Release your inner self, your original self ... the joyful magic of an unguarded spirit ... with yoga ...
Namaste
... my hands are in prayer position as I bow to you ... meaning the
divine spark within me recognizes the divine spark within you. This is a
gesture of deep respect. Namaste has a spiritual significance of
negating or reducing one's ego in the presence of another ... something
that alone could make the world a more peaceful and better place to
live.
Originally from India
and dating back nearly 6,000 years, yoga has stood the test of time and
has been used by many all over the world. Yoga has been known to have a
big effect on someone's life, bringing the mind and body into harmony
and healing on all levels. The popularity of this spiritual, physical
and mental discipline is spreading and yoga is blossoming all around the
world. Defined as a moving meditation, yoga literally translates from
Sanskrit meaning "to yoke" or "of union". The yogi will eventually
realize their true nature and the oneness of all.
The health claims of yoga
seam to have no end. Name a problem and it is likely that yoga could
help bring the body and mind into a healthy state, safe to call a
"cure-all". I began practicing years ago - detoxifying my body and
mind, messaging my inner organs and breathing in a way that gave me
greater control over the body that serves my spirit. Happiness flooded
my home and life took on a deeper calm, as I felt more at peace with
myself and my world ... leading to better problem solving skills and
decision making and overall vitality.
Yoga is known to
increase emotional well-being, increase flexibility, improve the
posture, significantly reduce stress and stress responses, increase
concentration levels, relieve lower back pain and numerous other various
biochemical and physiological benefits. It also helps to consciously
connect to divinity and form a relationship with God ... Sold Yet?
A
few years ago I began sharing the many gifts that yoga has given me to
my family and friends, expressing a deep desire that they begin yoga as
well. When someone complained about a problem I would calmly suggest yoga.
I am so happy to say that I have now more yogi's in my life. My love
for yoga convinced them to give it a try, while their own great
experiences with yoga turned them into regular practitioners ...
Hurrayyyy! This led to better conversations at holidays and
get-togethers, along side an increased amount of fun when buying the
yogi's and yogini's in my life Christmas and birthday gifts that inspire
them to keep practicing and loving life. The yogic lifestyle is bliss ...
Yoga
works like a magic potion, something the saints and medicine healers
have always known. It is a great way to restore your mind, body and spirit ... whether you
practice regularly or just every once in a while ... pass it on.
