Prathyahara … to improve concentration
it happens to some people,when they hold their book to read, they get diverted to gadgets, tv,movies etc. , and for few of them, they tend to sleep as soon as they start reading. And for others, they want to read but they cannot read for more hours, their head feels soo heavy. At those moments, atleast doing prathyahara yoga once , there are chances to improve concentration. But before doing prathyahara asana, there are few asanas which helps not just in improving blood circulation but also helps the mind to be stable and lower our stress.

Tada asana
Stand straight with the feet close to each other. Bring both your hands over your head as in saluting to govinda, namaskara posture such that both the palms touch each other. Do this 5 times.

Uthanasanam
By standing straight, slowly bend down the head as much as possible from your waist and not moving the parts below the waist. At the same time , by bending your both hands hold them behind at the back.

Uthkantasanam

• dwipada peetam
• maharudra
• apaanasanam …. After doing all theses
• prathyahara asanam

Firstly, be in padmasana posture, cris cross your legs and sit. While being in this posture, close your ears with thumb, eyes with index finfer and mouth with little finger of respective hand. Close the left nostril partially and the right completely with the middle fingers and inhale. Exhale from the right nostril. Repeat this for 10 times.

During study hours, take a break for every 40 mins . Doing these asanas at least once in a day should be good enough.

Tips to Reduce Stress

After being in padmasana, put your fingers(both hands) on the forehead for 3 mins. When the fingers are placed on the forehead the neuro vascular points touches the pulse and relaxes the mind service system. Stress reduces. You can do this exercise when you feel tired.

Drinking 2 to 3 liters of water a day is very essential. As a result of this , brain works sharply in memo raising what ever you studied.

You have to note down on paper all the negitives going on in our heart in positive way. For instance, if you have fear for examination, we have to write on paper that “i like examinations”. This is known as affirmatives in switch work. By writing all the negatives positively , there are chances to loose that fear against that particular thing.

In the process of comparison, there are chances of building up jealousy, hat redness, over confidence and lower confidence which effects our intelligence and decreases our memory power.

By scheduled study and by following few tips, we can over come stress, fear add low memory.

‘couldn’t remember what we studied’…’ couldn’t concentrate’ … feeling heavy after few minutes of study’. . Oh my god! As the exams are approaching near, we have some sought of fear inside us’… all these are the common probes faced by the students.

In case one after the other…something or the other work comes through out the week…. Then its the situation where we have to work without resting the whole day. Finally when its the time to relax a bit, we end up with back and shoulders pain. This is know as ‘tech neck’. To overcome these pains its enough to have a chair. Wonder how ! ! !

As shown in the picture, sit in the chair in 90degrees angle and stretch the other leg. By doing this we can reduce our back and shoulder pains to the maximum extent.

Place both the hands on the chair. Turn the fingers towards you. Stretch your feet forward, bend back the neck looking upwards. Relax after being for about a minute in this posture. This results in relaxing the neck and shoulder pains and also melts the fat accumulated in those areas.

Sit on the chair keeping back erect. Push your tummy out and bend back shoulder, chest and head. This looks exactly like an rainbow. While exhaling squeeze your tummy inside and place your hands forward and be in the posture opposite of what we did before. Repeat the same as many times as possible. This exercise relaxes pains in the back and the waist .

Sit in the chair in one direction . Bring one hand above the shoulder and the other from below then hold both the hands. Stay in the posture for about a minute and change the hands and repeate the same. This relaxes neck and shoulder pains.
