Yoga Chikitsā and Nāḍi Shodhanam

in Ashtanga Yoga.

Meaning of the work.

Yoga Chikitsā

Primary Series – Surya’s aspect, Fire
Chikitsā – healing
Chikitsālay – hospital

• physical body’s aspects
• correct structures of the body and mind (emotions, mental structures/ right mental patterns)
• building fascia and fascia tapes (paths for electricity, like cables)
• connections between muscles, learning how to support them from the centre
• relieving from too big tension in muscles
• pumping blood and lymph in correct way, correct directions and to right places
• inner strength, strong core, building own centre
• building supportive fascia tapes and synovial fluid for joints, to achieve their maximum ability for full/natural potential of movement
• cleaning the incorrect /wrong patterns of movements (which lead to injuries)
• bringing primal geometry of the body  (“factory settings”)
• cleaning movements or reactions of the body made as compensations, as traumatic body’s reactions
• correct rotation of joints
• organs purification and activation (they are basic sources for 12 main meridians)
• Wei Chi production (sweating)/ electricity (energy) on the superficial skin’s layer (between skin and muscles)
• working with consciousness, awareness
• integration of the body and mind
• main meridians which are activated in this series: meridian of the liver/gallbladder (muscle tension, detoxification) and spleen/stomach (quality of the muscles, fascia, digestion)
• study of Yamas – my connection with the others (related: me to the others)

THIS IS THE BRIDGE

Nāḍi Shodhanam

Second Series – Candra’s aspect, Water
Shodhana – removal, balance
Nāḍi – paths of the nervous system, meridians, paths for Prāna (life force, breath of life)
72 000 nāḍis, 12 main nāḍis (meridians)

• balancing and purifying the nervous system
• learning correct reactions of the nervous system by specific expositions in asanas
• work focused on spine (length and strength), its potential, space between verterbrea
• muscles of the spine, layers of fascia along the spine
• cerebrospinal fluid, brain’s biochemical structure, hormons’ production
• main meridians which are activated in this series: meridian of the bladder/kidneys (deepest, primal fears, confrontation, territory) and lungs/ large intestine (energy of life, diaphragm potential/ purification, removal, non attachments, non holding)
• deep work on fascia and fascia tapes (using them for transporting electricity, energy) which are built in primary series
• basic work on energetic level
• active work with electricity of the body, nervous system’s stimulation (thanks to structures prepared in primary series)
• working with unconsciousness and dreams
• purification and healing traumas written on fascia and nervous system (breathing is the key – connection between mind and body)
• study of Niyamas – my connection with myself (related: how I act with myself)

THIS IS THE RIVER

YOU CAN’T CROSS THE RIVER WITHOUT SOLID AND STRONG BRIDGE

In other way something will go wrong:

INJURIES, HEALTHY PROBLEMS, MENTAL PROBLEMS, PROBLEM WITH THE SENSES

We can have an amazing tool
But we can use it in a wrong way
Results are the test
