Dharana (Concentration)

“Desha Bandha Chittasya Dharana”

As mind is fluctuating, roaming around continuously it is very difficult to control it. In certain limited areas of objects we bind our mental activities. This is called as Dharana or concentration or focusing on object.

Dhyana ( Meditation)

“Tatraprati Ektanta Dhyanam”

When the area of concentration reduces and becomes so much subtle that there is no mental fluctuation at all and continuous focusing without disturbance is called Dhyan or Meditation.

These two are not separate techniques but two different states of mind. We start practicing Dharana. Sometimes mind becomes subtle steady that we enter into Dhyana, after sometime again mind starts moving and come back to state of Dharana. It keeps on happening. One cannot force mind however it depends upon purity, innocence, will -power ,stability of body, emotion and mind as well.

We practice some techniques of meditation i.e. Om meditation, Dynamic meditation, Aanapan meditation, Cyclic meditation.

Artistic Yog consists of practicing asanas one after another in sequence with background music. It can be yogasanas as performing art or yoga ballet. Students who like dancing or those who are in the field of dance can learn this to improve their dance poses, flexibility, grace and energy.

 

Students with low levels of health anfd flexibility find it difficult to achieve and maintain the correct posture in various asanas. Props help such students to achieve the required perfection for the asanas and also helps them to improve overall body flexibility. Props help students in increasing their strength, stamina, flexibility, power and stability.

Asanas is the physical practise of yoga postures in the form of exercise.

At Kshitij many important things are taken into consideration while teaching the various Asanas. Such as

  • Sequence of Asanas - Gradual progression from simple to difficult.
  • Way of doing Asanas - when performing an asana, one should use his full energy to achieve perfection, grace n progress with intellectual involvement.
  • Daily Program/ Monthly Program of Asanas which keep all your body parts, muscles, systems and organs healthy, flexible and fit.


002It is always necessary to understand a patient’s physical pain with deep rooted cause in his family, mind, social background, workplace. For instance, a backache patient can get relief from his pain with back stretching asanas and medicines, but also stress relief through relaxation, pranayama, Dharana and Dhyan. We need to guide the patient on how to face his/her problems and not to run away from them. It gives him/her a lot of confidence to overcome his/her problem and live life happily. Therefore consulting of Ayurvedic medicine and Yogatherapy for body and counselling for their mind, ego and intellect are given in our centre.
