The Yoga rules

By Rohit Tomar

Today's education system is highly stressful. And under stress, not only does the brain not function well, but children should be made to relax and improve their memory so that they do well. A relaxed brain leads to deeper insight. It is a well-known fact that Newton and Archimedes made their famous discoveries while they were relaxing, the former in a garden and the latter, in the bathtub. But in today's world, recreation alone cannot eliminate stress completely. The following yogic techniques improve memory, while providing the necessary rest to the brain tissues.

Sambhavi mudra:This position leads to the production of alpha brain waves immediately,indicating a relaxed mind. It can be practiced any time and in any position.

1 Roll the eyes up and cross them,look at the mid point of the two eyebrows.

2 Maintain the position of the eyes for a comfortable duration. Do not strain the eyes too much

Trataka:This is a form of meditation that de-stresses the mind.

1 Sit down in cross-legged posture, keeping the back straight.

2 Place a lighted candle in front of you at an arm's distance.

3 Close your eyes and still your body.

4 Concentrate on your natural breath for 2-3 minutes.

5 Open your eyes and look at the brightest spot in the candle flame.

6 Gaze steadily without blinking for 2-3 minutes(close your eyes before they start to water).

7 You will see the after image before the closed eyes.Concentrate on that image till it fades.

8 Open your eyes.This is one round. Practice three times.To rest the tired eyes,rub palms till they are warm and place them on your closed eyes for 8-10 seconds.

This should not be done for more than a month at a stretch,to protect the delicate retina.Some object such as a black dot, a flower or God's image can be used alternately.
