Abstract:

Abstract Background and Objectives Despite the easy acceptability and holistic nature of Kriya yoga, there are no studies evaluating the role of Kriya yoga intervention on depression. The objective of the current study was to assess the feasibility and effect of adjunctive Kriya yoga on depression. Methods Patients with major depressive disorder who opted for Kriya yoga were recruited into the intervention group (adjunctive Kriya yoga) and those on psychotropic medication alone were enrolled into the control group. The Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS) measurements were recorded at baseline, end of 2, 4, and 8 weeks. Results HDRS scores of the intervention group (n = 29) were found to be significantly lesser than that of the control group (n = 52) by the end of 2, 4, and 8 weeks. The remission rate was also significantly greater in the intervention group. Conclusion Kriya yoga intervention was found to be feasible, as well as improved the severity of depression.

Abstract:

“Health for All” is the goal promoted since 1977 by the World Health Organization (WHO). Stresses of modern living and work life have induced several symptoms of psychopathology among people from various walks of life. Consequences of stress affects people psychologically, physiologically and behaviorally which adversely affects their work-life balance. The Sudharshan Kriya Pranayama of the ‘Art of Living’ center at Bengaluru, India is a potent and effective method to counterbalance the effects of stress and enhance wellness. An extremely unique yogic breathing practice is Sudharshan Kriya Yoga which involves various kinds of breathing patterns that alternate between slow and relaxing to quick and stimulating. One hundred senior officers of the Government of India of different Ministries / Departments participated in the experiential learning workshop at the Art of Living centre at Bengaluru for the programme ‘Building Competencies for Personal Excellence’ in 2021. The participants practiced the Sudharshan Kriya Yoga for about two months. The feedback from the officers were collected and the same were analysed. It was seen that due to the practice of Sudharshan Kriya Yoga the heightened flow of energy between the mind and the body led to stress reduction and wellness among the senior government officers. Through the practice of Sudharshan Kriya Yoga the RSA (Respiratory Sinus Arrhythmia) was enhanced by calming down the participants. Other notable impacts of Susharshan Kriya are better sleep quality, trauma reduction and cortisol (stress hormone) regulation in the body. The participants were less reactive to provocation and there were fewer instances of anger outbursts. Cognitive functioning was enhanced which led to a balanced approach to social and interpersonal relationships leading to better coping with occupational stress, greater subjective well-being, increase in wellness and better adaptation to the pressures and stressors of life.

Abstract:

Background: Human eye captures light rays as they come and fall on the retina and convert them into an image. However, in myopia, light rays fall in front of retina, causing blurring of image. Correction of this is generally done using correcting devices such as corrective glasses and contact lenses. Existence of some alternative therapies is also noticed in literature. Aim: To compare the effects of Bates eye exercises and Trataka Yoga Kriya on myopia. Materials and Methodology: Ethical clearance was obtained from the institution, and informed consent was taken from participants. In this randomized comparative study, 24 participants (48 eyes) were taken based on inclusion and exclusion criteria and were randomly divided into two groups: Group A and Group B, where Bates eye exercise therapy and Trataka Yoga Kriya were given, respectively, for 8 weeks. Participants were assessed for their refractive errors and visual acuity pre- and post-intervention. Results: Data were analyzed by SPSS version 20. Results obtained revealed that both Bates exercises and Trataka Yoga Kriya were not significantly effective in reducing refractive errors and in improving visual acuity (P value of refractive error in right eye: 0.4250; left eye: 0.4596; P value of visual acuity in right eye: 0.5691; left eye: 0.8952). Conclusion: This study concludes that nonpharmacological approaches such as eye exercises and Trataka Yoga Kriya are not significant on myopia.

