Benefits of Sudarshan Kriya (SKY) on mental well being of humans
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 7
Abstract
A fast-paced life comes along with various physical and emotional stresses which affect our mental wellness at level which we are unaware of. Although, in the recent few years, disorders related to mental wellness have been given importance, there still exists a negligence and inhibition regarding the treatment of such disorders. Yoga and pranayama have been well documented in the ancient Indian scriptures as a tool for maintaining a well-balanced life. These techniques are believed to work at the molecular level inside our bodies and relieve the hidden stress and trauma. We review the effectiveness of Sudarshan Kriya, a breathing technique, on the mental condition of people suffering from various disorders like anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder and generalised stress. The review highlights the beneficial outcomes of regular practice of breathing exercises on our mental well being
