Long back, I got an opportunity to learn the technique of how to draw solar energy from a surya yogi.First he explained the beneficial effects of early morning sun rays on human body. Then , he taught us how to draw that solar energy through right concentration and breathing and then send it to every part of the body systematically. The whole process took fifteen minutes only, and we could feel light tingling sensation on each part of our body. Like this surya yoga, many other ancient techniques like, pranayama, yoga, meditation etc can rejuvenate body and mind in a short time , in a significant way. It is also proved that, when we inhale more oxygen and exhale more carbon dioxide, body glows and feels less hunger.
Our common belief is, restoration of bodily energy is possible , only by taking more food, drink and rest.Though there is some truth in it, but according to yoga theory, eighty percent of energy comes from right breathing and positive mental attitude, while twenty percent comes from food and rest.Over eating and wrong eating habits create many problems.As Yogananda said, "some thing that tastes good and fills the stomach, does not necessarily satisfy bodily needs." He also said, fresh fruits vegetables and nuts are very effective to supply energy. But heavy intake of protein can cause many ailments.
To maintain good health, good food habits and light exercises like walking, swimming, yoga etc should be combined. Proper breathing also keeps body mind healthy and glowing. It is better to be careful not to waste energy by useless and negative thoughts and actions.Through right actions and meditation , when life gets connected with its source, it becomes meaningful. Breaking the narrow wall of selfishness , it embraces life with love , compassion and self less service. This massage is echoed in these few lines of Tagore. He said,"Let me not project myself in my work. Let your will be done in mylife.Stand firm on the lotus of my heart, and protect me .