Abstract:

Yoga as an ancient science can help people live a long and healthy life. This science has now become in-creasingly popular in many countries. There are several health conditions that can be cured or at least alle-viated to a great extent, through the practice of this science. Yoga includes Asana, Pranayam and exercises that can help body, immunity, increase strength, weight loss, remove stress and relief from pains, infections and disorders. Some of the various yoga poses and techniques can be used to cure numerous conditions ranging from nasal polyps to cancer. Since a sinus infection is one of the most common respiratory ail-ments that people suffer from, it is only common for them to use natural practices to cure this condition. Yoga practice, which is known as Jala neti or Sutra neti, i.e., cleansing of nasal cavity, throat can help re-duce the pain and discomfort due to sinusitis, within a shorter period of time. These procedures are known as Neti kriya. Neti kriya is an integral part of shatkarmas / the six cleansing techniques that form the most important aspect of hatha yoga. Neti helps in preventing and managing upper respiratory tract diseases. An attempt is being made to collect and review articles that highlight the therapeutic effects of neti kriya. Data-bases like Pub Med (January 1980–April 2016), Scopus and Ayush Portal were searched. We used key-words like jala neti, neti kriya, neti combined with terms such as yoga, sinusitis, rhinitis, common cold, vision, snoring, nasopharyngeal carcinoma and mental health for the search. As only a few results were obtained, we reviewed relevant studies with saline nasal irrigation. Evidence emerging from this review suggests that neti offers manifold benefits and relief from the antibiotic grip. Most studies support the role of neti in treating sinusitis, rhino sinusitis, and allergic conditions and in improving vision. Jala neti has a significant role in improving the presence of mind and intelligence.

Abstract:

Yoga is a part and parcel of spirituality. There are several yogas and a number of schools of thought. Yoga definitely provides health. But peace of mind should include health. There are different kinds of yoga namely, bhakti yoga, karma yoga, raja yoga, kriya yoga, Kundalini yoga etc. The prime purpose of all of this yoga is the attainment of liberation for the sadhakas and sadhikas. The various spiritual practices formulated and introduced by our Seers consist of controlling the mind and strengthening the body. But the problematic problem is it is VERY difficult to calm and tame the mind. One can guarantee for the body built and it is impossible to answer in positive for mind control. Till this day, the current mind control yogic and other practices require LONG PERIOD of time. So far, no ways and means have been put forward for RAPID RESULTS. In this work, the author confidently proposes quick result oriented three EASY types of breathing techniques without any side effects and pains. In this work, the author unlocks the hidden treasures of mysteries of 32000 years old Tamil Lemurrian yoga.

Abstract:

Stress-induced disorders such as anxiety represent the leading causes of adult disability worldwide. Previous studies indicate that yoga and other contemplative practices such as pranayama, or controlled yogic breathing techniques, may be effective in the treatment of mood disorders and stress. In this study, 142 individuals (mean age = 43 years; SD = 13.90) participated in a 3-day retreat program during which they learned Shambhavi Mahamudra kriya, which is a yogic practice that includes both deep breathing and meditation techniques. Participants were instructed to practice the kriya each day for 21 minutes. After 6 weeks of daily practice, participants reported subjectively lower levels of perceived stress (Perceived Stress Scale) and higher levels of general well-being (General Well-Being Scale) compared to baseline. These results support the notion that Shambhavi Mahamudra kriya may represent a natural treatment for stress reduction.

Abstract:

Background Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) remains a significant treatment challenge among Canadian veterans. Currently accessible pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions for PTSD often do not lead to resolution of PTSD as a categorical diagnosis and have significant non-response rates. Sudarshan Kriya Yoga (SKY), a complementary and integrative health (CIH) intervention, can improve symptoms of PTSD. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, this intervention has pivoted to virtual delivery and may be reaching new sets of participants who face multiple barriers to care. Objective To evaluate the implementation and effectiveness of virtually delivered Sudarshan Kriya Yoga (SKY) on decreasing PTSD symptom severity, symptoms of depression, anxiety, and pain, and improving quality of life in Canadian veterans affected by PTSD. Methods and analysis Using a mixed-methods approach guided by the RE-AIM framework, we will conduct a hybrid type II effectiveness and implementation study of virtually delivered Sudarshan Kriya Yoga (SKY) for Canadian veterans. Effectiveness will be evaluated by comparing virtually delivered SKY to a waitlist control in a single-blinded (investigator and data analyst) randomized controlled trial (RCT). Change in PTSD symptoms (PCL-5) is the primary outcome and quality of life (SF-36), symptoms of depression (PHQ-9), anxiety (GAD-7), and pain (BPI) are secondary outcomes. The SKY intervention will be conducted over a 6-week period with assessments at baseline, 6-weeks, 12-weeks, and 30 weeks. The reach, effectiveness, adoption, implementation, and maintenance of the intervention will be evaluated through one-on-one semi-structured interviews with RCT participants, SKY instructors, health professionals, and administrators that work with veterans. Discussion This is the first investigation of the virtual delivery of SKY for PTSD in veterans and aims to determine if the intervention is effective and implementable at scale.

