People with below average height long to grow taller so as to take a better view of the world. Though height doesn’t really matter in the final analysis as it doesn’t take away 0.1 mm from your inherent qualities, doesn’t dictate your personality or your achievements.
In fact, some of the biggest powerhouses of the world were short in height. Mahatma Gandhi, the great Indian freedom fighter was 5’5”. Voltaire, a French philosopher and writer was 5’3”. Yuri Gagarin a famous Soviet astronaut was 5’2”. Shawn Johnson is short even for a gymnast – just 4’9’’. The quirky Lady Gaga is a mere 5’1”.
But what if you wish to grow taller anyway? Is there a way to increase height naturally?
Yes! Yoga can make you grow taller by addressing a few key issues. Essentially, yoga stretches your spine, lengthens your back and leg muscles, and improves your posture. It also detoxifies your body, thus spurring the growth of healthy cells. A regular and consistent yoga schedule reduces stress and relaxes you. This, in turn, releases growth hormones which increases the height naturally.

#4 choose a meditation technique that you enjoy and find effective and stick to it It is better not to keep changing techniques. We suggest practising either Sahaj Samadhi Meditation or Hari Om meditation. However, if you really like one of the other guided meditations from Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar then by all means practise that. #5 Make your meditation as effective and enjoyable as possible by preparing for your session Within the time you have at your disposal, prepare for your meditation with a few stretches and some pranayama, such as bhastrika and nadi shodhana pranayama, if you know them, or chant Om or Om Namah Shivaya out loud for a few minutes. It doesn’t take long to get into “the zone” and it’s worthwhile to spend a few minutes calming the chattering mind before beginning your meditation. However if you don’t have time to prepare, just chant Om three times and start. #6 Turn off your internal phone and that little plastic and metal one as well Make a con...
What if being happy could be like building muscles at the gym while doing sit-ups, or running on the treadmill or perhaps lifting weights? What if we could train ourselves to stay happy throughout the day? And what if this constant source of happiness could be achieved with closed eyes?
