My recent post on Solar Breathing and SAD actually received some hits, so I'm inspired to write more about things I've found that have helped me 'get the victory' over this disorder.
VITAMIN D - 'tablet sunshine' brings in that extra sunshine, and is also necessary to protect our aging bones from osteoporosis. Vitamin D3 from cholacalciferol is the variety needed by post-menospausal women. Dr. Donald Yance cautions us to take Vitamin D only during winter months. I've found that 400 IU daily is quite enough, when taken along with fish oils and calcium - my personal recipe for post-menopausal verve.
Here is more from Donald Yance, an alternative health care cancer specialist, on the perks of Vitamin D:
"Vitamin D helps to prevent colon and breast cancers. It is theorized that vitamin D binds iwth calcium and reduces the turnover rate of the cells that line the colon. Cells that don't turn over are very resistant to carcinogens.
"Vitamin D has an inhibitory effect of episomes, submicroscopic circular DNA molecules that carry amplified oncogenes as well as amplified drug-resistant genes. Vitamin D3 is reported to inhibit the incorporation of of messages at chromosomal sites, thereby providing a strategy that might make some episomes more susceptible to elimination.
"Vitamin D may have the ability to inhibit the proliferative activity of hormones, such as estrogen in breast cancer, and has been shown to suppress breast and prostate cancer growth. Sunlight exposure, which leads to an increased level of vitamin D, correlates with a a reduced risk of breast cancer. I usually recommend small amounts of vitamin D (400 to 1000 IU) for those people without sunlight exposure, especially during the winter. I also occasionally recommend cod liver oil during winter months as a source of Vitamin D and omega-3 fatty acids. Vitamin D deficiency is very common in the elderly and in people who live in parts of the world with little sunlight; it is also one of the major contributing factors to osteoporosis." He also recommends it for prostate cancer.
Yance's book, 'Herbal Medicine Healing and Cancer' can be purchased here.
Here is a little surya namaskar technique to do with the sun salutation:
WITH HANDS IN PRAYER I FACE THE SUN,
FEELING LOVE AND JOY IN MY HEART.
i REACH OUT AND LET THE SUN
FILL ME WITH WARMTH.
i BOW BEFORE THE SUN'S
RADIANCE AND PLACE MY FACE
TO THE GROUND IN HUMBLE RESPECT.
I LIFT MY FACE TO THE SUN
AND THEN REMEMBER,
TO ACHIEVE SUCH HEIGHTS,
I MUST BE AS THE DUST
OF THE EARTH.
I STRETCH UP TOWARD ITS
LIGHT TRYING TO REACH THE
GREATEST HEIGHTS,
AND AGAIN SURRENDER.
I STAND TALL AS I REMEMBER
THE TRUE SUN IS WITHIN ME.
Nice to do on really dismal days like today (in NO. CA) and to use my light from Northern Lights for meditation, reading, etc.
I'd love to know what your version of "solar breathing" is??? Let me know, okay??
Sunshine and Love!!! S

Hi Saroja! Thanks for your post! I love your surya namaskar! Thank you so much for sharing it. I'll be happy to share the 'solar breathing' technique with you. It's a pranayama, so I feel cautious about just placing it out there on the web. It's been extremely effective for me. I don't really suffer from SAD anymore, in fact. BTW, I now have the capacity for multiple authors on any of my blogs, so let me know if you are interested. K
