Meditation and Yoga

That is definetly not safe. A 600 calorie intake will kill you. Safe weight loss is a healthy diet that reduces your calorie intake by 500-600 a day. For women daily calorie intake should be around 2000. For men it is closer to 2500 a day. DO NOT restrict yourself to 600 calories a day please. However, even if you did, your body would put you into starvation mode because of such a low intake and hold onto your body fat longer than it would normally.

The first thing to be understood is to drop the idea of trying to meditate for anything. If you begin by desiring quieter thoughts or more relaxation or levitation you are setting yourself up for failure.

Meditation is the process of becoming aware of what is in this moment. Whatever is, is perfect.

If, as you begin to watch, to look in, to become aware, you notice thoughts happening, great! Thoughts are happening. I will simply be aware as the thoughts pass through.

If you notice feelings of joy arising, great! I will watch joy.

Simply notice what is, and accept it from your heart, with no expectations for any particular state of being.

Iyengar, in order to enable more people to practise basic Hatha Yoga, invented "Iyengar Yoga" that is mostly practised outside India. Classical Hatha Yoga is more complex and encompasses a lot more.

I think you are asking, "what happens to one's state of consciousness during a meditation hypnotic trance?"

The phrase "meditation hypnotic trance" needs exploring. Meditation is *not* the same thing as hypnosis, and it does not induce a trance state. Meditation is simply the process of watching your thoughts, feelings, and physical sensations.

Some medications do help to improve your sleeping. There are sleeping pills you can take to sleep easier and quicker than you would without one. I might suggest seeing a doctor as well.

Passive traction in Yin yoga refers to the effect on your body when you hold poses for a long period of time. When you flow through poses, much of the stretch that happens is in your muscles and tendons. But, in passive traction, it’s your connective tissues that are being lengthened as you practice. Proponents argue that this kind of stretching is key for overall health. They contend that it helps keep muscles and joints supple and frees the energy (Qi) in your body. Many poses in a Yin practice are held for several minutes at a time, so you can feel your body release tension even in simple poses.

3 litres a day! or more if you are exercising.

The independent variable is yoga, and you might have various [experimental] groups that do the yoga differently from each other. The dependent variable is blood pressure. You would want to make sure that the different groups are as similar as possible in make-up so that any differences in blood pressure can be attributed to the yoga and not to something else. If one group is made up of 18 year old athletes and another group is made up of 60 year olds with a history of hypertension, you can see that differences between the groups could not clearly be attributed to differences in their experimental yoga practice. You could balance the groups in a few different ways. Maybe you could assign people to groups randomly from a large selection of people in the 'target' population. Or you could deliberately select persons for each group in a kind of 1 X 1 correspondence, based on specific characteristics that you want to match as closely as possible. You might want one or more control groups as well, to account for the placebo effect or other extraneous effects. A control group could come in, for example, and have all the same bp checks as the experimental groups, but perhaps get presentations on various topics; maybe they could be asked to come in for a pb check, be allowed to leave, and then return for a second check 1.5 hours later. There are various ways to do it.

To think something over.

Demonic origin

I don't know. Everybody gets their own mantra. Anyway they are meaningless and they help you to get deep and silent. That's why they don't use English words.

Yoga was practiced by saints and munis to achieve the highest goals of life. Since they were hindu Yoga is connected to hinduism.

No. You can get either a 200 or 500 hour yoga teacher certificate from Yoga Alliance then you are a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT). There are certain colleges that offer yoga programs however.

The Inner Light was probably the only song that was directly inspired by Eastern religions and meditation.

Some schools, such as various Native American traditions, will assign various meanings to different images: wolf, eagle, etc.

Other schools, such as Zen Buddhism, will suggest that all images, thoughts, ideas, and feelings even are simply "mind stuff." They are things that float through the mind as you sit and bring awareness to your inner world.

Since in these schools meditation is all about awareness, about the witness, about the process of watching itself and being present to what is, whatever it is, no meaning is attached to the images. One simply watches: "aha, a wolf has appeared. Now it is gone. Now my mind is trying to figure out what this means. Is it good? Is it bad?" And so forth.

In Zen, one is simply concerned with noticing whatsoever is happening inside, because it is the *awareness* that is significant. The awareness brings light into one's life, brings godliness into one's life, brings delight.

Here some of the disadvantages of Yoga: Congestion of energy resulting in weakening of the body, fever or over heating, skin rashes, depression, pain and discomfort.

The main thing with hot yoga is the sweat. In a hot yoga class, a student will sweat extensively, resulting in a loss of water weight. This is not lasting weight loss as the student will have to rehydrate.

The yoga itself, if practiced regularly, promotes a healthier lifestyle. A student will usually see physical changes, and will often notice clothing fitting differently. A regular yoga practice also encourages better eating habits which can lead to weight loss.

I've been teaching yoga for 12 years, and I've seen students go through some pretty amazing physical, and mental transformations. Any type of yoga can promote weight loss, but it will ultimately depend on the student's discipline and devotion.
