Guest guest Posted June 14, 2002 Report Share Posted June 14, 2002 To my dear spiritual companions, SHASHANKASAN (HARE POSE) THE SPINE IS TO BE BENT FORWARD.THIS ASAN PROVIDES COMPLETE RELIEF TO THE BODY. THE SPINE WHEN BROUGHT PARALLEL TO THE EARTH GETS COMPLETE REST. LIVER, SPLEEN & STOMACH WHEN PRESSED ARE ACTIVATED. THE CAPACITY TO BREATHE OR PERFORM PRANAYAM UPTO THE ABDOMEN INCREASES IT IS HIGHLY USEFUL TO ASTHAMATIC PATIENTS. THIS ASAN IS MOST EFFECTIVE IN ALLEVIATING ALL TYPES OF ANGER & EMOTIONAL INSTABILITY. TECHINQUE:- SIT DOWN IN VAJRASAN.KEEP THE WAIST & NECK ERECT.INHALE SLOWLY BUT DEEPLY & WHILE INHALING RAISE THA ARMS TOGETHER OVER THE HEAD AS HIGH AS POSSIBLE, STRETCHED & CLOSE TO THE EARS.EXHALING SLOWLY STRETCHING THE HANDS BEND FORWARD WITHOUT RAISING THE BUTTOCKS.NOW RELAX THE ARMS TILL THE ELBOWS REST ON THE FLOOR.THE FOREHEAD MAY ALSO TOUCH THE GROUND.BREATHE NORMALLY.MAINTAIN THIS POSTURE FOR A WHILE.WHILE INHALING STRETCH THE ARMS AND RETURN SLOWLY TO THE VAJRA POSITION. POINT OF CONCENTRATION:- AGYA CHAKRA. THING TO REMEMBER:- DO NOT ALLOW THE BUTTOCKS TO COME OFF THEIR POSITION BETWEEN THE HEELS. ONE CAN ALSO DO USHTRASAN ALONG WITH IT TO GET COMPLETE BENEFIT.
