Yoga and eating food with hands

          Yoga and eating food with hands

Eating  food with the hand is a part of tradition, Culture, ritual and health based on the concept of Pancha Karma Indriya ( five organs of action ) and pancha janana Indriya (five organ of senses ) of yoga and Ayurveda in INDIA.

Eating is supposed to be a sensory experience and it is said to evoke emotion and passion. According to the Vedas, hands are the most precious organs of action. The scriptures reveal how every finger is an extension of the five elements. Through the thumb comes space, with the forefinger comes air, the middle finger is fire, the ring finger is water and the little finger represents earth.

Hence, eating with one’s fingers stimulates these five elements and helps in bringing forth digestive juices in the stomach.

The nerve endings on our fingertips are known to stimulate digestion. Feeling your food becomes a way of signalling the stomach that you are about to eat. You become more conscious of the taste, textures and aromas.

Eating food is not merely a way to satisfy the hunger, but to sublimate the senses and infuse satisfaction. It is a way to nourish the inner self.

Traditionally, the six tastes (Sweet, Salty, Pungent, Astringent, Sour and Bitter ) and varied food items are served all together on one platter(called Thali )which immediately pacifies the sense of vision, smell, taste and touch.

Silence is observed, in order for the sense of hearing to be as less stimulated as possible and take the stimulus from the sub vocalization of the sound of chewing. All of this help in the activation of salivary glands and salivary amylase (the enzyme responsible for aiding in the catabolic action on the food). The five sensory organs ( eyes ,ears, nose , tounge and skin ) when engaged in the activity of eating food in the above said traditional method .Have minimal outgoing tendencies and the senses go into the anabolic or energy conservation mode so that this energy is utilized for digestion .

The five organ of action - hands ,feet, organs of reproduction, organs of eliminaton and vocal cords have the tendency to respond according to the information collected by the five sensory organs and are generally catabolic in nature.

·        The use of hands allows one to feel the texture and temperature of the food , which further stimulates the salivary glands using the sense of touch, smell, and sight. it also prevents one from eating very hot or very cold food as these extreme temperatures are not pleasing to the human body and  neither is good for the digestive fire.

·        As we use hands to eat food, we tend to bring the fingers and thumb close to each other , which forms Sumana Mudra. The center of the palm is the seat of digestive organs as per acupressure. When we use hands for eating food, we naturally trigger these pressure points, which help in the release of digestive juices from the liver and gall bladder.

·        The center of the palm is also one of the most therauptic Marma points that activate the release of pranic energy in the entire body, which is triggered in the use of hands

·        The general habit of using the dining table for having meals may lead to overeating. When we sit cross legged on the floor to eat food, every time we bend forward to break a morsel it puts pressure on the stomach and once the stomach being happily full and anything more would be over eating.  While sitting completely upright we supress this natural urge/ sign from the body's innate intelligence.  As per Ayurvedic principles, the stomach should be only 3/4th filled with food and the rest 1/4th space should be allowed for the free movement of gases and for the process of digestion.  

                                   Vedic ritual of eating food

Pancha Pranopasana Mudras can easily be practised by one and all before meals. They invoke a feeling of gratitude and connection with the process of eating (Anna Grahan) . In addition, they help in balancing the main vital current known as Mukhaya Pranas .

Practice this short exercise for revising this set of Mudras before your lunch / dinner . This is known as parishinchami  (encircling with water), and the eating of small helpings of rice is  known as pranahooti ( offering to the vital breeths ). It is performed twice a day before the meals .All other meals are  considered "extra " or secondary (upa bhojanam ). Parisecana mantra is sort of a "protection"for the food we are about to eat .

1.Parisecana: Take a comfortable seated posture  , preferably cross legged position  (sukhasna)on the floor .Chant the mantra : Satyam tvartena parishinchami (O Food !you are true . I encircle you with divine righteousness.) And circumambulate the food with a sprinkling of eater. This sprinkling of  water is known as "parisecanna." At night, this mantra is :Rtamtvasat yena parishinchami.

2.Pranahoothi: Perform the following Pranahoothi . Use only the thumb ,index finger and middle finger of the right hand take a very little amount food and swallow it without touching the teeth . The idea is that by first making an offering to the Pranas we pay homage to their life-giving power by virtue of their performing the bodily activities that are crucial to our survival. In this way , this ritual recognizes that  not only is food important to survival, but the very bodily function that we take for granted are essential, and we owe all of this to the supreme. who sits as the superintending power behind all bodily activity, no matter how mundane   

·        Om pranaye Savaha ( Hold Prana Mudra in left hand) and meditate upon the mouth regime

·        Om Apanaya Savaha ( Hold Apana Mudra in left hand) and meditate upon the lower body below the navel

·        Om Vayana Savaha ( Hold Vayana Mudra in left hand )and meditate upon the limb (arms, hands, legs, and feet ) and heart

·        OmSamanya Svaha (Hold Samana Mudra in left hand)and meditate upon the navel region

·        Om brahmani ma atma amrtavaya. This means," May my self be united in the supreme, so that i may attain immortality "

Obesity/ Weight Loss/ Sthualya/ Medoroga

   

“Eating crappy food isn't a reward -- it's a punishment.” 
                                                                                 ― Drew Carey

To me, Mirror is the best diagnostic tool to look into yourself.