Abstract:

The World Health Organization (WHO) encourages using evidence-based traditional yoga and meditation practices for the promotion of mental health and well-being. This study intends to examine the influence of three Indian meditation practices, i.e., Vipassana mindfulness meditation, Raja Yoga and Sudarshan Kriya Yoga, by employing a cross-sectional design. 168 healthy adults - 84 meditators (n=28 for each practice) and 84 non-meditators – had voluntarily participated. Meditators reported significantly higher subjective well-being (satisfaction with life, positive affect), psychological well-being (flourishing), presence of meaning in life, and character strengths (hope, gratitude, curiosity, zest and love), and significantly lower negative affect as compared to non-meditators. The medium to large effect sizes (Cohen’s d: .572 to .955), except for zest, were marked with a significant association (r: |.245 to .487|, p <.05) with the duration pof meditation, thereby signifying enhanced benefits of sustained practice. 60.2% of the variance in flourishing was explained by satisfaction in life, positive affect, hope, gratitude and presence of meaning. These evidence-based universal practices accessible across the globe and acceptable to people of all ages and backgrounds are worthy targets of rigorous research, adoption at the workplace and widespread dissemination to further SDG 3 – ‘Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages.

Abstract:

Background: Hypertension and dyslipidemia are one of the most prevalent cardiovascular disorders affecting 20% of world’s population. There is emerging data that yoga therapies may be useful in managing modest elevations in BP. Yoga, specific yogic exercise (Sudarshan kriya) taught as a training protocol under Art of living course (AOL), is especially attractive as a candidate therapy in the management of elevated BP because of its combination of gentle physical activity. Hence, this study was undertaken to compare the effects of SDK on blood lipid levels.Methods: A total of 300 patients of hypertension and prehypertension were taken in the study where control group were given drugs treatment and life style modification and yoga group additionally had undergone yoga training. Lipid levels were estimated in both groups at entry, 06 months and 12 months and analyzed.Results: Lipid levels at entry were same in both while the yoga therapy group showed decrease in TG, LDL and VLDL at six months and 12 months but decrease was not significant. HDL levels showed significant increase in yoga group (P<0.05) at six months which was maintained at 12 months more so in diabetic patients.Conclusions: Yoga therapy has beneficial effect on serum lipid levels and should be included in therapy along with other measures.

Abstract:

