This technique is suitable for the treatment of:

  • Alcohol dependence
  • Tobacco addiction
  • Drug dependence
  • Dependence on computer games
  • Addicted to sex




EXERCISES

Many people exercises take the form of competition or extreme physical activities. However, it is clear that in the case when any kind of addiction has broken the equilibrium of the mental and physical system of man, about it not talking.

If drugs, alcohol or unhealthy eating habits have led You to a sedentary lifestyle, You might want to train in such a way as not to expose your body sudden or excessive loads. If you have to work for wear, moderate exercise also will be very useful.

Treat the exercises as an opportunity of understanding. Moving your body, listen to arise in all parts of the sensations and learn to interpret them. What can you learn about yourself as a physical and emotional side? If you are for some time was prone to addiction, you may know that have completely lost form. Perhaps you will also understand that you want too early to stop the exercise or continue it too long. This understanding is no less important than that due to exercise happens to your muscles and tendons. Understanding begins with the renewal of your communication with your physical essence — of communication, which may have long been interrupted due to generated by these or other bad habits Vata imbalance.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

Starting to do a training program, please refer to the following three principles. They will be useful to you and when you gain some experience. These principles are quite different from the competition-oriented work ethic normally associated with training in the West, but they are the basis of Ayurvedic ideas on how to use the body to strengthen the spirit.

Train no more than half its capacity. Most people are worried, not giving yourself adequate load, but excessive load is no better than insufficient. Even if you're some time didn't train came to a physical classroom, you can very accurately assess the margin of safety.

If, for example, swim five laps, you feel that if necessary will be able to swim twenty — do not swim more than ten rounds. Remember that the goal of training is not to bring themselves to exhaustion, but to become more vigorous and hardy. As your physical qualities will improve your level of half of the margin will naturally increase. So following the principle of fifty percent" in no way prevents your output at high levels of efficiency.

Try to exercise daily. If you don't want to train, if you practice three or four days in a row, you feel exhausted, you probably crossed the fifty percent limit. Training program of any duration should be such as to give pleasure and to increase motivation. Replacing the principle of "without suffering there is no progress" to "low voltage, high achievements," you will be able to extract from exercise the benefit of not depleting their energy resources.

Use as an indicator of intensity of training your breath and sweating. If you find that performing exercises, you have to breathe through the mouth, it's another indication that you are overloaded. Convulsive breathing and intense sweating mean that you are putting their body too much stress. The frequency of your breathing — one of the best indicators of the effectiveness of the exercise. If you breathe steadily and deeply, without straining, so you work at the proper level.

EXERCISES

Ayurveda teaches that each person is unique, and the truth of this situation is particularly evident when it came to training. Similarly, how can there not be equally good for all prescription drug, there is a training program that is suitable to everyone. However, there are certain principles of training that can be linked with three main mental-bodily types.

People Kapha type, generally speaking, useful, intense workout with a very serious load. With their bulky and muscular body type, Kapha individuals should not take the concessions and to resist their inherent tendency to a sedentary lifestyle. People of Pitta type, on the contrary, tend to demand from my body too much. If your dominant dosha is Pitta, you should Orient yourself in relaxation exercises, recreational rather than the competitive plan. For people of Vata type is best suited for light workouts — this is especially important given the fact that addictive behavior almost always creates Vata imbalance, regardless of natural dosha-type people.

Among the Vata-balancing types of activities can be called a short Hiking, light aerobics, and Cycling, but it is best in this respect, perhaps, yoga exercises. Despite the fact that many people associate Yoga with acrobatic poses, trances and all sorts of asceticism, it is, generally speaking, misleading. In Sanskrit the word "Yoga" means "Union" and its true aim is to unite the body, mind and spirit.

Yogic exercises are of course useful for the muscles and cardiovascular system, but they also contribute to relieving the concerns and focus of consciousness. These qualities make Yoga particularly effective in calming the Wool.

Since Vata is associated with the elements air and ether, it calming is achieved through exercise, creating a "grounding" effect due to the inclination of the body to its center or head to the ground. These poses should be taken slowly, without strain. As with all yoga exercises, you need to remember that proper breathing is important no less of the poses. Try to breathe through the nose, deeply and rhythmically. Create at home with the help of breath is the feeling of balance, tranquility and inner strength.
