Yoga Asanas, the Yoga Postures – How to Do Varjasana, the Diamond Pose
Vajrasana is one of the simplest Yoga Asanas. Anyone can do it without putting more stress on the parts of his or her body. There are certain benefits we can get by doing this asana.
It has been noticed that regular practice of this asana increases the secretion from the glands, which are vital for the physical and mental health of a person.
Along with other benefits of doing Yogic posture, Vajrasana helps the digestion process and assists in eliminating the gastric troubles. Those who have suffered from the pain in knee would be benefited by doing this posture.
One who practices this asana regularly does not suffer from fever, constipation, indigestion and other minor or major ailments. Your mind would also get stabilized in this asana. It is very useful while doing meditation, as it helps you becoming concentrated, focussed.
It is very easy to do Vajra Asana.
First of all sit on the floor by extending your legs forward and putting the palms resting. Then bend your one leg from the knee and put it just below the buttock. Repeat the same act for another leg, in a way that the things rest on the legs and the buttocks on the heels.
Keep the breathing at normal speed. Even if you do not try keeping the breath normal, it will catch its normal speed naturally! Put both the hands resting on thighs and sit erect. You might feel some pain in ankles, knees or toes; but gradually it will be set right.
Sit in this posture as long as you can.
