Heart

Heart

Your muscular heart, the main organ in your cardiovascular system, is vital for life. Its parts work together to move blood through your body in a coordinated way. It constantly sends oxygen to your cells and takes away waste. Many conditions can affect this organ and keep it from working well.

Heart weighs around 300gms, a muscular structure roughly equivalent to the size of a fist. we have 8 lakh kms of capillaries into which even the RBC cannot flow easily. It requires 142HP for one pump to cover this area, so what happens in the heart is actually not pumping, but  sucking from the veins into heart and then a twist and then whirling flow inside the blood vessel. Ex: Imagine how water in the bath tub sink hole whirls.

In narayana suktham written some 10000years ago, heart is described as lotus bud placed upside down at its root is a huge stalk which takes God’s energy to all parts of the body. 

anantam avyayam kaveem samudre-antam viSHvashambhuvam |
padmakosha-prateekaasham hrdayam caapyadhomukham ||

anantam (Who is without end) avyayam (and without destruction) kavim (and a
poet, all knowing) samudre (Who is in the sea) antam (and Who is within)
viSHva - sham - bhuvam (who brings well-being (sham) to all the world - I
meditate on that Narayana). hrdayam ca api (The heart which)  adho-mukham
(face down) padmakosha-prateekaasham (reveals itself like a lotus bud).

How true is it, with physics today, it is the energy of Rheology, energy of whirling that takes blood to every corner of the body.

 

The Left figure shows trunk in flexion

Weakness leads to

  • Improper posture
  • Specific areas stiffer
  • Specific areas overstretched

Strengthen by

  • Lumbar flexion
  • Building muscle strength
  • Relaxing the stiffness
  • Destraining the overstretched

Anatomy

Anterolateral muscles

  • the external oblique, internal oblique, transversus abdominis, rectus abdominis, and pyramidalis.

Anterior

  • psoas major and quadratus lumborum bilaterally

Physiology

Protects organs

The abdominal wall does not only contain and protect the intra-abdominal organs but can distend, generate intrabdominal pressure, and move the vertebral column.

Enables Movement

The abdominal muscles contribute to movements of the trunk, including flexion, extension, lateral flexion, and rotation.

Flexibility of the trunk

In contrast to the thorax and pelvis, the abdomen is relatively deficient in skeletal support, comprising of only the vertebral column and lower ribs posteriorly.
This relative bony deficiency allows flexibility of the trunk as well as distensibility to accommodate dynamic changes in the volume of abdominal contents

Stabilizing the trunk

contraction of abdominal muscles can facilitate the generation of intraabdominal and intrathoracic pressure critical in sneezing, coughing, vomiting, and defecating. This action may also help stabilize the trunk when lifting heavy loads.

Accessory to respiration

In times of increased physiological or pathological demand for airway ventilation, the anterolateral muscles (except transversus abdominis) act as accessory muscles of respiration by depressing the ribs to cause active expiration.

Yogic Managment

Human being is not just the combination of body and mind but something beyond this restricted limitations. We address the health of a being in all the planes of existence. Instead of addressing the symptoms of a condition, a 
holistic approach given in our ancient culture in literatures of Ayurveda, Yoga works on the root cause and builds a strong foundation.
