How 6 minutes can change your life…. FOREVER!!

 

By Arun Goel

 

I'm going to tell you about a SINGLE technique

that has helped thousands get over their blues and stress.

 

Its 2:00 pm, you are in the middle of work – well, chill out for

6 minutes. The 3-STEP routine that follows will DRAMATICALLY

improve your life!!

 

Sit erect but comfortably in your chair. Do it best by

pushing your hips right up till the backrest so that there is

no slouching. Rest your arms comfortably.

 

STEP 1: Stimulate relaxation (2 minutes)

Begin by rotating shoulders clockwise and then anticlockwise,

5 times each. Do it while your arms rest on the side.

Bend your head so as to try touching the shoulder. Do it on

each side (5 times each).

Bend your head forward and backwards alternately. In the

forward bend, press your chin against the neck.

 

Note: At all times, keep the neck erect. People with cervical

problems should avoid these neck exercises.

 

How this step works: These exercises ease the pressure on

the bunch of capillaries around the neck. This helps to ease

the blood flow into and out of the brain and stimulates

relaxation.

 

STEP 2: Breath observation (2 minutes)

Close your eyes and “unburden” your mind. Just “observe”

your breath. As you breathe NORMALLY, become aware

of the inhalation and the exhalation process.

 

Breath awareness works at a subconscious level where one

is made aware that all that exists is really breath – nothing

more and nothing less. This has a remarkable de-stressing

effect

 

STEP 3: Pranayama or Yogic breathing (2 minutes)

Close your eyes. Take GENTLE but DEEP breaths. While

inhaling, feel the air filling in – from the bottom (stomach)

and gradually upwards till the top of the lungs. Then, exhale

the same way letting the air get out, first from the top and

then towards the bottom. Repeat 10 times. Better done when

standing.

 

IMPORTANT: While inhaling feel that you are drinking in

fresh oxygen, happiness and light. While exhaling, feel that

you are letting out the negative emotions, toxins and waste.

 

This technique called AUTOSUGGESTION is one of the

most POWERFUL yet little known method of Yoga. When

done as told, it uses “self suggestion” to DRAMATICALLY

change the outlook to life. Pessimism is replaced with

optimism. Stress is replaced with an inexplicable calmness.

The feeling can only be experienced!!

 

Believe me, IT REALLY WORKS!!

 

Thats it !! You're done with your 6-minute yoga. Now for the

interesting part:

 

Do it regularly and tell me if you're NOT addicted to it. I

guarantee your delight, OR YOUR MONEY BACK – Er, I'm

not charging anything… so how about contributing

generously to the Health and Yoga benevolent fund

 

Yours truly,

PS: Do your 6-minute yoga, religiously (Oops, I hope you

aren't an atheist) everyday - during work, at home or just

anytime, preferably when you're stressed. But do it

EVERYDAY!!

 

PPS: Its important that you keep those 6 minutes to

YOURSELF – no distractions, no preoccupations of the

mind. Just forget about everything while doing it.

Dear Sorabh,

>

The notion that anything can, or should, " change your life forever "

is to me, doubtful.

Firstly, the intention to change your life pretty much guarantees

that it will stay the same, maybe look different, but be the same.

This may take some time to find out.

Secondly, the six minutes bit is a worry also.

It panders to the " do everything yesterday " and " do it perfectly "

philosophy so prevalent in today's world. This attitude defeats the

purpose of the exercises.

This reminds me of the western doctors who went to China 40 years ago

and came back saying that you could teach someone where to place the

acupuncture needles in five minutes. Forget that the acupuncture

master took 20 years practising before he was regarded as being

capable of doing it.

Life is an enquiry, without a time frame, not a place for six minute

techniques or five minute point locations, or so it seems to me.

But then, I've been wrong before.

Take care

Arjuna
