New Delhi, October 11 (IANS). In today’s busy life, problems like stress and anxiety have become common, due to which problems like insomnia, restlessness while sleeping, wandering of mind and lack of rest etc. have become common. To get relief from this, many people resort to expensive treatments and medicines, but even then there is no effect. According to the Ministry of AYUSH, Yogasana is a natural method that can help in eliminating these problems. The special thing is that some easy yoga asanas will not only give you deep sleep but will also reduce the stress of the day.
Vajrasana: This asana can be done even after eating. This improves blood circulation in the body, which helps the digestive system. When digestion remains fine, problems like acidity and constipation are reduced, which often become a hindrance to sleep. If you sit in Vajrasana for five to ten minutes after eating, your stomach gets relief and you also fall asleep quickly. The method of sitting in Vajrasana is simple: sit on your knees, toes touching each other and keep the heels apart. Keeping the body straight, close the eyes and concentrate on breathing. This asana also reduces lower back pain, which occurs due to sitting for long periods of time. This increases the quality of sleep and also calms the mind.
Yashtikasana: This is a yoga asana that relaxes both the body and mind. It stretches the spine and reduces back pain. This asana eliminates restlessness by removing stress and muscle stiffness, which keeps the mind calm while sleeping. To do this, lie down on your back, spread your legs and keep your hands next to the body. Then slowly spread the hands on the ground above the head. Hold this stretch position for six seconds and then relax. Repeat this four-five times. This stretch relaxes the muscles and completely prepares the mind for sleep.
Bhadrasana: This yoga asana is very helpful in giving peace to the mind. In this asana, bend both your legs at the knees and join them with the soles and keep pressing the knees slowly towards the floor. Place your hands on your stomach and breathe comfortably. This asana not only increases blood flow in the lower back but also stretches the thigh muscles. This stretch relieves restlessness and stabilizes the mind, which is essential for sleep.