ImportancePhysicians are exposed to high stress and strain that results in burnout, which affects them, their families, their patients, and the entire health care system; thus, there is an urgent need to develop methods to increase the resiliency of physicians. Sudarshan Kriya Yoga (SKY) is a comprehensive yoga breathing and meditation-based program that is a potential approach to mitigate physician burnout.ObjectiveTo determine whether SKY can reduce psychological distress and improve wellness in physicians.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsThis randomized clinical trial assessed the potential efficacy of SKY compared with a stress management education (SME) training as control. This study was conducted online from November 11, 2021, to March 14, 2022, and included physicians from Turkey, Germany, and Dubai. Both the SKY and the SME control groups received 1.5 hours of training for 3 consecutive days via a group video conference call. Participants were physicians willing to do some form of relaxation exercise everyday for 2 months. Exclusion criteria included presence of major illness and maintaining a regular mind-body program practice. Statistical analysis took place from March to November 2023.InterventionsParticipants were randomly assigned 1:1 into 2 groups—the SKY group or the SME (control) group—using a computer algorithm. After the 3-day instruction period, the participants in the SKY group practiced for approximately 30 minutes per day on their own and participated in a weekly 1-hour, group-based online follow-up practice. After the 3-day instruction period, participants in the SME group reviewed and applied the notes from stress management education training at their initiative and had a weekly 1-hour group-based online follow-up session.Main Outcomes and MeasuresThe primary outcomes were stress and depression (measured by the 42-item Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale [DASS-42]) and insomnia measured by the Regensburg Insomnia Scale (RIS) with primary end point at 8 weeks. Secondary outcomes included anxiety (DASS-42); optimism (Life Orientation Test-Revised [LOT-R]); professional fulfillment, work exhaustion, interpersonal disengagement, and overall burnout (Professional Fulfillment Index [PFI]); and self-reported professional errors (Self-Reported Professional Error Questionnaire).ResultsThis study included 129 participants (SME, 63 participants [48.9%]; SKY, 66 participants [51.1%]; 115 females [89.2%]; 14 males [10.8%]; mean [SD] age, 46.2 [9.0] years). Compared with the SME control group, participants in the SKY group had significantly decreased stress on the DASS-42 at posttraining (difference, −6.8 points; 95% CI, −9.6 to −4.1 points; P = .006) and at postintervention (difference, −6.0 points; 95% CI, −8.8 to −3.3 points; P = .03), significantly decreased depression at posttraining (difference, −5.7 points; 95% CI, −8.6 to −2.8 points; P &lt; .001) and postintervention (difference, −5.4 points; 95% CI, −8.3 to −2.5 points; P &lt; .001), and significantly decreased anxiety at postintervention. In addition, there was a significant decrease in insomnia from baseline to postintervention in the SKY group (difference, −0.3 points; 95% CI, −2.3 to 1.7 points; P = .01). The SKY group also showed significantly increased professional fulfillment as well as significant decreases in work exhaustion, interpersonal disengagement, and burnout. There was no effect on self-reported medical errors.Conclusions and RelevanceIn this randomized clinical trial, physicians who regularly practiced SKY throughout a 2-month period experienced improvements in wellness and decreased burnout. These data suggest that SKY may be an effective, practical, and safe strategy to increase wellness and mitigate burnout in physicians.Trial RegistrationClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT05956470

Abstract:

The history of modern yoga is rooted in the history of alchemy and the practice of magic in medieval India. In physiological terms it is also intimately linked to tantric ideas concerning the immobilisation of semen. However, modern yoga as a form of practice which emphasises physical fitness, wellness and holistic health, emerged more directly out of the early twentieth-century yoga renaissance. Leading figures such as Shri Y ogendra and Swami Kuvalyananda sought to purge yoga practices such as asana, kriya and pranayama of all things esoteric, mystical and magical and establish practice on the basis of pragmatic, rational, scientific principles. They did this within a framework of what can be called secularised spiritualism. Since the early part of the last century yoga has been popularised, systematised and routinised on these terms, as reflected in countless schools founded by teachers with various degrees of training and experience, as well as in thousands of popular, scientific and academic publications. In all of these schools and publications—both more and less spiritual and philosophical—there is, it will be argued, a degree of profound ambivalence if not explicit contradiction between a secularised, 'sanitised' scientific ideal of medicalised practice, and the 'other history' of sex, magic, and alchemy. This 'other history' both undermines and authorises the idea of yoga as medicine, and, it will be argued, the tension between pragmatic rationalism and esoteric magic makes yoga powerful.

Abstract:

e24040 Background: The global cancer burden continues to rise, putting individuals under severe physical, mental, and financial stress. Yoga may aid chemotherapy patients to improve their quality of life. The purpose of this survey is to learn more about the gaps in knowledge, attitude, and practice of Yoga and barriers. Methods: The cross-sectional time-bound survey was conducted on cancer patients of age 18 years and above receiving cancer treatment at the outpatient clinic of AIIMS Rishikesh. We collected data of 738 cancer patients, bivariate and multivariate analysis was done to understand the level of awareness of the importance of Yoga as an alternative therapy. Results: Of 738 cancer patients who participated, 90.2% had heard about Yoga. Among those aware of yogic practices, only 15.9% knew that Yoga is an alternative therapy across the world. Knowledge of yogic importance was associated with age (OR = 1.16, 95% CI = 1.07-1.26, p = 0.002), education (OR = 0.5, 95%CI = 0.4-0.6, p < < .001), religion (OR = 1.16, 95%CI = 1.1-1.2, p < < .001). Attitude towards Yoga with the belief that it helps maintain mental health has a positive association with education (OR = 0.9, 95% CI = 0.8-0.9, p = 0.03). Almost 56% of cancer patients had never practiced Yoga. The identified barriers in yogic kriya practice were lack of time, interest, and facilities. Conclusions: The knowledge of the benefits of Yoga on health was high in adolescent young cancer patients. Still, the motivation towards yoga practice is limited due to various factors like lack of infrastructure, time, belief. The gap between knowledge, attitude, practice, and barriers can be overcome by conducting effective yogic programs for this population.

