Defusing anger with yoga
January 5, 2009
For yogis, anger is an energy existing, like any other energy. Anger decreases naturally if we do not hold it back. It arises, stays and then passes away. However, with the help of yoga asana, we can reduce anger and make our minds free from negative energy. Following are some asana to help.
Sarvang asana or the shoulder stand: This asana helps in reducing anger. It is also good for migraines, liver disorders, anemia, hypertension and indigestion.
Start by lying down on the floor with your hands and legs together. Now push down with your hands while inhaling, and raise your legs straight above you. Now, lift your hips from the floor and bring the legs straight above you. Exhale and push your back up with the support of the hands. Hold as near the shoulder as possible. Now straighten the spine and the legs should be vertical. Press your chin on the throat and breathe slowly in the pose. Keep the feet relaxed.
Remember not to perform this pose without the help of an instructor. If you are suffering from breathing problems or pain in the spine then don’t attempt this pose.
Ardha dhanurasana or the half bow: This pose provides strength and energy to the body. It also activates the kidneys and the reproductive system.
Lie down on your stomach with your legs apart by few inches. Get your chin to touch the floor and your right arm in front of you with the palm on the ground. Hold your left leg from the ankle with your left hand. Inhale and lift the leg with the arm and your head off the floor to make a half bow. Now lift your right arm from the floor and make it parallel to the floor. Breathe 5-6 times and hold the pose. Slowly exhale, release and relax. Repeat again with the other leg,
Avoid if there is any injury in the leg, neck or hands. Avoid if pregnant.
Gupta padmasana or hidden lotus pose: Corrects the posture of the spine and is used for relaxation, peace, stability and emotional balance.
Sit in padmasana. Lean on your arms by placing your hands on the ground. Raise your hips and stand on your knees. Now slowly lower the front of the body on the floor so that your chin touches the ground. Put your arms on your back and the fingers in either upward or downward position. Shut your eyes and relax. Now return to the first position and cross your legs the other way and repeat. Hold the pose till you can easily hold.
Remember, all these poses should be performed while breathing quietly.
