- Pranayama
We are about to begin Breathing Activities and Pranayama for the Special Kids from the month of NOVEMBER onwards… By introducing simple breathing activities we are preparing the kids for the practice of Pranayama to achieve remarkable benefits both Physiologically and Psychologically. As these kids don’t experience a complete deep inhalation and exhalation, it is mandatory to introduce simple breathing techniques to attain overall improvements. As breathing remains the only connection or the bridge between the brain and the external environment, changes in the patterns of breath can impact the functions of the brain especially in such kids. Notable changes tend to occur in their behavior and attention.
Program Schedule
We are about to begin simple basic level breathing activities for the kids from the month of November’17 on Tuesdays and Thursdays alone for 15 mins instead of AIT. We recommend all the parents to follow the diet pattern to observe remarkable changes.
Physiological effects of Pranayama
- Increased supply of oxygen to the brain (Generally Autistic kids have a poor or reduced supply of oxygen to the brain because of their shallow breathing)
- Reduces or controls Convulsions (Fits/ Epilepsy) (Though the cause of convulsions is unknown, uncontrolled electrical impulses may be a contributing factor which is controlled by proper breathing practices)
- Aids in efficient purification of the blood. (Shallow breathing usually leaves the blood without being completely purified by the lungs)
- Improves the vital capacity of the lungs, thereby eliminating Carbon dioxide more efficiently. (Such kids tend to have reduced neural activity because of increased carbon dioxide in their blood)
- Improves the immune response and thereby prevents acute conditions such as fever, frequent cold and wheezing. (Such kids are prone to frequent infections because of drastic immune suppression)
Psychological effects
- Activates the parasympathetic nervous system, thereby calming their aggressive activities. Kids begin to concentrate much better gradually showing improvements in their attention and reduction in their hyperactivity.
- It suppresses the excitatory impulses to the brain, thereby reducing their impulsive nature.
“If they can’t learn the way we teach, we teach the way they learn…”
Persistence and patience are the key factors required when a kid is under Naturopathic and Yoga interventions. LET US KNOW AUTISM BETTER………..!
