August 5, 2024,
We need it now more than ever.
Just as the right hand needs the left hand, the sun aligns with the moon and peanut butter could use some jelly, as humans in a conflict filled world, could we say the stressful news is balanced by yoga?
We think so.
Even in politics, which hopefully is not violent, the word often used to describe a competitive state, is battleground.
Conflict everywhere. When will it end? Unfortunately, no time soon.
Yoga, please.
Tie for a closer look.
Yoga is a group of physical, mental, and spiritual practices or disciplines which originated in ancient India and aim to control, or gently yoke and calm the mind.
There is a wide variety of schools of yoga, practices, and goals in Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism, and traditional and modern yoga is practiced worldwide.
The postural yoga of the Western world is a physical activity consisting of Asanas, often connected by smooth transitions, sometimes accompanied by breathing exercises and usually ending with a period of relaxation or meditation.
Are you stressed out over current events? Yoga just might be for you.
The great minds at psychologytoday.com share, “2024 has revealed promising studies demonstrating that yoga may be just such a complementary therapy to assist in improving feelings of well-being, as well as potentially improving sleep quality and social connectedness.”
That is good to know. We are all for that.
A little more.
The informative healthy living source hopkinsmedicine.org adds, “Yoga offers physical and mental health benefits for people of all ages. And, if you’re going through an illness, recovering from surgery or living with a chronic condition, yoga can become an integral part of your treatment and potentially hasten healing.”
We can appreciate that.
Has it been your experience, when you see people peacefully practicing Yoga, it can feel like a very spiritual thing? We’ve experienced that.
Time for some positive, peaceful confirmation. Let’s walk over to the bookstore.
This is a classic.
Living Yoga: Creating a Life Practice Paperback – January 1, 2005
By Christy Turlington (Author)
“Christy Turlington is a serious yoga practitioner who has been practicing for over 15 years. This is the only REAL yoga book you’ll ever need. In this book she explores the eight tenets of yoga and discusses how to incorporate it into everyday life, no matter how busy you are. She also touches on how yoga has made her own life more peaceful through stressful times and events. Both revealing and instructional, beautiful and covetable, Living Yoga is suitable for people of all levels, from those who are trying yoga for the first time to more advanced practitioners.”
Well said.
What we love about Yoga, among many things, is that you have a variety of places to choose where you can quietly practice it. A wonderful resort or hotel on vacation, out in the forest or the woods, in a studio connecting with friends or in the quiet privacy of your home.
There are so many options.
Just as so many causes have their day, Yoga has a day quietly set aside as well.
