Controlling Stress
Stress is the wear and tear our body experiences and it diminishes our immune system. We, therefore, need to control it using effective holistic methods, says Acharya Vikrmaditya.
The benefits of yogasana,pranayama and dhyana include increased body awareness, release of muscular tension and better co-ordination between mind and body. It helps in better management of stress and ensure an overall feeling of well-being.
Symtoms of possible anxiety
Yoga to destress
The following breathing excercise done and dhyana, while listening to the sounds of the soothing 'Om' chant for 20 minutes on a regular basis, helps in overcoming stress.
The ancient yogis in India knew about the connection between breath and mind. Try to observe your breath and you will notice that when you are angry, your breath becomes disturbed. The same thing happens when you try to hold your breath for a long period.
The mind is very mysterious and almost impossible to take hold of. Therefore, the yogis had figured out how to use the connection between mind and breath. By controlling our breath, we influence the mind.
Pranayam, which is otherwise known as Pranayama, is a series of slow breathing practices in yogic traditions which is being done for 30 minutes before doing a meditation. It clears the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual energies. Several researchers have reported that it develops a steady mind, strong will-power and sound judgment.

- Sit in any comfortable posture with head and spine straight and left hand in Gyan mudra (join tip of thumb and index finger)
- Close the left nostril with ring and little finger of right hand and inhale through right nostril. The breath should be slow, stready and fully.
- Then close the right nostril by pressing it gently with your thumb, and open your left nostril by relaxing your ring and little finger. Exhale fully, slowly and steadily.
- Now keeping the right nostril closed, inhale through the left; then close left and exhale through right.
- This completes one round (inhale through the right nostril, exhale through the left, and inhale through the left, exhale through the right).
