Effect of Yogic Practices on Alpha Brain Waves and Adjustment Neuroticism on University Students By: Shreedhar Acharya

Abstract

Background: The Yoga practices including Asana, Pranayama, Mudra-Bandha and Meditation are now widely used to treat and protect from various diseases around the world. The Yoga has significant effect on physical, vital, mental, intellectual and spiritual dimension of human life. These facts have been proved by various modern and old researches carried out since it was pioneered by Swami Kuvalayananda in 1924. The effect of Yogic practices on relaxation (especially release of alpha waves by brain) and ability to adjust easily in surrounding around are profound. But this kind of research on collective effect of Yoga on Alpha waves and adjustment neuroticism is very rare. So, we have focused on Yogic effect on these two parameters among University students doing 6 months course in this research.

Purpose: The purpose of the study is to assess the effect of Yogic practices like Asana, Pranayama, Mudra-Bandha and Meditation on mental ability to relax itself through generation of Alpha waves and to adjust effectively to its environment with emotional stability.

Research Methodology: The certificate students of Dev Sanskriti Vishwavidyalaya (DSVV) (N₁=20, N₂=13) participated in this single group pre-post study. The Alpha waves measurement of 20 students and feedback of 15 students were collected within a span of 1 month using Alpha EEG Biofeedback Machine and questionnaire of Adjustment Neuroticism respectively.

Sample and Sampling: This research was carried out using Accidental Sampling where we randomly assigned subjects as per their availability.

Research Design: This research was formulated using single group pre-test and post-test module.

Tools: Two major tools were used for the study. One of them is Alpha EEG Biofeedback. It is the process of monitoring and displaying to an individual the ongoing Alpha EEG activity generated by the brain developed by Hans Berger of Germany in 1929. Another tool used for the test is questionnaire based Adjustment Neuroticism developed by Dr. Ram Narayan Singh and Dr. Mahesh Bhargava. It measures the mental ability of an individual to adjust proficiently in the environment around him/her.

Procedure: The Yogic intervention in the study was Yogic package of 1 hour and 15 minutes including Asana, Pranayama, Mudra-Bandha, Om-chanting and Meditation for a period of 1 month in morning time.

Statistical Analysis: For carrying out analysis of the data obtained we used t-Test: Paired Two Sample for Means with the help of MS-Excel.

Result: The Alpha Brain-waves significantly increased while measuring pre and post data i.e. (M₁=9.13, M₂=10.11). The first (M₁= 8.85, M₂= 6.54), the second (M₁= 8.31, M₂= 5.92), third (M₁= 13.38 , M₂= 10.84), fourth (M₁= 18.3 , M₂= 15.69), fifth (M₁= 8.38 , M₂= 6.15), sixth (M₁= 9, M₂= 7.61) and seventh (M₁= 14.46, M₂= 11.69) dimension of Adjustment Neuroticism were significantly and positively affected.

Conclusion: The Yogic package including Asana, Pranayaam, Mudra-Bandha and Meditation has significant positive affect on the production of Alpha Brain-waves and reduction of Neuroticism in all dimensions among the practitioners, if practiced under strictly controlled environment.

Key words: Yogic practices, Alpha EEG Biofeedback, Adjustment Neuroticism

Effect of Hathayogic practices on Human Heart and Circulatory System

Title: Effect of Hathayogic practices on Human Heart and Circulatory System

By : Shreedhar Acharya

MA Applied Yoga and Human Excellence

DSVV, Haridwar.

Abstract: In 1980s, Hathayoga got international exposure when some Indian Hathyogis went to America and started preaching there. In the same period, Dean Ornish, MD, a medical researcher and follower of Swami Satchidananda, connected Hathayoga to Heart Health. This phenomenon led to a kind of Hathayoga boom in the western world. It was started to be used as preventive and curative tool to deal with heart as well as other diseases. But Hathayoga’s promotional goal was neglected.

