Guest guest Posted May 25, 2002 Report Share Posted May 25, 2002 Dear Christa, Are there alternate positions in the nabhi kriya that woman can do during their period so as not to break > the 40 days? If not, are these exercises still ok to do? I would suggest doing two sets of 20 days with a break during your period. Women are not supposed to do heavy navel exercises during the moon cylce. It is a balance though because exercise of the pelvis, stimulating the ovaries, and other work in the lower chakras help balance the energy and relieve the tension. You have to find the right combination for you. But don't stress and strain. The moon cycle is a meditative time when women should lower, not raise their energy. Adding to a previous question on what women can do to avoid PMS. The camel pose is very good. This should be done everyday. I always get good reports from women who practice this daily. Also massage the ovaries everyday. > Also, the second set in this kriya shows that the arms are straight up with palms facing each other while both legs are lifted up and down. I simply can't do this exercise this way. My lower back kills me when I try. I've been doing this one as described, except that my > hands are placed under my hips to support my lower back. Is there a > problem with doing it this way? That's the way I do it. Sat Nam, Gururattan Kaur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 28, 2002 Report Share Posted May 28, 2002 Thank you for the advice. I began the Nabhi kriya again last night. I'll do two sets of 20 days like you suggest. I'm not familiar with the camel pose. How is that one done? Sat Nam Christa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 28, 2002 Report Share Posted May 28, 2002 SAt Nam, > I'm not familiar with the camel pose. How is that one done? Be on knees, reach back, hold on the ankles and press body up, lead head back, Breath of fire. I think you have some of my books, there are pictures in them. I am not much at describing poses.

Guest guest Posted May 29, 2002 Report Share Posted May 29, 2002 Sat Nam, I have a q on the camel pose, when I do this I find that a severe pain starts in my knees and I can't hold the pose for more than a few seconds, Anything you can suggest for me?

Guest guest Posted May 29, 2002 Report Share Posted May 29, 2002 Sat Nam Vandamnuk, Assuming you're doing camel correctly, you might try getting elastic knee wraps. My knees are sensitive to vajrasana (rock pose) so I wrap them and also use a towel or blanket rolled up, between the knee and the calf. Do you have knee problems (bad knees)? I also take Glucosamine and MSM which has helped mine alot. Blessings Brad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 29, 2002 Report Share Posted May 29, 2002 I would add one note to what Brad said. I also have a bad right knee. And I take a Glucosamine Chondroitan and MSM combination. At my doctor's recommendation I doubled the dosage for the first 45 days (to build up cartilage). Then I went to normal dosage daily. My knee was really bad before seeing the doctor. Your comment about not being able to hold a pose more than a few seconds struck a chord in me. When I would bend my legs (like going up steps) there was one angle that I had to move through quickly or I felt like my leg would give out. I could only hold weight there for a few seconds. If cartilege is a problem with your knees, this stuff really does work. My knee is 100% back to normal now. Christa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 29, 2002 Report Share Posted May 29, 2002 If you are not good at doing back bends camel pose can also be done with the hands on the ground behind your feet a little and after a while you will find that you can do camel pose the regular way (holding onto ther ankles or feet).

Guest guest Posted May 29, 2002 Report Share Posted May 29, 2002 Sat Nam Sonja MSM is a compound product. So the letters don't necessarily 'mean' anything but rather is the name of a product. Below is an excerpt from a nature site that sells combinations of herbs: Organic sulfur has been extremely successful for our customers in providing relief for joint and (fibromyalgia) muscle pain, indigestion and skin problems. We recommend taking between four and six grams per day. MSM works well with glucosomine to rebuild supportive tissue. MSM strengthens the synthesis of connective tissue and improves joint function. MSM neutralizes acidity in the blood. MSM has amazing healing properties for the skin. MSM works with vitamin C to support the elasticity of connective tissue compromised by arthritis. Methyl-Sulfonyl-Methane (MSM)is organic sulfur - bioavailable sulfur, a major antioxidant mineral found in the structural molecules of the body. It is utilized in the production of glycosaminoglycans/mucopolysaccharides such as CHONDROITIN SULFATE. MSM can be thought of as a body "lubricant". Sulfur enhances the structural integrity of connective tissue and joint cartilage for those suffering from joint pain and relieves muscular pain. Hope this explains it.

Guest guest Posted May 29, 2002 Report Share Posted May 29, 2002 Sorry, perhaps a "silly" question, but in USA people take more stuff, than we in Germany, what means MSM? Thank you so much for everything... Sonja 29.05.02 16:07:57, "spatialagent1" <spatialagent1 wrote: >I would add one note to what Brad said.

Guest guest Posted May 29, 2002 Report Share Posted May 29, 2002 Sat Nam Micha, " what means MSM?" Glucosamine and MSM both work because its made of the same thing your cartilidge is made of. It rebuilds and strengthens. And they work! Blessings Brad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 29, 2002 Report Share Posted May 29, 2002 Sat Nam If you are interested, MSM is methylsuffonylmethane. It is usually taken along with glucosaminesulphate for inflammation of the joints and related tissue. It works best if the appropriate homeopathic remedy is taken too - usually sulphur or rhus tox. And whoever it was that said Americans take way more "stuff" than Europeans.....that is certainly true. Partially I think because Americans do lots of things to excess -- good things and bad things -- and also because non-allopathic medicine is not very well integrated into the healthcare system and ones thinking like it is in Europe. Supplements are often treated as something to be consumed, rather than as medicine. Unfortunately, people sometimes take that attitude to their yoga practice as well.

Guest guest Posted May 30, 2002 Report Share Posted May 30, 2002 Thank you, dearest Seva Simran Singh, for this answer about MSM, perhaps I can find it here, I have the idea it could help my husband Micha, whose e-mail-adress I use in this group, some people are a little bit confused about it and call me Micha, instead of Sonja. I often tried to take my own adress, but it doesn't work,our Computer was totally confused and didn't work, - but we don't give up and I try it again, then I will and come back again with sonja Thank you to Dharam and Brad too Blessings to all in the group Sonja 29.05.02 23:07:29, mark terrell <mark.terrell wrote: >Sat Nam > >If you are interested, MSM is methylsuffonylmethane.
