 Do you know someone who spends a lot of time at the computer, or who is stooped over a desk for long periods, stuck behind a steering wheel, or doing intricate tasks crouched over a bench-top? If so, this posture called Bhujangasan is very helpful in relieving tension from upper back muscles and the thoracic spine.
Bhujangasan yoga posture resembles a Cobra and in the practice of this asana there should be minimum weight on the hands. It is important that the thoracic spine is stretched and the back evenly arched. Bhujangasan does wonders to keep the spine flexible. The yoga scriptures also declare it helpful in relieving digestive complaints, menstrual congestion and that it may improve kidney function. On an emotional level, the practice of Bhujangasan is said to soothe aggression and irritability. |

 Researchers analyzed the diets of 38,094 Dutch participants from the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) study and found that for every 5 percent of calories consumed from protein instead of carbohydrate or fat, the risk of developing diabetes increased 30 percent. Increased animal protein intake coincided with increased intakes of saturated fat, cholesterol, and heme iron, and with increased body mass index, waist circumference, and blood pressure. Vegetable protein intake was not associated with diabetes risk. Source article

 Walking Meditation is a wonderful technique to nurture physical, mental and spiritual wellbeing. Practiced in a beautiful outdoor setting where the air is fresh and clean, it is wholly rejuvenating, yet the technique can also be practiced inside as well. There can be a number of intentions applied to the practice of Walking Meditation. It can be as simple as ... taking a walk to oxygenate the body and refresh the mind. At the same time there is the opportunity to reflect about what is taking place in life. Letting all anxiety and worries fall away with each step, allowing greater clarity to come as you gain distance from the usual mental clutter of the mind. On its own, this is very refreshing and is a welcome respite before plunging back into every day matters. |