Abstract:

Introduction: Premenstrual syndrome and dysmenorrhea are most common gynecological disorders associated with reduced quality of life among women of reproductive age. This study aims to compare the premenstrual syndrome and dysmenorrhea before and after practice of yoga among women of reproductive age living in Kathmandu, Nepal. Surya Namaskar, Surya Kriya and Shambhavi Mahamudra were common yoga types practiced by participants. Method: A retrospective pre-post study with concurrent mixed method design was used. Study respondents were 41 women of reproductive age. Numeric pain rating scale and Premenstrual syndrome scale were used for quantitative data collection. Interview guide was used for the qualitative data collection. Google form was used for quantitative data whereas telephone was used for an in-depth interview. R-4.2.1 software was used for the quantitative data analysis. Qualitative data was analyzed using Braun and Clarke’s 6-steps thematic analysis in RQDA 0.3.8.1 package of R software. Qualitative findings were triangulated with quantitative findings to determine convergent, divergent and expansive findings. Result: All outcome variables pain intensity score (Baseline: 6.46±2.31, Endline: 3.71±2.24, p<0.0001), pain duration in hour (Baseline: 6, Endline 2.5, p<0.0001) and premenstrual syndrome score (Baseline: 104.73±33.28, Endline: 74.24±22.08, p<0.0001) were significantly different after practice of yoga as compared to before yoga practice. Qualitative findings supported the quantitative result and presented expansive finding as yoga may be beneficial for management of irregular menstrual cycles and polycystic ovarian syndrome as well. Conclusion: The study suggests yoga may help in alleviating premenstrual syndrome and dysmenorrhea.

Abstract:

Background: Health care workers (HCWs) experience abounding physical and mental exhaustion mandating a deliverable solution for their mental health care. Kriya yoga (KY) includes several relaxation techniques and offers a stress-alleviating experience. The objective signature of KY benefits needs to be investigated. Aim: To study the effects of KY practice on brain oscillations and perceived stress in health care providers. Methods: This prospective interventional study was conducted during coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic. HCWs were enrolled to the intervention group (IG) and control group (CG) after obtaining an informed consent. IG visited the yoga center for learning the KY technique. Electroencephalogram (EEG) was recorded in both the groups, at baseline, and at the end of 6 weeks in the EEG Laboratory. Perceived stress scale (PSS) scores and participants’ subjective response to KY practice were also collected. Paired t-test and independent t-test were used for statistical comparison wherever applicable. Results: Age and baseline EEG powers among the IG and CG (N = 25) were statistically comparable. Absolute power analysis revealed a statistically significant increase in alpha and delta powers after 6 weeks of KY practice. The PSS scores revealed a statistically significant decrease in perceived stress after KY practice. Furthermore, 83% of the participants reported the subjective calming effects of KY practice. Conclusion: KY practice ensues relaxing effects on the brain, as evident from the EEG absolute power analysis, PSS scores, and participants’ subjective response. As KY is a brief technique, it may be encouraged during short break session among the HCWs for promotive health.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Context: This systematic review of the literature examines the published data on Sudarshan Kriya Yoga (SKY) and its effects on sleep. Aims: SKY is a rhythmic breathing technique consisting of four stages of breathing and takes approximately 30 min to complete. SKY has shown beneficial effects in anxiety reduction, well-being, stress reduction, and sleep. We performed a systematic review looking for evidence of SKY’s effectivity on sleep quality. Methods: The review procedure followed the PRISMA methodology. Articles included in this review were identified using PubMed, Cochrane Review, and expert recommendation. The search terms used were SKY, Sudarshan Kriya, sleep, breathing, and meditation. Inclusion criteria required the article to use SKY with sleep as a measured outcome. Patients with psychiatric disorders were excluded. Nine articles were agreed upon by all authors for inclusion. Results: All nine studies showed some beneficial effects of SKY on sleep; however, return to baseline sleep patterns was noted in two of the studies. Sleep quality improved with the regular and more frequent practice of SKY in a cross-sectional study. Conclusions: SKY shows beneficial effects on sleep for participants who learn the technique. A strong recommendation is difficult to offer based on the small nature of the trials, lack of systematic controls, and some trials showing a return to baseline sleep quality, after a latent period. Further, investigation through controlled and prospective studies specifically designed to measure sleep quality with this technique is needed.

