6 Safe & Natural Weight Loss Solutions

Safe & Natural Weight Loss

Weight Loss Solutions

Yoga for natural weight loss is certainly a proven method now, and is being used extensively in both the East, as well as catching on in the West as well.  The weight loss solutions that come from this profound science are both safe and healthy, and you will find such information in the following program which is quite popular here on Mastery of Meditation & YogaFree Online Healthy Weight Loss Yoga Program, which uses the potent Health Weight Loss Online Yoga Exercises Set

Yoga certainly provides the physical aspect of a natural weight loss program, but adding to that the dietary wisdom of Ayurveda, the metabolic wisdom of Yoga Pranayama and emotional wisdom of Kundalini Yoga Meditations can really help accelerate your progress.  So in this article I will give you some additional safe and natural weight loss solutions that come from these wonderful disciplines.

6 Safe & Natural Weight Loss Solutions

Previously the article, 5 Healthy Weight Loss Tips from Ayurveda, provided general Ayurvedic guidelines and techniques for weight loss, but in today’s article I will give you 2 very specific dietary tips you can apply to help you achieve these goals.  In addition, I will provide 2 great Yoga Breathing Exercises which are excellent for weight loss, as well as give 2 yoga meditations which will help you stop emotional eating by filling you up with love and joy instead.

I provided some of these tips in the free monthly newsletter previously as well (sign up by entering your email in the top left corner), but thought it would be nice to publish them on the website too, since summer is around the corner and it’s time for all of us to get into beach body shape .

6 Safe & Natural Weight Loss Solutions:

A. Meditations to Help Stop Emotional Eating & Promote Natural Weight Loss:

You need to fill your life with love, so you don’t feel the need to fill your body with food!  Often eating is a substitute for lack of love and happiness in one’s life.  It becomes an escape when one is feeling down and depressed.  The following articles detail some great solutions for loving yourself more and activating your Heart Center to allow more joy to flow through you.  This will help counter issues with emotional eating, which can derail even good weight loss plans.

B. Yoga Breathing Exercises for Healthy & Safe Weight Loss:

The following 2 yoga breathing exercises are great for burning fat, increasing metabolism and helping with weight loss.  Pick 1 or pick them both.  They are great to add to your daily yoga or fitness program.  There are widespread weight loss success stories with the use of these pranayamas.  The key is to do them consistently and make them a part of your daily routine.  In addition to helping solve your weight issues, these breathing exercises bestow a bevy of other great benefits as well.  

3. Kapalbhati Yoga Pranayama  

4. Bhastika Yoga Pranayama

C. Ayurveda Diet Tips to Help Promote Natural Weight Loss:

 

If you are not familiar with Ayurveda, which is the ancient Indian science of health and longevity, you can read the following article, Introduction to Ayurveda – The Science of Self-Healing.  You can get more Ayurvedic tips for weight loss in the following article – Healthy Ayurvedic Diet to Burn Fat and Lose Weight.

5. Drink Hot Water with Honey:
 
First thing in the morning drink a glass of hot water with one teaspoon of honey.  In addition, use this drink to counter hunger whenever you need.  This will help your elimination system as well as help you burn fat.

6. Add Hot Spices to Your Food:
 

Making your food a little spicy will help ignite your digestive fire, improve circulation and generally help counter the accumulation of fat.  Don’t overdo this though if you have issues with heat related gastric issues.

 

Summary of Safe & Natural Weight Loss Solutions:

The key aspect for safe and successful weight loss is integrating healthy solutions into your daily routine which you can stick with over the long-term.  From the above list I would strongly suggest using all the tips to jump start your weight loss program and then keeping up with the powerful techniques, such as the yoga pranayamas for the long haul.  Natural solutions such as this, produce no ill side affects and as I mentioned above, help you in achieve much more than just weight loss.

Free Online Beginner’s Yoga Program Syllabus:

 

The following describes the 2 sections comprising the 30-45 minute daily yoga and pranayama sessions for this class.  The approximate total times for each section are also given.  Take more rest if you need to, or if you feel comfortable do the poses and exercises a little longer. 

Each breathing exercise and the yoga set below is a link to the article with all the details you need.

