Am I taking care of my physical body to the best of my ability? How I can treat my physical body with more care?

The Physical Body is the 5th of the ten bodies.

The Physical Body was crafted so you could enjoy a human life. It is the balance point between heaven and earth. The key to perfecting this body is balance—balance in body and mind, balance in diet and exercise, balance in play, work, and rest. The Physical Body could be said to be the sacred, living, human form that houses the soul, through which enlightenment and service to humanity are manifested. 

Resources to Support Working with the Physical Body

If your Physical Body is weak, you may feel that the body can’t support your needs. If your Physical Body is too strong, you may have an obsession with physical appearance and abilities. If your Physical Body is balanced and strong, all parts of your life are in balance, without extremes like self-indulgence or fanaticism. You meet others at their level and elevate them with your vitality, and by teaching balanced living.

Keeping the Body Beautiful

The body is a temple of human expression and grace. We are often told by the media and friends that it wears out, has many illnesses, and is extremely fragile. In fact, the body is sensitive and self-repairing.

Sun Salution (Surya Namaskar)

Sun Salutation increases cardiac activity and circulation, stretches and bends the spine, massages the inner organs, aids the digestive system, exercises the lungs, and oxygenates the blood. When practiced with awareness, this improves one’s ability to maximize performance and enjoyment of all yoga postures.

Managed Energy Meditation

With regular practice, this kriya will help bring the glandular system and the psyche into equilibrium, so that the glandular system is regulated by the full self, and not just our fragmented neuroses. When the total self works together in harmony, that is the experience of ecstasy.

Your Contribution Matters

Maybe a new teacher in Thailand is looking for a particular kriya. Or a lifelong student in Chicago wants a recipe for the weekend. Or someone who’s struggling in Australia and needi to hear about Seva and the solstice celebration. 3HO is for everyone, everywhere looking for connections to resources, inspiration, and community events as they engage in the path of Kundalini Yoga in their life.

Every day, someone gets on a yoga mat for the first or the thousandth time and uses 3HO resources — videos, posts, lives — to guide their practice. We are grateful for your support, as we expand our digital resources.