Abstract:

Breathing exercises are frequently advised to promote improved organ function, stress reduction, relaxation, and control over psychophysiological states. It has been demonstrated that yogic breathing, which is the control of breath movement, improves immunological function, autonomic nervous system imbalances, and illnesses linked to stress or psychology. This study aimed to evaluate and present a thorough analysis of the physiological mechanisms, the mind–body connection, and the advantages of Sudarshan Kriya Yoga (SKY) in various therapeutic settings. Medline, PsychINFO, EMBASE, and Google Scholar were among the many internet resources that were looked up. Articles on SKY were chosen after a thorough screening of all the results. We looked through these articles’ references to see if there were any more, perhaps pertinent articles. A variety of cyclical breathing rhythms, from slow and soothing to fast and invigorating, are used in SKY, a special kind of yogic breathing technique. An increasing body of research indicates that SKY may be an advantageous, low-risk, low-cost supplement to the treatment of stress, anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, medical conditions linked to stress, substance misuse, and the rehabilitation of criminal offenders.

Full text

Abstract:

This article uncovers the congruity of Neo-Platonism in Autobiography of a Yogi by Yogananda. The philosophy of Neo- Platonism postulates that the phenomenal creation is the emanation of the Cosmic One which radiates pervasive wisdom, the world soul and the living being. Thus, the spark of divinity dwells in every living being. Likewise, Yogananda’s Autobiography of a Yogi expounds that the entirety of creation is the qualitative growth of the unitary cosmic consciousness that is known as God. With the experience of Kriya Yoga, one can transform this mundane identity into a cosmic self by establishing communion with cosmic consciousness or God. This is the ultimate way to realize God Consciousness, liberating oneself from the bondage of the phenomenal world. Besides, this work also enthralls the dichotomy of soul and body by substantiating the concept that creation is the idea of a divine unitary mind. The body is the source of frozen energy. The moment it embraces yogic vibes, it suffuses to realize its original source. In this way, both Neo- Platonism and Yogananda unite to open the gateway to realize the effulgence of the One, the highest Good, cosmic consciousness, or God. To explore these concepts, this article implements the paradigm of qualitative approach, interpreting Autobiography of Yogi from the philosophical lens of Neo-Platonism propounded both in the East and the West.

Abstract:

Background & Objective: Allergic rhinitis is a global health problem that contributes to missed or unproductive time at work. Inflammation associated with allergic rhinitis causes nasal venous sinusoids, swelling of the anterior and inferior nasal turbinates, and obstruction of nasal airflow, ultimately contributing to nasal congestion. Sutra Neti Kriya and Kapalabhati are practiced for more than thousands of years as part of Hatha Yoga practice. It has been used as nasal cleansing technique to clear the nasal passage from obstructions, and to improve the health of Upper Respiratory Tract and preventing infections like Sinusitis, Rhino conjunctivitis and Allergic Rhinitis. Breath awareness helps in focusing on the respiratory health and free passage of air in and out through both nostrils. Methods: Based on inclusion and exclusion criteria total 120 subjects were selected out of 200 subjects screened. 60 subjects are recruited for group 1 and 60 subjects for group 2. Group 1 subjects are given 11 sessions of Sutra Neti followed by Kapalabhati for 4 weeks, Group 2 undergo 20min of breath awareness on same sessions as group 1. Pre and post data were collected and analyzed using appropriate statistical methods for comparison. Results: The result is suggestive that the impact of Sutra Neti Kriya followed by Kapalabhati on variables was significant. Significant change was noted in AEC, SNOT and RQLQ each domain and total score in Group-1. In contrast, group 2 showed no significant changes. Conclusion: Practice of Sutra Neti Kriya followed by Kapalabhati helps to ward off common cold, coughs, allergic rhinitis and tonsillitis. Result of RQLQ and SNOT questionnaire in this study shows evidence to improvement of Quality of life and wellbeing. AEC decline is also observed, so the technique also reduces the inflammation.