Beginner’s Yoga Program: Each day do the following…

Section 1: Breathing Exercises Section (Pranayama):  Total time 5-15 Minutes

  • Chakra Balancing Breathing Exercise (Anuloma Viloma Pranayama): Anuloma Viloma pranayama (or Alternate Nostril Breathing) is excellent for preparing your mind for meditation.  It will calm the thought waves and make it easier for the stillness to emerge.  Start with 5 cycles and build up to 20 cycles.
  • Kapalbhati Yoga Breathing Exercise for Optimum Health & Healing: Next do Kapalbhati Yoga Pranayama, which is one of the best pranayamas for health and healing.  Start with 1 minute and work up to 5 minutes.  Take rest between rounds as required.
  • 4 Part Deep Breathing Yoga Pranayama: This is a great yoga breathing exercise for beginner’s and experts alike.  It is perfect for getting your energy before starting your yoga practice.  Start with 1 minute and work up to 5 minutes.  Take rest between rounds as required.

Section 2: Yoga Section:  Total time 15-30 minutes

  • Beginner’s Yoga Positions: After completing your breathing exercises do the beginner’s yoga set.  This set incorporates many of the fundamental yoga exercises and postures and is a great set to get you on your way with yoga practice.  Start with the minimum times for each exercise and build up from there.

Free Online Beginner’s Yoga Program Guidelines:

Following are the guidelines which I suggest to follow…

  • Please post all comments, questions and feedback in the comments section of this post.  This way all will benefit from the discussion.  Feel free to ask questions or discuss issues, as that is one of the main reasons for this particular class format.  Of course, you are free to email me as well if you would like the discussion to not be public.
  • If you like, you can indicate with a comment that you have completed your daily session.  Could be as short as “did it”, or of course could be questions, issues or more detailed feedback.  The hardest part with a daily yoga and meditation practice is establishing consistency and regularity and I think having to acknowledge that you completed your daily sadhana (spiritual work) will help in facilitating that.  In addition, your comments would inspire others as well.
  • I will post all information regarding the class in the comments section below as well, so please check periodically for updates.
  • Before starting your daily yoga and meditation session, take a moment and tune in to your higher self for guidance and protection.  At the end of every session, visualize yourself and the world as you would like it to be.
  • Do the best you can and modify the class as you require.  It is more important to do something, than be overwhelmed and not do anything at all.
  • I wish you all a wonderful learning and transforming experience and hope you achieve your highest potential in this life.

Healthy Eating Guide | 11 Important Guidelines

11 Guidelines for Eating Healthy

Guide on How to Eat Right

You are what you eat.  That statement certainly holds a lot of truth, but equally important to what you eat, is how you eat it and that is the topic of this guide.  The basis for this guide lie in Ayurveda, the ancient Indian science of life and longevity, Yoga Philosophy as well as modern medicine.  The objective is to ensure that the food you are eating is providing you maximum benefit, not just at a physical level, but also at a psychological and energetic level.

Healthy Eating

Healthy Eating Guide:

1. Eat with Awareness:

This is the number one universal recommendation when it comes to eating.  Eating with awareness means to really taste your food and not eat while being elsewhere mentally.  So don’t eat while reading a newspaper, chattering endlessly, or while watching TV.  The result of mindful eating are the following…

  1. You will refine your power of awareness and ability to stay in the now. (read J. Krishnamurti on Sensitivity for more on this topic).
  2. Will find that you enjoy simple, natural foods much better.  So won’t need to cake your food with all sorts of unhealthy garnishes.
  3. With your mind on the process of eating, instead of over stimulated by external stimuli, you will find eating a much more enjoyable and peaceful activity.  This will result in much better digestion and positive conversion of the energy you are extracting from the food.

2. Don’t Eat when Upset:

If you are upset, stressed out, angry, depressed,etc, try to calm down before eating.  This is important for two reasons.  First, eating while upset prevents proper digestion and results in the consumed food doing more harm than good.  Second, you don’t want food to become your escape from these emotional states.  Often such emotional eating becomes a root cause for obesity, which can then be a difficult pattern to break (read How to Stop Emotional Eating for more information on this topic).

3. How Much to Eat:

Ayurveda has a nice method of helping you determine just how much you should be eating in any one sitting.  The amount of food you should eat, should be no more than what is required to fill your 2 cupped hands.  This is a handy gauge to keep in mind, when wondering if you ought to go for seconds, or thirds .

4. Right Portions of Food, Water & Air:

Another handy gauge from Ayurveda for determining the right combination of food, water and air for your tumtum to work at its best, is to fill it one third with food, one third with water and leave one third empty.  This ratio allows for the right amount of liquid, oxygen and heat needed to properly convert your food into energy.

5. The Importance of Water:

Sip room temperature, or warm water with your food.  Don’t underestimate the enormous benefits of this simple rule.  Whenever I diligently employ this policy, I feel much better, have more energy and enjoy healthy digestion. 

