Curing muscle problems from Pranayam

 

Curing muscle problems from Pranayam

प्राणायामेन दुस्साध्यम् नास्ति किञ्चिद्भवार्णवे ।

देहालस्यश्रमाद्स्नायुव्याधिवाताद्विमोचनम् ॥

पञ्चानि तस्य अङ्गानि भक्तिर्ब्रह्मचर्यस्तथा ।

क्षमातृप्तिस्स्वजीविते दया सर्वभूतेषु च ॥


Jyotishmatee Yoga Sutra  - #40

Meaning - There is nothing one cannot achieve with Pranayam in this world. Laziness, tiredness, muscle sprain, muscle diseases and even diseases of Vata imbalance can be certainly cured from Pranayam. 

 Practicing Pranayam for years can create miracles. A simple Bhastrika or Bhramari can bring amazing health improvements. It can cure chronic diseases too. Then why is it that they don’t work on everyone or in every case ?

Healing is a very spiritual concept. A person can be healed by his or her own energy. Energy can be certainly borrowed from others like in Rekhi. But eventually the concept is that, one needs to have this reserve of spiritual energy.

This energy is obtained through Pranayam.

We are talking of spiritual energy, not physical power exerted during pranayam. This spiritual energy comes from various virtuous practices and purity of thoughts.

For these Ahimsa, peace with one’s own circumstances and compassion not envy towards all is absolutely necessary.

Along with this, brahmacharya in thoughts, words, action and imagination is necessary.