Abstract:

Cada año miles de personas en el mundo se inician al neo-hinduismo en la versión que la Fundación El Arte de Vivir ofrece, particularmente a través de su “Seminario de Técnicas Respiratorias para el control del estrés y la ansiedad”. Durante los seis días que dura esta performance ritual, los participantes atraviesan toda una serie de preparativos -antes de sumergirse en la técnica respiratoria del Sudarshan kriya- a fin de producir transformaciones sobre su corporalidad y su subjetividad. Este artículo aborda los sentidos que los participantes otorgan al proceso de “desintoxicación” así estimulado, que derivaría incluso en una “purificación”. Desarrolla cómo los efectos somáticos de la técnica son traducidos en términos de ampliación de la “conciencia” y mayor atención intercorporal a la “energía” propia y ajena. Frío, temblor, llanto, dolor de cabeza y mareos constituyen algunas de las manifestaciones corporizadas más frecuentemente mencionadas. Como parte de un trabajo de campo más extenso en torno de los sentidos del bien-estar en el circuito de practicantes de yoga en una ciudad argentina de escala intermedia, el objetivo de este trabajo consistió en comprender fenómenos indeterminados propios de la experiencia humana –como los que el sudarshan kriya induce- recuperando su carácter intersubjetivo desde el paradigma del embodiment en antropología (más allá de un análisis del universo semiótico al que el ritual pertenece).

Abstract:

Background: Menopausal health concerns mainly include the vasomotor symptoms, cardiovascular symptoms, osteoporosis, cancer, sexual problems and urogenital atrophy. Our life style today leads to a lot of stress, depression and anxiety. Prolonged stress can make one experience the symptoms like menopause (though not actually inducing it). Yoga exercise meditation and life style modification have relieved stress and enhanced the quality of life. Sudarshan Kriya (SK) is a rhythmic breathing technique with 4 breath components. It has varied effects on body especially acting by relief of stress.Aims and Objective: Assess the effects of SK on the commonly perceived symptoms experienced by the postmenopausal women in central India.Materials and Methods: A random sample of 156 women was interviewed by administering a pre-designed and pre-tested questionnaire. Questionnaire included 14 frequently occurring symptoms. Stress was scored on Likerts scale to assess the severity. (Score total =lowest 0 and highest 42). Those women doing regular SK for at least more than 1 year before the final menstrual period (n= 79) formed the Study group and women doing SK for less than 1year, women following other health practices, or not following any health practice at all (n=77) belonged to the Control group.Results: Women doing SK were found to be happier and content as compared to controls. SK with vegetarian diet was found effective in lowering the scores. Combining SK with exercises and yoga together can reduce the score to the lowest level. Minimum two years of regular practice was found enough to yield low scores and best quality of menopausal transformation.Conclusion: Initiating SK into the lives of postmenopausal women at the right time can assure a less morbid, more comfortable and a better quality of postmenopausal life.Asian Journal of Medical Sciences Vol.8(5) 2017 58-63

Abstract:

Background: Mental health problems are increasing at an alarming rate throughout the world, and teenagers are no exception. They experience high levels of stress in their formative years which often leads to poor social behavior. In the present study, we examine the effect of Sudarshan Kriya Yoga (SKY), a yogic breathing technique on perceived stress and social behavior of school going teenagers. Method: A cross-sectional survey was conducted. Teenagers who practiced SKY daily constituted the study group and teenagers who did not practice any form of yoga or meditation formed the control group. Child Perceived Stress scale (C-PSS) and Strength and Difficulty questionnaire (SDQ) were used to evaluate the mental health and social behavior of both groups. Results: Lower stress scores were observed among students who practiced SKY compared to their peers. A significant difference was observed between the groups with respect to emotional problems, conduct problems, peer problems, and pro-social behavior. Gender wise comparison highlighted that the females from the SKY group scored lower on emotional problems sub-scale compared to their counterparts from control group. Results also highlighted an improved peer to peer interaction among both boys and girls in the SKY group. Conclusion: The results indicate the practice of SKY is associated with reduced stress, improved self-awareness, and social behavior.
