Cyclic meditation consists of cycles of yoga postures interspersed with periods of supine rest. Practicing cyclic meditation reduced psychophysiological arousal based on a decrease in oxygen consumption and changes in the heart rate variability suggestive of a shift towards vagal dominance. Cyclic meditation improved the performance in a P300 event related potential task and also improved the performance in a letter cancellation task more than relaxation in the corpse posture (shavasana). Both tasks require selective attention and concentration. The benefits were ascribed to possible stress reducing effects of cyclic meditation, as the practice reduces physiological and cortical arousal.This was ascribed to reduced anxiety, though this was not assessed. The effects of cyclic meditation on MLAEPs have not been studied.Item Effect of Yoga Therapy on Chronic Low Back Pain - A Randomized Control Study(Saraswati Central Library, 2009-11) Padmini TekurBackground and need for the study; Previously, Outpatient Yoga Programs (in two of the earlier RCTs on Yog afor chrnic low back Pain (CLBP), 12 to 16 weeks of intervention) lasting several months have been found to reduce Pain, analgesic requirment and disability, and improve spinal mobility in chronic low back Pain ( CLBP ).Item REG Studies to Quantify the Changes in Consciousness Field Evoked by Some yoga practices, Agnihotra Yajna and Navaratri Festival.(SVYASA, 2010-01) Ghanshyam Singh ThakurYoga is getting popular engulfing the whole globe.

Even low prevalent conditions contribute to very high burden due to chronicity and progression to deficit states. Medications have made a change albeit with certain limitations. However, availability of psychiatrists as well as fear of stigma leaves a wide treatment gap. Indian systems of interventions like yoga carry a potential to complement these limitations.Item Effect of cyclic meditation on sleep architecture and subjective sleep rating(Saraswati Central Library, 2012-03-29) Sanjib Kumar PatraBACKGROUND Cyclic meditation (CM) is a technique in which yoga postures are interspersed with periods of supine rest in recurring cycles. AIM AND OBJECTIVES The present study was designed to • To compile the ancient information on sleep from ancient Indian scriptures and allied literature. • To study whether practicing cyclic meditation would influence the sleep structure in normal persons. • To compare the effects of practicing cyclic meditation in the day time with the effects of supine rest practice, on the heart rate variability during sleep.Item Self Management of Excessive Tension Module for Managerial Effectiveness(Sarswati Central Library, 2012-03-29) Tikhe Sham GanpatABSTRACT This study deals with the effects of a module of Yoga practices designed to relieve stress and improve emotional well-being of managers in a large Indian company.

Apart from routine teaching, I started research work in right earnest using animals for my study. I soon realized that yoga has great potential not only to improve our physiological functions, but also to prevent and manage stress and a host of chronic diseases that defy modern medicine. Modern medicine (allopathy) is based on linear Newtonian physics. It is disease-oriented (pathy). Allopathic drugs have many undesirable “side effects” and adverse drug reactions (ADR) kill many patients. In contrast, the holistic science of yoga is health-oriented and yogic techniques have desirable “side benefits”.Item Development of Human Potential through Yogic Practices assessed by Psychological and Health Variables(Saraswati Central Library, 2012-03-29) Sushil S KhemkaABSTRACT BACKGROUND: There are a large number of methods of yoga catering to the needs of different types of people in society to bring about the transformation of the individual.

Integral Yoga modules included all these four streams of yoga in our study.Item Effect of Yoga Based Lifestyle Program on Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) - A Randomized Controlled Trial(SVYASA, 2013-01-12) Nidhi ChoudharyPoly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is the most Common female endocrine disorder with prevalence estimates ranging from 2.2 percent to as high as 26 percent depending on the diagnostic criteria used and the ethnicity of the population Studied.Item Effects of yoga in High-Risk Pregnancy(SVYASA, 2013-01-12) Abbas, RakhshaniBoth Pregnancy and labor can be highly stressful events in any woman's life due to many physiological and psychological changes that may cause several problems. the psychological stress is magnified high-risk pregnancies, where there are higher chance of complications. in spite of mounting evidence with strong correlatin between maternal stress and pregnancy outcomes, the present conventional management of the pregnancy complications considers preterm delivery as the most viable treatment option, and this can substntially jeopardize the health of the newborn.
