What is Yoga?
Seen as an all in one is it a system of self-dominating, in the
physical and mental sense. It is means of preparation toward a mystical
finality.
The term Yoga derives from Sanskrit "Yugi" what means junction, union.
The researched union is the junction of the individual soul into the
cosmic soul. For short, the supreme finality of Yoga is an experience
above or outside of the all day consciousness.
Yoga does not have churches or temples, nor rites or dogma but it lives
"open", eternally present, the Yogi make become every place where he is
a temple and every thing he does a rite.
Over three thousands of years ago some wise Indian's has prepared
accurately the practice which it make possible to stabilize a contact
between the individual spirit (purusha) and the universal spirit
(brahim) considering that such contact would make arise the lightening,
intense and ecstatic experience of identity. So, those ancient
scientists prepared with cure the way toward a culture.
You're now authorizes to ask, "So, what can Yoga do for me?" An answer
can be given in four short sentences: Sanity, Energy, Youthness and
Equilibrium.
Nonetheless, the origin of Yoga leads back to such ancient times; those
who excogitate such excellent techniques can be considered scientists,
for the excellence with which they've studied the functions of their
bodies and mind's. They excogitate postures that have effects onto the
physic functionality like the metabolism, the digestion and
elimination, the respiration, the blood, the circulation and function
of the glands, the nervous system, but even to the level and quality of
consciousness.
It does not need to have a mind of a big philosopher to recognize that
feeling well is a very desirable condition for everyone. The root of
the term sanity derives from entirety, integrity (totality). If a
person can improve his sanity with his very own forces and he doesn't
do that, that compares to an act of self-destruction, what for whom
feels that the human have a duty to develop his psychophysical
potential, is disgusting and nonsense like the auto castration of
Orygen.
Nonetheless, thousands of people are guilty to dedicate more attention
to their cars then to their beings.
Yoga and in particularly Hatha Yoga is one of the most perfect systems
of home gymnastic. Executed in a correct way, what surely doesn't means
that you try to make a knot of yourself, reinvigorates more then it
fatigue, concentrates and makes the energy converge more then discharge
it.
All the important muscles of the body becomes tight, contracted and
toned, the lungs, the heard, the nerves and the glands benefit from
this.
No other system gives so much attention to build a harmonic sanity as
result of a sane mind and a sane body.
Not at least is it a preparation for meditation since with a sane body
is it easier to get a sane mind.
Yoga techniques are not made only for the muscles of the body but also
for the control of the thoughts. It teaches how to build a reserve of
energy, so rich that it is possible to live from those interests,
teaches how to purify the blood and feed the cells of the body with
rich oxygenated blood, teaches how to intensify the power of
concentration in the way to dominate the tumultuous mind and teaches at
least how to grow up the equilibrium and serenity.
Mental facts have a strong influence to reinvigorate the psychophysical
organism like pure physical facts. Yoga does even more; it stimulates
the sane functionality of the glands from which depends the chemical
equilibrium of the body, meaning those glands from which secretion
depends our vitality and youthness.
Examining these results, can you recognize that from the practice of
yoga treats always qualities and conditions that are associated with
youth ness.
