When worry becomes a habit it can affect any part of the body, caus-ing a number of psychosomatic diseases. 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.