There are three important aspects of this one rule.  First, no cold water.  Second, don’t chug water with your meals, just sip it between bites.  Both these caveats are important, so that you don’t end up diminishing your digestive fire, keep which strong is key to proper digestion.  Third, nothing else but water with meals.  Try this for a week and you will be surprised by the results.

6. Right Posture for Eating:

The answer to the right posture for eating is a one liner – sit up straight.  This will help you with maintaining your awareness (guideline number 1), ensure the proper flow of food, nutrients and waste, and help you eat in a relaxed manner (guideline number 2).  Eating while standing, walking, lounging, sprinting , etc are all detrimental to the proper digestion of food.

7. Eat Slowly and Chew Well:

As you might have heard, digestion begins in the mouth.  There are enzymes there which are important to digestion and chewing well, helps these enzymes do the work.  In addition, eating slowly is a great way to prevent overeating, as it gives the body a chance to signal the brain that it is getting full.  Furthermore, eating slowly and enjoying the process will again help you with staying in the moment and developing the key art of mindfulness.

8. Eat when Hungry:

This simple guideline will help you bring your life in tune with your bodily rhythms.  Many people eat simple due to the time on the clock, which often leads to eating too much.  Also, apply this policy to how much you eat as well.  If you feel full, stop eating.  Just don’t keep gobbling down the food simply because it tastes good or because you are too distracted to notice the signals from within.

This same rule applies to drinking liquids.  Most people now drink for reasons other than being thirsty.  It could even be that you have not really felt thirsty for quite some time now, due to your regular trips to the coffee machine.  Even if you don’t do this perfectly (I know how enjoyable that morning cup of tea can be ), try to see if you can follow this policy a little more than you might be doing today.

9. Give Thanks Before Eating:

On our planet, life feeds on life.  That is just how it is. Whether you are vegetarian or not, you are still feeding on life.  So take a moment and give thanks for the food you have been provided, and resolve to use this energy for service and spiritual growth.

10. Don’t Eat Very Late:

Unless you have a ferocious metabolism don’t eat late at night.  As a general rule try not to eat at least 2-3 hours before sleeping.  This gives the digestive system a break and is important if you are trying to avoid gaining excess weight.

11. Eat the Right Foods:

This topic is actually too big to cover in this guide, but here what I am saying is that eat according to your constitution and physical condition.  Ayurveda provides a comprehensive model to help you determine what you should be eating and you can read more about this in the following 2 articles:  Introduction to Ayurveda & Healthy Ayurvedic Diet to Burn Fat and Lose Weight.

Briefly I will give some thoughts on this key topic.

  1. Eat according to your body type.  Heavier foods for those who are light and thin, while light foods for those who are overweight, etc.
  2. Eat to help balance the energies in your body.  Eating foods that are cool, pungent, dry, oily, etc, as per the need of your system at a particular time.
  3. Eat foods that are fresh and full of prana (life force).
  4. Don’t eat incompatible foods.
  5. In general eat more whole grains, vegetables and fruits.

Healthy Eating Guide Summary:

Food is a huge part of our lives.  It is also one of the aspects that we have the ability to manage well, if we make the effort.  The greatest gift you have been given is your unimaginably amazing human body.  To allow it to deteriorate and decay due to a lack of proper attention and care is terrible.  This guide to healthy eating will go a long way in helping you keep your body healthy and full of energy, so that you can use it properly in helping you achieve your highest potential.

Rapid Weight Loss Yoga Exercise Video

Free Healthy Weight Loss Yoga Program

Quick Weight Loss Yoga Exercise Video

Kundalini Yoga is probably one of the very best sciences if you are interested in quick and healthy weight loss.  This is because kundalini yoga programs incorporate exercises which utilize a great deal of powerful dynamic movement, which is ideal for burning fat, increasing metabolism and consuming calories.  As we all know, the absolute key to weight loss is to expend more calories than you consume, and kundalini yoga sets, if you have not found out already :-), are sure going to make you burn calories!

In addition, kundalini yoga exercises incorporate a great a deal of rapid, powerful breathing, which further assists in generating heat in the body to facilitate detoxification, fat/calorie burning and increased metabolism.

As if that was not enough, kundalini yoga’s balanced and multi-dimensional approach to health and wellbeing, ensures that the weight loss is not just rapid, but is also natural and safe.  Kundalini yoga works to make you physically, emotionally as well as mentally fit.  This way the very causes of excessive eating or unhealthy life style are rooted out and extinguished.  This ensures that the weight loss gains are not lost due to continued unhealthy patterns of thinking, feeling and living.

