Guest guest Posted May 30, 2002 Report Share Posted May 30, 2002 Hi all, Does anyone know of any simple KY kriyas or single KY asanas that will help with depression. I know of a couple in Gurmukh's book, "The 8 human talents." Any others would be very helpful. Thank You...

Guest guest Posted May 31, 2002 Report Share Posted May 31, 2002 Sat Nam!, I have this 15 minutes routine that really lifts me up when I need it: - Chant "Ek Ong Kar Satgurprasad, Satgurprasad Ek Ong Kar" 5 times. This changes the mind from negative to positive. - 5 minutes of breath of fire, gives you some energy (fire) to get you going. - 7 (or more) minutes of "Wahe guru, wahe jio" while concentrating on the 7th chakra. Works every time Also some yoga-humor might help: Mahatma Gandhi was a revered yogi, and chose to live rugged and ascetic lifestyle. He often went barefoot and as a result, developed calloused feet. He ate a sparing vegetarian diet, including many beans, and developed bad breath. He also went on a number of fasts, which caused him to become somewhat weak. He was a "Super-calloused fragile mystic with extra halitosis".

Guest guest Posted May 31, 2002 Report Share Posted May 31, 2002 It is the upward moving pranas (I forget the correct term) that really relieve depression. So working the pranas from the throat, circulating them in the head and out the crown chakra is what relieves depression. So look for sets that sort of fit into that schema, which is sort of what Henno is doing. There is an exercise for working the pranas directly in the aforementioned manner. I will look for it and then post it later. Seva Simran Singh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 31, 2002 Report Share Posted May 31, 2002 just a thought: back bending postures are helpful for combatting depression, so perhaps any kriyas that contain poses like camel or cobra would be nice to practice. be happy! elle _______________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp.

Guest guest Posted May 31, 2002 Report Share Posted May 31, 2002 Bad for depression in a vata type, however, because most backbends increase vata.
