De longen (net als de rest van je lichaam) zijn zelfreinigende organen. Nadat de longen zijn geïnfecteerd, kan je borst vol, verstopt of ontstoken aanvoelen. Hier zijn een aantal methodes die je kunnen helpen om slijm uit je longen te verdrijven en andere ongemakkelijke symptomen te verlichten. Yogahoudingen. Alle houdingen waarbij je heupen hoger liggen dan je longen kunnen helpen. Denk hierbij aan alle inversies in je yoga practice. Als je ziek bent, zijn houdingen als de ondersteunde brughouding “Setu Bandha Sarvangasana” of de rugligging met je benen die tegen de muur rusten “Viparita Karani” beter geschikt. Andere houdingen die je kunt proberen (die ik ook regelmatig in mijn yogalessen gebruik) zijn: Om de voorkant van je longen af ​​te tappen Ga op je rug op bijvoorbeeld een yogamat of een bed liggen. Leg twee kussens onder je heupen, zodat je borstkas lager is dan je heupen. Leg eventueel een klein kussen onder je hoofd. Blijf net zo lang in deze houding liggen als comfortabel voor je is. Om de zijkanten van je longen af ​​te tappen Doe deze stap terwijl je aan één kant ligt. Draai je dan om en doe het aan de andere kant. Leg twee of drie kussens onder je heupen om ze te verhogen. Gebruik eventueel weer een klein kussen onder je hoofd. Zorg ervoor dat je borstkas lager is dan je heupen. Gebruik de buikademhaling. Wissel na 5 of 10 minuten van kant. Om de achterkant van je longen af ​​te tappen Ga op je buik liggen. Leg twee of drie kussens onder je heupen en eventueel weer een klein kussen onder je hoofd. Plaats je armen bij je hoofd, gebruik ook nu weer de buikademhaling. Buikademhaling. Om je zoveel mogellijk te ontspannen en je immuunsysteem zo goed mogelijk te laten werken, kun je de buikademhaling toepassen. Leg hiervoor één hand op je buik en de andere hand op je borst. Adem in en duw je buik hierbij zo ver mogelijk naar buiten, je voelt dan de hand op je buik omhoog bewegen, terwijl de hand op je borst niet mag bewegen. Wanneer je uitademt, voel je de hand op je buik naar beneden bewegen, terwijl de hand op je borst opnieuw niet beweegt. Percussie op de borst en rug. Cup je hand en tik zachtjes op je borst en rug. Het tikken maakt het slijm in je longen los. Vermijd je ruggengraat en borstbeen. Het kan gemakkelijker zijn om iemand anders voor je op je rug te laten tikken. Je kunt in bovenstaande houdingen gaan liggen, de buikademhaling toepassen en tegelijkertijd met je vingers tikken om het slijm in je longen los te krijgen. LET OP: Als je ziek bent, ga naar de dokter! De houdingen in dit artikel kunnen fijn zijn bij herstel, om het laatste slijm weg te krijgen.

How can yoga as a lifestyle help you to stay healthy? The Yamas and Niyamas are a kind of code of conduct for yogis. They show what you can do to make your life more beautiful and meaningful. The five Yamas refer to society and the five Niyamas refer to yourself. They are somewhat like the Ten Commandments of Christianity. The first Yama is "Ahimsa". Ahimsa means nonviolence and respect for all life. Ahimsa asks us to put our best foot forward, stay brave and in balance, love yourself and feel compassion for others. Know your fears, but remain combative. Look at the choices and options you can make at any time. Keep your balance by listening to your inner voice. Take the time to be quiet for at least five minutes twice a day, preferably once in the morning and once in the evening. Spend time in nature every day try to look at the world around you without judgment. The first Niyama is "Saucha". Saucha means purity in the physical and relational area. In the physical area to cleanse your body, your thoughts and your words.  In the relational area to be sincere and pure to your relationships. For this blog I focus in this Niyama on cleansing your body. Rinse your nose with salted water ("Jala Neti") using a neti pot or nasal rinse to keep the sinuses clean and prevent scabs and infections. Clean your tongue with a tongue scraper ("Jihwa Prakshalana") which can freshen breath and allow a better taste experience while eating. Overall they work together to yield a better working immune system. Indeed, it is possible to remove toxins on the tongue thanks to a tongue cleaner, which are otherwise absorbed into the body and then result in a deteriorating immune system. Massage your body with an oil ("Abhyanga"), for example, sesame oil. Sesame seeds contain high quantities of basic omega 6 fatty acid (linoleic acid) and vitamin B6. This is important for your tissues and has a positive effect on your mind. In addition, the massage stimulates your lymph system and calms your nervous system. As a cross comparison, I have only discussed the first Yama and the first Niyama here, I invite you to take your time and delve further into them. This is the path of Gyana Yoga.

In my previous blog I wrote how "Ahimsa" (Yama) and "Saucha" (Niyama) can help you through this time of the Corona Virus. The Yamas and Niyamas are a kind of code of conduct for yogis. They show you what you can do to make your life more beautiful and meaningful. Changing circumstances and uncertainty can put you off balance. In this blog I will go deeper into how "Satya" (Yama) and "Santosha" (Niyama) can contribute to your wellness balance. "Satya" is the second Yama and means being true and consistent with reality in one's thought, speech and action. You can explain truth in different ways. First, this means that you must speak the truth. This time of sitting at home will help bring you back to yourself. We must distance ourselves from our social life in which your status or other external factors are determined. At home you are thrown back on yourself. Are you honest and / or nice to your housemates? Is what you say, what you think and what you do in line with each other? Ask yourself these three questions before you speak: "Is what I am going to say true?", "Is what I am going to say necessary?", and "Is what I am going to say friendly?". If you meet these conditions before you speak, you are reliable or “authentic”. If you are authentic, you live from the inside out: you have nothing to lose, you can live your life lighter, more confident and with more energy. Secondly, reference is made here to your integrity, to your life and to yourself. As yoga practitioners, we are guided with what to do and what not to do to live longer and healthier. Are you living up to those guidelines? Consider this to be another chance to look at yourself lovingly! You will probably have to find a new balance in your daily routine, possibly together with your housemates. Try to spend time and practice patience with that. See this also as part of your journey of discovery. "Santosha" is the second Niyama and means satisfaction. Take a look around at what you do have and be thankful for that. For example, I finish my yoga practice with three deep breaths and with every exhalation I mention something I am grateful for. The challenge to be satisfied is of course always present. On social media it seems as if everyone lives a fantastic, interesting and beautiful life with the most beautiful photos as proof. Now - more than ever - you can look at the beautiful things in your own life, not through the eyes of others, but through your own eyes. Being satisfied means falling in love with your own life. In the next blog I will discuss the Yama: "Asteya" which can be translated as "do not steal" and the Niyama "Tapas" which means discipline. Be thankful, trust the moment and help others.