This Yoga Program for Weight Loss Video is the fifth entry of our Free Online Yoga Video series and the set demonstrated in this video is explained in detail in chapter 5, Online Yoga Exercises for Healthy Weight Loss, of the Kundalini Yoga Sets E-Book.

In addition, this set is also part of the Free Online Yoga & Meditation Classes, that I offer here on Mastery of Meditation & Yoga.  In particular, it is part of the Weight Loss via Yoga, Pranayama & Meditation Course, which is a comprehensive program to promote rapid and safe weight loss.

Ayurveda, which is the ancient Vedic science of healing and longevity goes hand in hand with yoga.  Thus, incorporating Ayurvedic diet and principles into your lifestyle can help speed up your weight loss gains and also, help make sure the lost weight stays off permanently.

Incorporating the principles and guidelines from the following articles can thus help you reach your weight loss goals more effectively:  Healthy Ayurvedic Diet To Lose Weight5 Healthy Weight Loss Tips from Ayurveda and Sweet Ayurvedic Treatment to Stop Emotional Eating & Lose Weight.

Weight Loss Yoga Exercise Program Feedback

Free Weight Loss Yoga Set Feedback

Free Weight Loss Program via Yoga & Breathing Exercises

Healthy, natural and safe weight loss is the best approach one can take when it comes to losing weight, burning fat and getting in shape.  Keeping that in mind, the Free Online Yoga Exercises for Healthy Weight Loss and the Free Yoga & Breathing for Weight Loss Program were designed some six months ago. 

Today I would like to share some feedback I have received regarding this Yoga for Weight Loss Program.  The primary reasons for sharing with you these testimonials, is to inform you of the benefits other online yogis are getting from these free programs and also, to inspire you on your own journey to getting the trim and fit body you want.

Weight Loss Yoga Exercise

Veronica’s Feedback Regarding Free Weight Los Yoga Set:

I came across the section “online exercises for Weight Loss” about 5 months ago and I started practicing them fairly regularly (just the exercises, without the breathing or the visualization), and I started noticing a slight difference in my body from the first week, but now that time has passed, I have seen even more results (particularly on my waist and midsection).  I didn´t realize that it was a complete class until 2 days ago, when I was reading again your website and I found the link to the Course #104. So I have for 2 days been practicing it, and I feel great, with more energy.

First, I would like to thank Veronica for sharing her experiences with us and providing this valuable and inspiring feedback regarding the yoga set and weight loss program.  In addition, a big congratulations to her as she is due to get married in 6 months, and I would like to wish her all the very best as she heads towards this great new chapter in her life :-D.

Free Weight Loss Yoga Exercises & Program Benefits:

With regard to the weight loss yoga set and full body shaping program, the feedback above is along the lines of how I envisioned them to work.  With natural sciences like yoga and meditation, it is important to remember that results materialize sweetly and gently.  I am not discounting that miraculous changes or rapid gains are not possible, they certainly are and you can read about them in the following 2 articles, Mind Power to Manifest Intentions & Desires Instantly and 7 Rapid Benefits of Consistent Kundalini Yoga Practice, but, in general, the results are like the blossoming of a rose bud.  The results come almost imperceptibly, are inevitable and finally, are gorgeous.

As Veronica experienced above, a sense of wellbeing and greater energy, tends to flow soon after beginning the program, with the weight loss and body shaping results following some time later, as
the muscles get toned, metabolism increases and excess fat starts to melt away.

40 Day Weight Loss Challenge:

There is really only mantra when it comes to Yoga and Meditation Practice.  Keep Going!  As I have undoubtedly mentioned many times before, one of the hardest things is consistency and unfortunately, it is also one of the most important aspects of you spiritual practice or for that matter, your weight loss program.

According to Kundalini Yoga, the time it takes to establish a good habit is 40 days.  So I suggest you set that as an initial goal.  That for 40 days you will do the Free Online Yoga Set for Healthy Weight Loss or if you have time, you will do the Free Weight Loss Yoga, Breathing and Meditation Program for 40 days.  See if you can keep that commitment no matter what.  If you don’t have the time for the entire set or course, just commit to some portion of it, but again for 40 days straight.

In my teacher’s training course, we had to do the Powerful Sodarshan Chakra Kriyas for 31 minutes a day for 40 days.  In addition, the agreement was that if we missed a day, we have to start over :-).  That is the type of character you must have in order to break out of mediocrity and live at your highest potential.  I am sure you can can lose the weight you seek to lose, burn the excess fat you do not need and get health and fit.  You have the potential, you have the power, just hone your intent and commit to your yoga or fitness routine.  What do you have to lose…. except the weight ;-).

