Dear Readers,
Radhekrishna!
In this article we will continue our discussion on 'Nexus between Acupressure and Hinduism'. We will describe an Asana from Hinduism that deals with Acupressure.
In yoga and during meditation, an ASANA CALLED PADHMASANA is formed by folding the legs and keeping the spine and neck erect. This resembles lotus – PADHMAM, IN SANSKRIT. Hence the name PADHMASANA. Here the left leg is kept above the right leg, putting a pressure on the right leg below the knee- cap.
This particular point has a significance towards acupressure.
Location: About 3 inches above the medial ankle, behind the tibia is the acupressure point.
When you seat in PADHMASANA CORRECTLY, the pressure will be at this point.
This acupressure point corresponds to:
Curing of diseases like – Dysmenorrhea, Amenorrhea, Menorrhagia, Indigestion, Dyspnoea, Sex organ related diseases, sleeplessness, uterus pints (Corresponding to Uterus complaints). The pressure kept at this point, keeps the mind clean. It inhibits and checks the sexual cravings, which may distract the devotion, thereby improving the power of devotion ultimately leading to a divine bliss.
Thus the ASANA HELPS IN SOLVING THE PROBLEMS RELATED TO THE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM OF HUMAN BEINGS.
The ancient RISHI’s were good at gynecology. Don’t you agree?
So you see dear readers, there are so many unknown secrets in Hinduism! In todays world, majority of the so called 'Doctors' who have studied a lot of Science, even they, will not be able to answer the above issues. So if such knowledge is known to the people, then where would be the need to have doctors?
The RISHI’S used to wear a bracelet around the wrist in the hand. They used to say,
This will protect us from the evil eyes (So, called ghost affliction).
By listening to such words, people today will laugh! In this Y2K age, are you speaking about Black Magic! would be the reply.
The present day Psychiatrists proclaim that these are due to nervous deficiency. The nerve impulses need to be strengthened to relieve from the ailments.
But actually there was some hidden science in the words of the rishis. What was it exactly? Why did they claim that? If and how was it linked to the topic of Acupressure that we are discussing now? Let's know that in our next article.
