SARVANGASANA: (ALL-MEMBERS POSE)
It is so called because all parts of the body function
during its performance.
- Spread a thick blanket on the ground.
- Lie flat on your back. Then slowly raise the legs up, lifting the trunk and the hips vertically.
- Let the two hands support the back at the hips. Let the elbows rest on the ground.
- Form a chin-lock by firmly pressing the chin against the chest.
- In this posture the hinder part of the neck lies on the ground, and the trunk and legs stand in a straight line.
- Concentrate the mind at the thyroid gland that is situated at the root of the neck.
Timing: Do this for 2
minutes to start with and increase the time to half an hour. Let the breathing
be normal during the whole process.
Benefits:
- Sarvangasana will build for you a healthy thyroid. A healthy thyroid means healthy functioning of all organs of the body.
- This pose centralises the blood in the spinal column and feeds it abundantly.
- It keeps the spine strong and elastic. You will have
everlasting youth.
- It helps you not a little in keeping up Brahmacharya. It checks wet-dreams and rejuvenates the impotent.
- It is a blood and nervine tonic too.
- It removes dyspepsia, constipation and several other gastro-intestinal disorders.
- The benefits you derive from Sirshasana are also derived from Sarvangasana.
- A course of Sirsha-Sarvangasana will cure leprosy, powerfully rejuvenate the body and dispense with monkey-gland grafting.
