El Corazón en el Verano.
Estación mágica, con
extensas horas de luz y temperaturas elevadas. Nos permite disfrutar del día intensamente,
aprovechando la plenitud de su generosidad,
nos regala sus mejores frutos y vegetales, para una dieta acorde, podemos
tomar Sol (respetando los cuidados indispensables) capitalizando su
energía y si vamos ir más allá, conectarnos
con la tierra, mimarnos alimentándonos, mental, espiritual y físicamente en la
naturaleza.
Los órganos que más trabajan en esta época, son el corazón e
intestino delgado. Hablemos específicamente del corazón, nunca descansa,
moviliza cada día diez mil litros de sangre, transporta los nutrientes y el
oxígeno nuevo recorriendo venas y arterias, llegando a cada célula, recibiendo de los pulmones la sangre purificada
y encargándose de distribuirla, así
también recibe la sangre impura, que sabiamente retorna a los pulmones para completar, este circuito
de vida.
El corazón resiente las emociones de los demás órganos, la
ira del hígado, la pena de los pulmones, el miedo de los riñones, la mezquindad
de los intestinos, a él particularmente la medicina china le atribuye la
alegría. Entonces una de las claves es mantenerse en estado de alegría, y
trabajar en nuestro interior para ir alejando las emociones que nos perjudican.
Haciendo cambios en el estilo de vida, alimentación,
evitando sedentarismo, realizando actividades recreativas, sociabilizando, etc.
No solo mejoramos corazón, sino también peso, tensión y azúcar en sangre.
No es un dato menor que las estatinas (fármacos diseñados
para evitar la acumulación del colesterol malo, o LDL, en las arterias
coronarias) son uno de los medicamentos más prescriptos a nivel mundial. De
acuerdo con algunos estudios además aumentan la esperanza de vida en hombres.
Según el Dr. Ornish, fundador del Instituto de Investigación de Medicina
Preventiva en California,” el enfoque
holístico de la enfermedad cardiovascular, sigue funcionando mejor para algunas
personas”.
Lo que ingerimos es
muy importante en el factor holístico. El Dr. Ornisch aprendió aspectos de la
dieta de Swami Satchidananda , que
incluye amplia variedad de verduras, frutas, granos integrales y legumbres. 3 ó
4 grs. Al día de ácidos grasos omega 3 (derivado de las algas o del pescado azul,
que haya sido liberado de tóxinas ). Consumir alimentos de soja naturales y sin
refinar (como por ejemplo, el miso, nada de productos con proteína de soja
aislada o proteína de soja hidrolizada). Según sus estadísticas, sus pacientes
siguiendo la misma, obtuvieron beneficios considerables.
El estrés perjudica mucho el corazón, hace que la placa se
acumule muy rápidamente en las arterias coronarias, además ocasiona que las
mismas se constriñan reduciendo el flujo sanguíneo y
espesando las plaquetas,
facilitando así la formación de coágulos de sangre que precipitan un ataque
cardíaco.
Qué es lo que aporta el Yoga?
Ante todo prevención, disminución del estrés, aumenta la resistencia a las enfermedades,
ayuda a reducir emociones negativas,
como el enfado, la hostilidad y la impaciencia, todas ellas relacionadas con
los ataques cardíacos.
En la parte espiritual en verano
Además de vaciar nuestra mente, es ideal también para el
perdón (perdonar y perdonarse).” Si tu
compasión no te incluye, es incompleta ” dice Buda.
Aprovechemos además
esta hermosa energía para abrir nuestro corazón, cambiar de rutinas, incorporar
personas nuevas a nuestro entorno, evaluar otras ópticas, remontar proyectos y
disfrutar de la vida.

espacios libres entre los dientes, incorporando el aire fresco, se exhala por

para realizar en verano.
Sentados cómodamente, con la espalda bien derecha, con
las palmas hacia arriba apoyadas en nuestros muslos, cerramos los ojos e
imaginamos nuestra flor preferida. Inspiramos y exhalando, relajamos caderas y
las entregamos al suelo, estiramos la columna como si se tratara del tallo de
la flor, inhalamos nuevamente y
exhalando, aflojamos los hombros y los separamos de nuestra nuca como si
fueran las hojas. Nos mantenemos así unas diez (10) respiraciones, todas ellas
lentas inhalando y exhalando siempre por nariz. Sentimos la luz del día, en el
rostro y en el cuerpo, en cada inhalación, nos imaginamos que nuestro cuerpo
absorbe la luz. Y en cada exhalación
relajamos una parte más del cuerpo, empezando por frente, ojos, párpados, nariz,
boca, mandíbula, mientras seguimos absorbiendo luz. Relajando en cada exhalación y en las
próximas diez (10) respiraciones tratamos de aflojar plexo cardíaco, y seguimos
incorporando luz, relajamos tensión de pecho, espalda y abdomen, en las próximas diez (10)
respiraciones relajamos brazos y piernas, seguimos inspirando y exhalando
pensando en que la luz, recorre todo nuestro cuerpo como si fuésemos una planta
que está floreciendo, que está floreciendo nuestra flor preferida, muy luminosa.
Cuando sientes que estás completo, une las palmas frente al corazón e inclina
la cabeza apenas hacia abajo, puedes hacer varias respiraciones allí, y luego
lentamente vas volviendo para abrir ojos y contemplar las maravillas del verano
en toda su plenitud, y sentirte pleno energizado y distendido. Namasté!
