What
would you do if you had a perfect memory? Would you mug up the entire
dictionary? Or would you memorize all your appointments and meetings? Or will
this make it easier to remember your elaborate passwords?
Coming
back to reality, it is a sad fact that there is no such thing as the ‘perfect’
memory. However, if you feel that your memory is inadequate, then you can
certainly try to improve it. And in this noble undertaking, it is Yoga which has
the capacity to become your most trustworthy companion!
How Yoga improves memory
Regular
practice of Yoga improves your capacity to absorb, retain and recall
information. Moreover, Yoga also bolsters important mental capacities like
focus, cognitive analysis and processing sensory information.
Yogic
practices like Asana, Pranayama, Mudra and meditation increase blood
circulation, which help to calm the mind and enhance concentration skills. This
in turn makes it easier for you to memorize new information. You are less
likely to suffer from embarrassing lapses in memory if you practise Yoga
properly.
Through
the practice of Yoga, you too can improve memory power irrespective of your
age, intelligence, education or gender. It is time you took advantage of Yoga
to heal, strengthen and improve your innate memory capacity!
Memory-boosting Yoga
Now, let
us look at 3 simple techniques which you can practise to further strengthen
your memory. Follow them diligently every single day at a fixed time
(preferably in the morning) and you will notice positive results in no time.
1. Vrikshasana: It helps stretch up the muscles in the arms, back and
legs while simultaneously increasing blood circulation to the brain, thus
giving it access to fresh oxygen and nutrients. This ‘tree pose’ is also known
to improve concentration and reduce blurred thinking.
2. Bhramari Pranayama: It relieves mental tension, controls anger and
reduces the psychological effects of anxiety. This breathing technique is
highly effective in bringing stress under control in just a short period. Freed
from the wear-and-tear caused by everyday stress and your dull daily routine,
you will find it much easier to memorize new information.
3. Yoga Mudra: This meditative hand gesture
helps to create a serene atmosphere and pleasant mood, which in turn helps you dig
deep into your memory banks for the information you need. As you practise this
Mudra every day, you will find that it is becoming easier to recall stored
memories. By helping you come to terms with your worries, this Mudra also helps
you attain a mature and balanced perspective on your life.
