Healthy blood circulation and balanced blood pressure are essential to a good heart and a clear mind. Once these functions are weakened, the inner harmony of the body will be disrupted, and as a result, fatigue, stress, and, in the worst instance, an increased risk of stroke will appear. With breath awareness, discipline and mindful movement the body will be able to restore its balance and strength.

Some of the yogic methods are known to promote cardiovascular health, harmonization of the blood flow and stabilization of the nervous system in the ancient Himalayan traditions. Among them, there are the Siddha Walk and Healing Walk which are deep-rooted practices and combine breath, rhythm, and awareness to control energy and circulation in the whole body.

The Science Of The Circulation Of Yoga

The traditional yogic wisdom suggests that each heartbeat is an expression of the circulating prana the vital energy flowing through the subtle channels known as nadis. At equilibrium of this flow, oxygen is taken to all cells in an efficient manner, the mind relaxes and the heart beats in a regular manner. These methods develop awareness during the process of movement that trains the body to be calm even when a person is physically or emotionally stressed.

Siddha Walk: The Technique Of Inner Balance

Siddha Walk is another form of a meditation which involves walking in the form of an "8" radius. Every move is accompanied with powerful, rhythmic breathing to link both sides of the brain and unite body and mind. The soft movement and breathing facilitates relaxing the blood vessels which facilitates smoother movement and normal pulse.

How to Practice:

• Draw an "8" shape on the floor.
• Start a walk (11 minutes) South to North breathing slowly with your shoulders loose.
• After that, walk backwards (North to South) another 11 minutes.
• When this is done slowly, it can be increased to 21 minutes per side (42 minutes total).

The method of infinity walks is useful in controlling blood pressure, balancing the heart beat, improving oxygen supply in the body, and clearing the mind. To gain spiritual advantage, the practitioners can keep silence and a state of thoughtlessness when walking.

Circulatory Health Complementary Yogic Practices

Bhastrika Pranayama (Bellows Breath):
An active breathing that revitalizes the system and enhances the uptake of oxygen. A series of 20 breaths three times will jump-start the blood flow, open up the lungs and re-energize the mind.

Viparita Karani (Contacting the Wall Pose):
This healing position inverts the blood flow of the legs to the heart which relaxes the veins relieving the pressure on the lower limbs. A 5-7-minute daily practice is a calming factor to the nervous system and aids in circulation.

Tadasana (Mountain Pose) Deep Breathing.:
Tadasana with the emphasis on long and steady breathing helps to develop posture, straighten the spine and provide the proper blood circulation in the body. It develops a sense of balance, stability and inner calmness.

Healing Walk: The Reawakening Of Vital Energy

So Healing Walk is a simple and transformative method that would be applicable to any age group. It makes the heart and lungs stronger, and the nervous system better, as well as enhancing endurance and energy levels in general.

How to Practice:

• Stand erectly with arms at the level of shoulders and they are parallel to the ground.
• Start walking gradually keeping this posture.
• Begin with a 30-second per round five-rounds.
• It should be possible to start with each round at 1-2 minutes, gradually progressing over time to 5 minutes of constant movement.

The movement expands the chest, increases lung capacity and the coordination of the brain and the body. It assists in loosening the shoulders and the neck area and improves the moods and emotional stability.
