The problem of stammering is cured by this practice. It relaxes mind and imparts us true knowledge. We encounter our being by this technique. It improves our aura. We learn to live in present. Om is the name of supreme God so by pronouncing it we invoke Brahma, Vishnu & Mahesh & adopt good qualities in us.

VAJRASANA

Method: Fold your legs in the reverse direction, sitting on your knees, with hips sticking out. The toes should be touching the ground, while the heel should be facing skyward. The thumbs of both the feet should be touching each other. Then, place both your palms on your thighs. Keep your waist, chest and neck in a straight line. Now, sit in this posture for a few minutes (begin with 2 minutes a day and increase as per your comfort). Breathe normally.

Benefits: This asana cures constipation. It also digests food easily. Yoga gurus say the posture is good for pregnant women to practice on for a normal delivery. The asana also improves blood circulation in the body.

Precaution: The asana is not advised for people suffering from severe rheumatism. Also, a new practitioner will feel some pain in the heel and the palate of the legs. After finishing the asana, Yoga gurus advise moving the legs a little to ease the pain. (The pain will not occur after continued practice).

YOGA FOR THE EYES

This one is for people who spend the entire day working in front of the computer. Here are a few simple steps to take care of tired eyes and enhancing the eyesight.

  • First Step: Sit comfortably (can sit on a chair or in Padmasana) and try to move your eyeballs ten times to left and ten times to right alternatively, without moving your neck.