The very purpose of carrying out this short theoretical research is to collect the preventive, curative and promotive benefits of the Hathayogic techniques regarding Heart and the circulatory system. By preventive benefits, we mean how the Hathayogic practices like Asana, Pranayama, Mudra-Bandh,Dhyan, Shatkarma etc. help to prevent heart problems. For example, in case of high blood pressure the practice of Dhyan as well as asana like Shavasana dilate and constrict the blood vessels as per requirement to bring the pressure to normal. In curative benefits, we find that during Meditation the awareness is dissociated from the physical body and made one-pointed where brain produces alpha and theta waves. The breath and heart rate are lowered and the whole body enjoys deep rest. In this state the blood vessels dilate and oxygenated pure blood reaches the body organs, rejuvenating and repairing damaged tissues and blood vessels around the body. The sacred Hathyogic texts maintain that by Hathayogic practices a yogi can enlarge the emotions to encompass the whole universe and feel Oneness with the creation which can be noted as highly promotive advantage of Hathayoga with regard to heart. These experiences are above science which we have today. So it doesn’t agree with those supernatural happenings. Still, in physiology of heart too we find the promotive effect of yoga. For instance, Dr. Prakash C. Malshe proclaims in his research that Pranayama (especially in case of breath holding) causes hypoxia (lack of oxygen) and that is what protects the heart by leading to formation of coronary collaterals or new blood vessels in the heart: “a natural bye pass”. Collateral circulation offers an important alternative source of blood supply when the original vessels fail to provide sufficient blood.

In this way, in this short theoretical research we have tried to collect the preventive, curative and promotive effect of Hathayogic practices on circulatory system and human heart, which is the center of whole circulation of blood that occurs for nourishing and enlivening every cells of the body.

युग ऋषि के सन्देश (Message of Yugrishi to Youths)

सम्पूर्ण क्रांति की संजीवनी युवा वर्ग

 “किसी एक अंग में फोड़ा हो तो उसे थोडा सा चीरकर मवाद निकला जा सकता है , पर जब पूरा शरीर मवाद से भर गया हो तो सम्पूर्ण कायाकल्प के अचूक विधान तलाशने पड़ेंगे ! देश की जो दशा आज है , उससे छोटी – मोती क्रांतियो से काम चलने वाला नहीं है ! इसके लिए तो संपूर्ण क्रांति की संजीवनी चाहिए ! यह महा साहस तो देश की युवा पीढ़ी ही कर सकती है ! युवा पीढ़ी से हमें बहुत आशा है ! इन्हें लेकर हमने अनेक सपने बुने है ! बड़े गर्व और विश्वास के साथ कहा जा सकता है कि राष्ट्र की युवा चेतना यदि चेत गई तो भारत माता  यशस्विनी बनेगी ! जब हम युवा पीढ़ी की सामर्थ्य पर यकीन  करते हुए भविष्य को निहारते है , हमारे मुख पर ख़ुशी छा जाती है ! भारत का भविष्य उज्जवल है , परन्तु वर्तमान की दुरावस्था हमें दारुण दुःख देती  है !”

युवाओ अपने को पहचानो

“ नौजवानों  ! याद रखो , जिस दिन तुम्हे अपने हाथ , पैर और दिल पर भरोसा हो जायेगा , उशी दिन तुम्हारी अंतरात्मा कहेगी – बाधाओं को कुचलकर तू अकेला चल , अकेला ! सफलता का शीतल आँचल तेरे माथे का पसीना पोछने के लिए दूर हवा में फहरा रहा है !

   जिन व्यक्तियों पर तुमने आशा के विशाल महल बना रखे है , वे कल्पना के व्योम में बिहार करने के सामान अस्थिर , सारहीन , खोखले हैं! अपनी आशा को दूसरों में संश्लिष्ट कर देना स्वयं अपनी मोलिकता का ह्रास कर अपने साहस को पंगु कर देना है ! जो व्यक्ति दूसरो की सहायता पर जीवन यात्रा करता है , वह शीघ्र  अकेला रह जाता है ! अकेला रह जाने पर उसे अपनी मुर्खता का ज्ञान होता है !”
