Mind/Body Benefits🔗

It is said that a daily practice of surya namaskar comprising a complete set of twelve repetitions is enough to reap enormous benefits. Nothing else needs to be done.

The surya namaskar is so designed that it works on all body parts, every organ, every system, and every chakra. It is a moving set of postures done dynamically with the appropriate breathing. Of all the asana practice, the surya namaskar is considered the most effective way to limber up, tone, stretch and strengthen the entire body and the spine. Surya namaskar is regarded as the king of asana. It is also the quickest way of touching base with our core inner strength.

One may consider focusing on the different chakra as a spiritual practice. However, focusing on and energizing the chakra can provide amazing benefits in the practitioners overall health and well being. Modern day science has proven that the seven major chakra correspond to the certain major organs and endocrine glands in the physical body.

Paramahamsa Nithyananda says that all of our diseases are actually psychosomatic. Meaning, our disease stems from negativity and disturbances in the mind.

When the different chakra are blocked by negative thoughts and emotions, it can in turn affect the functioning of the corresponding organ, gland or bodily region and consequently, disease and physical ailments can manifest.

By flooding awareness and positivity into the different chakra, not only do we benefit spiritually, we start to enjoy and experience optimum health, well being and freedom from depression and illness.

The regular practice of Surya Namaskar will allow tremendous healing to happen in us. The heat generated by this practice elevates the metabolic rate, boosts the immune system and helps breakdown the energy clots, the engraved memories or samskaras. They are expelled as toxins from our system. Deep cleansing and energizing of our inner space happens.
