Introduction
Most of us would like to improve our physi-cal condition, whether it is weight loss, lifestyle and food habits, an addiction we'd like to over-come, or improvements to our current fitness level.
Nowadays, more than 1 billion people are overweight globally and this number is growing. Obesity is the most common cause of cardiovascular diseases, and increas-es the risk of high glood pressure, stroke, diabetes, cancer, osteoarthritis, sleep apnea, reproductive prob-lems, gallstones, and other life-threatening illnesses. This book contains yogic techniques revealed by renowned yogi and guru, Paramahamsa Nithyananda. Every pro-cess is designed to help us to become powerful agents for the change we desire in our lives. The techniques, such as Nithya Kriyas, are based in sacred yoga scriptures in-cluding 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 illness and 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 root-ed deeply into our biomemory and cause health prob-lems and diseases by lowering the immune system. Ex-cessive worry can affect any part of the body and cause 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 in a healthy way by expanding in size as energy flows to the chakra. Chakras reduce in size when emotions are not handled proper-ly due to low energy flow to the chakra, which can mani-fest as disease in the mind-body system. Attention-need, childhood trauma, societal conditioning, unhealthy habits, and emotional injuries all contribute to lack of energy-flow to the chakras. Completion\* with past pain patterns is es-sential to overcoming the root causes for these diseases.
