Against sniffing - the most effective yoga exercises Part 2

How blown away

Wind is an element that fascinates yogis. They call it VAYU - meaning all aspects of life energy PRANA , which is active in our body. In the imagination of the yogis it is this wind, which, for example, arouses our "digestive fire" and also keeps all other metabolic processes in motion. The wind inspires us inwardly, but also mentally. For he blows everything around, even that which has long been frozen in us. In doing so, he is also reviving processes that have stalled. Wind moves, whirls up and keeps us on our toes - wonderful.

But the wind can also make us fidgety and nervous when our lives are already agitated and agitated. If it storms and winds in such phases - in front of the door or in its own interior - Then we need stability and stability , so that the wind does not blow us away.

Our exercises adapt to both faces of the wind: you can either go with the wind, use your strength and blow away what you are weighing with a strong breath. Or you can learn to resist the pressure and feel like a lighthouse in the roaring sea.

Like sailing an albatross

Come into a stable stand: place your feet around shoulder-width, and twist a little bit outwards. Feel the inner axis, which pulls like a solder from the vertex through the body. Spread your arms out to shoulder height. Stretch them far over the fingertips into the room, like an albatros spreading its wings. Rotate around the vertical axis: Breathe in the rotation and return to the imaginary center line. Feel the air under your arms, and sail like an albatross on the wind ... Continue for 1-3 minutes. Then, let the arms sink, twist the feet closer together, and trace them.

Discarding what is complaining

Place the feet wide , and be sure to have some space around you. Lift both arms stretched to the upper right. Look up at your hands, and breathe deeply. Let your arms fly upwards to the left and look behind the hands. Breathe through the mouth with the sound "Ha!" out. Swing back and forth with your arms, breathing deeply through the nose. Give this movement so much energy as if you wanted to hurl everything behind you or to the side. Continue with this movement for 1-2 minutes, allowing them to become more powerful and energetic. Then, for a moment, trace them in the stand, and watch,

The tree in the wind

The mountain in the sun

Stay standing. Rotate your palms forward and spread your fingers. Think of each hand as a small sun. Every finger is a sunbeam, and the sun in every palm of the hand radiates far into the space around them. Linger that way. Breathe peacefully in and out, and feel the wind and weather to activate and revive without you having to give up your inner peace and strength.
