Description
Today yoga is widely practiced all over the world. However, not many are aware of its full potential. According to celebrated yogis, yoga can not only prevent and cure all ailments, it can even prevent birth defects. A human body develops from one cell to trillions of them. During the period in the womb, the inner intelligence, which is the guiding factor for all development, is greatly influenced by the mother’s mind. The author talks about an aunt ofhis who was expecting a baby. She had a statue of the one-armed Venus in her living room. Whenever his grandmother visited them, she would object to the statue being there, saying it was not good to see such incomplete figures during pregnancy, and ask from to remove it.
His rational uncle would not hear of it, dismissing it as just a superstition. Finally, when his aunt delivered, she gave birth to a healthy boy but with only one arm. Could it be a coincidence? Who can say? In our body, all functions and developments are controlled by the brain. No cell is completely independent. The brain is not independent either. It is under the control of the hypothalamus which is greatly influenced by the state of one’s mind.
The right yoga, practiced correctly from the beginning can prevent almost all major maladies. Yoga and Meditation for all ages, contains relevant asanas, pranayama, meditation and yoganidra to be practiced during