I heard saying many people during my clinical practice like I am so fat. My life has changed since I gained weight. I am stressed because I am not losing weight or my relationship is in trouble because of weight gain and so on…

Weight gain is one of the major health concerns around the globe and I believe it should be. Whenever you see a doctor or any health specialist they might ask you to reduce weight if you are overweight. In the modern world, Obesity is not a serious health concern for you but one among greatest challenges to health practitioners as well. If not acted on time, it can lead to permanent Physical, Mental & Emotional health issues.

Look at the statics:

 “In 2011-12, 62.8% of Australians aged 18 years and over were overweight or obese, comprised of 35.3% overweight and 27.5% obese.”

WHO (World Health Organisation) states that More than one-third (35.7 percent) of adults are considered to be obese. More than 1 in 20 (6.3 percent) have extreme obesity. Almost 3 in 4 men (74 percent) are considered to be overweight or obese. The prevalence of obesity is similar for both men and women (about 36 percent).

Life Style disorders are always the burning issues in humans since ancient time. Being an Ayurvedic Practitioner (Indian Ancient Medicine AYURVEDA), we focus on the root of the problem and treat holistically with Herbs, Diet-Lifestyle adjustments, and Detox Panchakarma Therapies.

In simple words to me, Obesity is considered from the human Sedentary lifestyle and Nutritional values/Diet, where the body found hard to metabolize the ingested nutrition. Obesity is over accumulation of the fat under the skin and certain organs. It is very easy to diagnose as the bulge of fat can be seen clearly on the body. 

To know exact you can refer BMI (Body mass index) formula as weight is not always marked with obesity.

THE English formula to calculate BMI is

BMI =	Weight in Pounds                              (Height in inches) x (Height in inches)	x 703

BMI	Diagnosis
<18.5	Under weight
Between 18.5 and 24.9	Normal weight
Between 25.0 and 29.9	Overweight
Between 30.0 and 39.9	Obese
Above 40	Morbidly obese

Obesity consider as one of eight (Nindniya prakrutis) undesirable constitution of the body.  

As per classics, the Kapha body type (water & Earth) individuals are more likely to gain weight easily in comparison with  Pitta (fire) and Vata (Air & Space) dominant body types. Accumulation of Kapha leads due to excessively nourished fat and malnourished other tissues end up with poor-disturbed-weak metabolic functions.

The disturbed weak metabolism is beautifully explained in Ayurveda under the concept of low fire (Agni) of digestion. The poor metabolic functions convert food into undigested toxic substance named AMA.

Ama is the product of weak and inefficient metabolism that blocks the channels of circulation. The clogging in circulatory channels leads to over 70% of health concerns like Obesity, Diabetes, High Cholesterol, High Blood Pressure, Fatty Liver, Stress, Fatigue, Myalgia, Arthritis, Low backache, Allergies, Indigestion, Malabsorption, Low Immunity, Low Iron, Cancer etc.  

Ayurveda always stresses on the cleansing/ detoxification/ Panchakarma of the body on a seasonal basis to flush the Ama (metabolic residue) out of the body and boost the metabolic functions to achieve optimal health.

Have a look here:

The healthy Agni is the key to health and weak Agni is the root of diseases.

The Basic rules to reduce weight and prevent disease are

1)      The first treatment to treat obesity is “Don’t accept your obesity.”  If you tried and failed that doesn't mean you cannot succeed. Develop a positive and determined attitude and help yourself.

2)   Start your day with sipping of two glasses of warm water. 

3)      Be active and start with physical workout like play any sport, cycling, swimming, running etc. if fit to do so. Don’t be lazy to go to playground.

4)      Avoid all Junk fried food, chips, frozen-cold-soft drinks, Alcohol, dairy products, tinned- canned food, ready to eat food, animal proteins, high sugar and high salt intake.

5)      Use plant based food as Plant proteins are easy to digest. Proteins should be taken on moderate amount not more than 14 to 16 percent of daily food intake.

6)      Eat balanced food rather than starving yourself. Ask experts for Diet Schedule as per your routine and body type. In general, avoid Carbs, starchy fatty food and eat more grains, salads and cooked food.

7)      Add spices like Cumin, coriander, curry leaves, liquorice, turmeric, mint, black pepper, cinnamon, garlic, ginger etc. in your diet. They are very helpful to boost up the metabolism.

8)      Improve your water intake and try to have warm liquids in sips instead of drinking cold water and icy drinks from fridge.

9)      Try to spend less time with Mobiles, Laptops at night. Early to bed, early to rise is the key to lose weight. Avoid Day sleep. 

10)      Introduce Yoga, Pranayama, Meditation in your schedule as they improve your willpower, positivity and reduce stress. They also very effective in weight loss. You can start with Anuloma- viloma (Breathing Exercises), Kapalabhati Pranayama and Surya Namaskara (Sun Salutes).

11)  Have food in portions and avoid food which your body generally starves. Taking frequent healthy food, small bites and chew longer is another formula to control the appetite.

12)  Read positive books, articles to stay motivated or see experts for more guidelines.