Kundalini Yoga Chair Pose for Sexual Health

Kundalini Yoga Exercise for Improving Sexual Vitality

Hatha Yoga Posture for Toning Thighs & Buttocks

Chair pose is not chair yoga (which you will now find here – Chair Yoga for Energy and Stress Relief).  Not that I have anything against chair yoga, I am (as you must have guessed by now :-) a fan of all types of yoga, but chair pose, unlike the easier postures of chair yoga, is instead a tough little yoga pose.  It is for toning your leg muscles, building lower body strength and improving your overall sexual health.

Chair pose, is the fifth entry in our Free Online Illustrated Kundalini Yoga Poses and Exercises E-Book and is certainly a posture worth including in your yoga practice for building lower body strength and sexual virility.  This terrific exercise is part of many different types of yoga, such as Hatha yoga and Kundalini Yoga, and is also a pose used by western physiotherapy when leg muscles need to be strengthened.

Below you will find several pictures of chair yoga pose.  These illustrations include a modified version as well.  Please feel free to use this modification until you feel strong enough to try the full posture.  You will also see closeups of the hand positions as they are a little tricky to describe.  The demonstrations below are with my eyes open, but Kundalini Yoga practice is generally done with your eyes closed, and you may do this exercise with eyes closed as well.

Finally, please be careful of your knees, and even in the modified version of this pose, only go as far down as you are comfortable.  In time you can work your way lower and then finally do the full version when you feel ready.  Below the pictures, are written instructions for practicing this yoga posture, along with other pertinent details.

Kundalini Yoga Exercises & Chakra Meditation to Boost Immune System

Summary: Kundalini Yoga Exercises and Kundalini Chakra Meditations to boost your immune system and get your body tuned and ready for the challenges of winter.  Detoxify your system, increase your energy, burn excess fat and optimize your health with these two terrific gems from the profound science of Kundalini Yoga.

Often in Kundalini Yoga the example of a car is used to explain what this great spiritual science is trying to accomplish.  Kundalini Yoga puts it this way, your body is like a Ferrari, but in not knowing how to tune it, you essentially end up living your life running around in a Pinto.  If one thinks about it, we are taught a great deal of stuff in school, but we are not really taught how to optimize and take care of one of the most important things that we possess, our bodies.  I know there is Gym class, I can barely remember that far back actually :-), but even there we are not really taught much regarding health and wellbeing.  I do remember learning dodge ball though and I loved floor hockey, ok I digress :-D.  So hopefully this website is going to make up for that lack of education and give you all the tools and techniques needed to create a powerful, refined, dynamic and Ferrari like body.

Kundalini Yoga Exercises

Continuing along the analogy of a car.  Prior to the onset of winter my father, without fail, gets the cars to our family mechanic to winterize them.  As a result our cars run forever.  I know there is the great law of impermanence, but it just does not seem to apply to the wheels we have in our house :-D.  I think we ought to apply this same wisdom and diligence to our bodies and with winter around the corner, especially for us here in the North Eastern US, it’s time to winterize them as well.

The combination of Kundalini Yoga exercises and the Kundalini Chakra meditation below is excellent for this purpose of tuning up the body for winter.  The details of each of these yogic gems are in the articles themselves so I won’t rehash that here, but I will point out some of the important highlights and reasons for doing them prior to winter.

Benefits of Kundalini Yoga Morning Wakeup Series & Sodarshan Chakra Kundalini Yoga Meditation:

  1. Improve Immune System: Boost the immune system so that it’s working at maximum capacity.  Will help ward off and protect against cold and flus.
  2. Increase Heat/Pitta: Generate heat (increase Ayurveda humour Pitta) in the body to combat the affects of winter.  Thus, not allowing Ayurveda humour Vata and Ayurveda humour Kapha to be exacerbated during the winter months.  This will prevent Vata/Kapha type ailments, which are more prevalent during the cold season.
  3. Detoxify: Detoxify the entire system at all levels to increase the flow of oxygen (prana/chi/life-force) and amplify energy (Kundalini Shakti) is the psychic pathways.
  4. Increase Energy: Improve the nervous system, digestive system and respiratory system, thus helping tune the body to ensure health and vitality.
  5. Burn Fat: Help increase the cellular metabolic rate to promote weight loss and prevent excess winter fat from being accumulated, thus, helping attain and maintain a slim trim body.

Here are the links to the Kundalini Yoga Morning Wake-up Series and Sodarshan Chakra Kundalini Yoga Meditation respectively.  Time to get the Ferrari out of the garage!
