Yoga Holidays Tours Travel In Egypt

What are we talking about?

We are talking mainly about "Healing Traditions" There is a spiritual source in India which is at this time exerting a powerful influence on the Western world.Recently, the modern medicine has led to a growing interest in ancient proven healing methods. Western medicine is organized around the theory of diseases, which believes that a person becomes sick because he or she contracts a disease. Each disease is seen as an independent entity that can be fully understood without regard to the person it afflicts or the environment in which it occurs. Thus, conventional treatments are treatments of diseases, not of people.

In contrast to the Western system of medicine, traditional systems of healing in India, as in other ancient cultures, approach sickness as a dynamic event in the life of an individual. It is the result of disharmony between the sick person and his or her environment. Under this approach to understanding illness, the "disease" itself has no independent reality. The therapeutic focus is always on the person who is ill and the context in which the illness occurs, rather than on the disease itself.

More and more people are moving away from modern medicines and turning towards traditional, also referred to as "alternative" systems of medicine, for enhancing health and treating illness.Today, one can choose from various systems of alternative medicine; Yoga and meditation , charka therapy , Ayurveda , gem therapy , Aromatherapy , Unani medicine, mud therapy, Reiki, Tibetan medicine and many more.

Now, what about yoga in Egypt?

Yoga is a combination of breathing exercises, physical postures, and meditation. The term Yoga came from a Sanskrit word meaning to join together. It feels you with unity during working with all your body, mind and soul to be one unit. The word Yoga means to join or to unite. It is the means by which our mind can be made still, quite, and free from all distractions.

The body is the house in which the heart and mind are reunited. When we practice Yoga, we try to bring together the light of our heart and the light of our mind to make them one. The ultimate aim in yoga is to unite the human soul with the universal spirit. The practice of Yoga provides mental peace and at the same time, a consciousness of one's own body. Certain postures develop suppleness and balance, others strengthen muscles.

Yoga was developed about five thousand years ago. The first written description was found in "Yoga Sutras", attributed to Patanjali. According to Patanjali, within the human body there are channels called Nadi and centres called Chakra. If theses channels and centers are tapped, energy hidden in the body can be released. This energy is called Kundalini.

Patanjali stated eight stages of Yoga, the Yama (universal moral commandments), Niyama (self- purification through discipline), Asana (posture), Pranayama (breath- control), Pratyahara (withdrawal of mind from external objects), Dharana (concentration), Dhyana (meditation) and Samadhi (state of super-consciousness). Besides the different stages present in Yoga, there are various forms of discipline touching different aspects of human life. These disciplines include Hathayoga (physical exercise), Gyanyoga or Dhyanyoga (exercise for the mind and intellect) and Karmayoga (disciplined actions in daily life).

What are the benefits of Yoga?

This ancient health and fitness practice provides both physical and mental therapy. It considers ageing as largely an artificial condition, caused mainly by autointoxication or self- poisoning. By keeping the body parts clean and well-lubricated, cell deterioration can be greatly reduced. To get the maximum benefits of yoga one has to follow three main guidelines: practice of Asanas, Pranayama and Yoga Nidra.

With the regular practice of asanas, we can control our cholesterol level, reduce weight, normalize blood pressure and improve cardiac performance. Asanas harmonize our mental energy flow by clearing any blockages in the subtle body, leading to mental equilibrium and calmness.

The practice of pranayama, the correct breathing technique, helps to manipulate our energies. Most of us breathe incorrectly (only thoracic ally not using our abdomen, thereby utilizing only half of our lung capacity). Pranayama is a technique wherein it re-educates our breathing process, helps to release tensions and develop a relaxed state of mind. It balances our nervous system, reduces the need for sleep and encourages creative thinking. Increasing oxygen to our brain,improves mental clarity, alertness and physical well being.

Yoga Nidra is a form of meditation. Performed while lying on the back in the Shavasana pose, it relaxes the physiological and psychological systems. This technique completely rejuvenates the body and mind, giving a sense of well being.

Yoga at Pyramid

The meaning of the word Pyramid is “fire in the middle”, derived from the Latin Pyra (Greek pur), meaning fire or light. What is this fire in the middle and how is it created?

A pyramid structure, with closed or open sides, creates a vital center of electromagnetic energy if it is constructed to the same proportional dimensions as the Great Pyramid of Giza and if one of its straight sides is facing true north. As long as the pyramid is aligned to the north-south magnetic axis it will become “changed”. The space within the pyramid accumulates and intensifies energy, generating an energy field with unusual properties.

In the Secret Power of Pyramid, Bill Schul and Ed Pettit report that people spending time sitting beneath pyramids have claimed relief from many ailments. In their chapter on “Healing Powers” they report that healing has occurred rapidly in cases of sprains, cuts, bruises, toothache, backache, strains, congestion and infections. They mention that people sitting within Pyramids sometimes report seeing a blue light, which research has shown to have cooling, healing properties.

In Pyramid power, Max Toth and Greg Nielsen state that people sitting or sleeping near even a model pyramid have reported the alleviation or disappearance of pain or symptoms of illness. Schul and Pettit postulate that the pyramid energy field tends to produce healthier functioning of cells, tissues and organs. They point out that since the pyramid shape offers a heightened energy field, while a cube inhibits energy, it does not serve us to live in cube-shaped homes.

(Not surprisingly, people experience enhanced effects when meditating beneath pyramids. Changes in the mediator’s aura electromagnetic field) have been noted with Kirlian photography-auras become brighter and larger. Mediators report deeper relaxation, an enhanced sense of well-being and increased levels of awareness. The positive energy flow in the pyramid facilitates deeper focus.

Bill Schul and Ed Pettit researched the effects of meditation inside a pyramid by asking people to try it for the first time and describe their experiences. The common feelings were of calmness, peace, harmony and relaxation, as well as mild euphoria, feelings of being “change” with renewed energy and sense of detachment from the physical world and everyday concerns. Some experimenters experienced a focus of energy on their heart. One reported: “The first impression was peaceful silence and I was very aware of my heart. There was a power of some kind going to the heart or coming from the heart. The entire body seemed to take on a vibration –atingle”

People meditating in a pyramid regularly have received strong spiritual and psychic impressions, as well as enhanced dreams and visions, vivid visual imagery and increased memory recall.
