Excerpt: Yoga, which ensures the proper functioning of the human body in various ways, also provides physical and mental comfort.
Getting over a traumatic experience, be it mentally or physically, can be very draining and that too, when you have no idea how you are going to navigate through it. People who have experienced traumatic stress feel physically and mentally threatened most of the time and, as a result, find it difficult to heal and develop a sense of security again. However, there is a way that people can mentally and physically recover from trauma without going through much. Yoga, which has many benefits, has once again proven useful in helping people achieve peace of mind after experiencing a traumatic incident. Sometimes these traumatic circumstances include serious injury, physical pain, or illness, but they can also be caused by witnessing a death, a horrific accident, or surviving domestic abuse.
Yoga, which ensures the proper functioning of the human body in various ways, also provides physical and mental comfort. According to spiritual yoga guru Rajesh Singh Maan, also known as Acharya Advait Yogbhushan, yoga is the key to recovery from any kind of mental and physical trauma. In a conversation with HT Lifestyle, she said that yoga for traumatic experiences is like a ‘secret’ that is so small that you have to pay close attention to understand its effects.
Acharya Advait Yogbhushan defined our body as a machine that runs on energy and natural resources. He said: ‘We as humans need a fuel first and foremost to keep our system running, even without food and water, for several days. This fuel is oxygen’ and various other ‘fuel injectors’ are also required along with oxygen for the body to function properly. “If there is fuel in the tank but the fuel injectors may stop working or not work properly, then the whole engine may fail and the same with humans,” he shared.
The first and most important thing in your entire trauma recovery process is to try to activate 100% of the capacity of your lungs. Because healthy lungs mean a healthy heart and brain, which ultimately secrete endorphins that work like painkillers. According to Acharya Advait Yogbhushan, ‘Only if the lungs extract a sufficient amount of oxygen from the atmosphere and send it to the heart, is it possible to satisfy our brain, as the brain may not function properly.’ Furthermore, he emphasized that we never use our lungs to their fullest capacity; we usually use only 2/3 of our lungs.
He said that activating your brain using yoga helps you stay positive and overcome traumatic experiences and thoughts as it secretes a lot of endorphins. He said: ‘Brain is trying to recover damage and uses more energy generated by you to increase your immunity and other recovery systems. So when the brain is busy most of the time saving you from unconscious damage, using up most of the fuel, our lungs can’t deliver enough oxygen to the neurons to make you creative and happy.
Acharya Advait Yogbhushan added that achieving the ‘metahuman’ phase by ‘focusing on activating as many of the alveoli present in our lungs’ and ‘learning techniques to avoid the impacts of powerful gravity on our body’ will help a person in ‘becoming divinely conscious about the rest of the functioning of the body and the mind will begin to enter a state of no-mind where eternal peace is discovered.’
By practicing lung-focused yoga regularly, one can let their brain eradicate any physical or mental trauma.
