Most people feel that they are healthy if they are not suffering from illness or pain, not aware of the imbalances that exist in their bodies and minds that ultimately will lead to disease. Yoga has a threefold impact on health. It keeps healthy people healthy, it inhibits the development of diseases, and it aids recovery from ill health. But diseases are not just a physical phenomenon. Anything that disturbs your spiritual life and practice is a disease and will manifest eventually in illness. Because most modern people have separated their minds from their bodies and their souls have been banished from their ordinary lives, they forget that the well-being of all three (body, mind, and spirit) are intimately entwined like the fibers of our muscles. Meditation
Meditation in an ancient Vedic practice which has been used for thousands of years to helps us attain inner calm and deep relaxation. By meditating we can achieve a healthier body, profound peace and expanded awareness. In today's society it is now more important and any time in history that we are able to experience a restful awareness during meditation. Every day we are inundated with more information and stimulation than our ancestors. It is not surprisingly that a large number of people suffer from stress, anxiety, insomnia, and chronic health problems. Scientific research shows that when you meditate, your breathing slows, blood pressure reduces and stress levels decrease. Meditation is about experiencing inner quiet, even when your mind is flitting with thoughts you can still achieve a stillness and calm. It's like the calm of the bottom of the ocean when the waves are choppy above. |
