Yoga Being Modern Ailments

As recently as a century ago, when the average life expectancy throughout the Western world was less than forty years, people gave little thought to keeping fit. Life was simply not long enough. The few men and women who lived into their eighties and nineties were thought old souls of whom it was said that they were so mean nothing would kill them. Today the picture has changed. On the one hand, science and medicine have combined to lessen the hazards to which we are exposed. Plagues have been wiped out. Anti-biotics and other miracle drugs are conquering diseases long considered incurable. Surgery is capable of life-saving magic. Our life expectancy has very nearly doubled and continues to rise. On the other hand, we have acquired an entirely new set of problems. Even as the years of our lives stretch out longer, existence becomes infinitely more complex. By its very nature, twentieth century civilization makes this inevitable. The Atomic Age is hardly a relaxed age. We circle the globe in a matter of hours, we talk of trips to the moon as the reality of tomorrow - but we also know that tomorrow's wars, unless prevented, will be on a scale to wipe out continents.

The basis for an integrated approach in Yoga therapy

This integrated approach is derived from the Upanishads and texts on Yoga particularly Taittiriya Upanishad and Yogavasistha. Man's fuller existence including the subtle bodies (depicted as Pranayama, Manomaya, Vijnanamaya and Anandamaya Kosas or sheaths. apart from our gross physical body called as (Annamaya Kosa) has been considered. The Science of illness and the spectrum of Yoga Therapy portrayed in Yoga Vasistha has been reported earlier (A 11a) Originating at the Manomaya Kosa level (as 'Adhis'), the 3rd among the five sheaths of our existence, the agitations of mind cause imbalances and disturbances in the Pranamya Kosa level. The disturbed pranic flows and unstable 'Nadis' (the channels of Prana) do not allow the food to be digested properly. Over digestion, under digestion and wrong digestion bring about physical symptoms in the grossest ANNAMAYA KOSA (Vyadhis). This is the genesis and process of development of psychosomatic ailments.
