𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐄 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐍𝐀𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐀𝐋 𝐕𝐈𝐓𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐓𝐘 (𝐒𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐈𝐈 - 𝐍𝐨 𝐋𝐞𝐠𝐬 𝐍𝐨 𝐋𝐮𝐧𝐠𝐬): 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝟗 𝐨𝐟 𝟐𝟒 In this part, you will learn two simple, easy, but effective Thoppukaranam variations to: * Build powerful, flexible, and functional legs, which are very important for good breathing. When the Apana Vayu is strong and functions well, it attracts the Prana Vayu downward. This makes inhalation stronger and brings Prana into the lower abdomen, or Kanda area. * Increase attention and concentration, and enhance central neuronal processing, thereby speeding up reaction time. Lesson 9 practices can potentially induce healthy changes in neuroplasticity due to the crisscrossing of the hands to the opposite earlobe.

𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐄 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐍𝐀𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐀𝐋 𝐕𝐈𝐓𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐓𝐘 (𝐒𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐈𝐈 - 𝐍𝐨 𝐋𝐞𝐠𝐬 𝐍𝐨 𝐋𝐮𝐧𝐠𝐬): 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝟕 𝐨𝐟 𝟐𝟒 In this part, you will learn two simple, easy, but effective sequences to: * Increase the flexibility of the feet and ankles, and reduce the stiffness and rigidity of the toes. Inflexibility in the feet and ankles limits our ability to squat with heels on the floor, while rigid toes increase the risk of falling. By keeping our “roots” (toes, feet, ankles) healthy, open, and strong, we create a stable foundation that supports the vitality of the “tree” and ensures proper circulation of fluids in our body. * Vajra Asana corrects lordosis, enhances digestive power, and prevents or even remedies varicose veins. * Stimulate the base of the toes area, which is linked through reflex feedback to the cranial nerves. This energizes the cranial nerves essential for our senses, keeping us active and alert. * Stimulate the marma points in the feet related to stiffness, muscle spasms, breathing, and vision.

𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐄 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐍𝐀𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐀𝐋 𝐕𝐈𝐓𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐓𝐘 (𝐒𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐈𝐈 - 𝐍𝐨 𝐋𝐞𝐠𝐬 𝐍𝐨 𝐋𝐮𝐧𝐠𝐬): 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝟏𝟎 𝐨𝐟 𝟐𝟒 In this part, you will learn two new Thoppukaranam variations to: * Build powerful, flexible, and functional legs, which are crucial for good breathing and energy. You cannot bring Prana deep into the lower abdomen without strong legs. * Draw power from the feet and pull it up through the legs into the lower abdomen, the Kanda region. * Open and close the ribcage to deepen your breathing. Deep, slow, and even breathing is a prerequisite for vitality. * Potentially induce changes in neuro-plasticity. The crisscrossing of the arms and legs enables different parts of the sensory-motor homunculus to connect, as the neurons associated with respective areas across both hemispheres of the brain will be firing simultaneously. * Increase the awareness and connection with your feet and lower abdomen which helps you ‘get out of your head’ and become present.

Breathing deep and appreciating beauty is the first step of finding inner peace.

Today is World Meditation Day. A lovely opportunity to remember to slow down, pause and just be. We are so conditioned to always be busy and doing, let's give ourselves permission today to BE first, then DO second. I love this chant from Thich Nath Hahn - you might take 7 minutes to stop and listen and breathe https://lnkd.in/eDtcbsmH Or you might want to stop a while longer - 30 mins or so, and listen to a guided meditation on Insight Timer. Here's an example: https://lnkd.in/eTYNuppg... Whatever you choose, choose to just be in this moment, for just one moment. When you find your peace in that moment, you might want to choose to stay there. Happy World Meditation Day!
