Alcohol - a Social Evil

September 15, 2022 | Labels: , , , , , , , , , , ,

 

The effects of alcohol can be broadly categorized as:

Personal level 

This would include physiological and psychological problems associated with alcoholism

Family level

The family members of the alcoholic become victims of alcohol themselves as the irrational erratic behavior of the alcoholic emotionally affects them especially the wife and children. They get caught in a situation where they are completely lost - living with a stranger. I would like to call the alcoholic a stranger as he is a stranger to the feelings and emotions of his own people. He isn't bothered about what they want and what they expect. It also affects the budget of the family. The entire setup of family breaks. Despite poverty in many cases the men or women addicted to alcohol spend all the money they have to get cheap liquor and end up in situations of violence, sexual harassment, unreasonable demands and ruining their children's lives.

Social level

The social effects of alcohol are but obvious. A person who cannot think on his own, who isn't himself, who does not belong to his family, who fails to bring up his children in the right manner and whose contribution to society is zero can definitely be termed as a burden on society.

Alcoholism has to be treated not only for the sake of the alcoholic but also for his family and society. There are various rehabilitation centres across the world where it can be treated. Awareness has to be created regarding the same. Proper medication, yoga, self-awareness and most important of all love and affection can help us in the long run in our fight against this social evil.

Bali is famous for all types of Yoga. There are many special classes for particular types of yoga. Among all kinds, Vinyasa Yoga is one of the famous types of Yoga. The word "Vinyasa" means the "Breathing System", implying that this Yoga type is related to our breathing system. In general, all the trainers say that without Vinyasa, don't do any asana. It simply means breathing movement, and all the types of Yogasana are assigned a particular number of Vinyasa.

In Bali, there are many retreats/Classes and Centers where this kind of Yoga is taught. Some of them are exclusively for this type of Yoga. Few of them are as below:

Benefits of Vinyasa Yoga:

Any Yoga is always good for health. But of all forms of Yoga, Vinyasa is the special one. It has both physical as well as mental benefits. If considering physical benefits, then in this yoga types, sweat expels the toxins and re-energizes the body. It is good for body development. If considering the mental benefits, then this yoga type relaxes the mind, refreshes the mind, and helps to remove or release any blockage of the energy flow within the body.

Bali - yes, of course - is a good place to start for Vinyasa Yoga. Through it, we can challenge our self. If due to some reason you don't like Vinyasa class, then don't quit with just first experience, try again. In Vinyasa, if somebody likes to focus on the body flowing movement and breathing power then one can enjoy this yoga type.

There are some expectations from the candidates joining Vinyasa Yoga classes. Teacher expects a slow movement while taking any posture. Also breathing through this process is slow. Vinyasa classes always include the Sun Salutations. One can say that this is a kind of dance with synchronized movements and breathing that fulfill our desire.

How To Use Yoga Nidra To Combat Night Terrors

September 07, 2022 | Labels: , , , , , , , , ,


Western physicians are now investigating a practice called Yoga Nidra, which means "yogic sleep." This Tantric method is an all-natural, holistic way to achieve uninterrupted, relaxed and healthy sleep each night. It may even be a successful treatment for those who Yoganidra experience night terrors and other serious sleep disturbances.

Night terrors is the name for a serious sleep disturbance. The families of those who experience night terrors are often frightened and confused. During an episode, a person is sleeping soundly one moment, then suddenly standing in the middle of the bed screaming or flailing about.

During night terrors, a person may look wild-eyed around the room, sweating and breathing heavily. They may cry inconsolably, scream in fear or run around the house. They remain sound asleep during the episode however, unaware of the commotion they cause.

Night terrors happen to only a small number of children and even fewer adults. While children usually outgrow night terrors, sometimes the problem continues into adulthood.

An Old Method May Combat Sleep Disorders

This Tantric method to promote restful sleep translates from the Sanskrit as yogic sleep. It is a highly developed system for promoting deep, full-body relaxation.

The relaxation technique involves 20 to 45 minutes of mental imagery guided by an experienced instructor. Eventually the subject reaches a deep meditative state. The yoga community believes this state will release negative emotions and patterns of thought, calming the nervous system and leading to sleep.

The practice also may work for the following conditions which can include disturbed sleep.

Insomnia

Depression

Anxiety

Chronic pain

Chemical dependency

Post-traumatic stress disorder


Why This System May Work for Sleep Disorders

The guided exercises focus a person's awareness on their entire body, following a special sequential order. This prescribed order follows a deliberate path that enables the greatest relaxation. Those who use the yogic system find that nightly practice helps them reach this relaxed state more easily.

Some Tantric masters reach an altered state of sleep called waking sleep. A deep trance is necessary to reach the state of waking sleep. While in the trance, the yogic master sleeps deeply and at the same time remains perfectly aware of the immediate surroundings. Legends say that one hour of waking sleep is the equal of several hours of normal sleep.

Trying Yogic Practice Might Help Anyone

There are no obvious safety risks as a result of using this yogic sleep method. The sessions are drug free, eliminating the chances of dangerous interactions or dependencies. Even children can safely use this system.

Those who experience night terrors or other sleep disturbances may wish to conduct a short trial, using this system for a few months. Local yoga studios might have experienced instructors who use the system's guided imagery techniques. If there are no local classes, several instructors have recorded sessions for online use. One can use CDs or digital recordings by a favorite guide each night at the bedside.

The Yoga Nidra practice is easy and safe for anyone, from a preschooler to a 100-year-old. Who knows? It just might work! Getting enough restful sleep each night is certainly worth giving this deep relaxation method a try.
