The start of the holiday season is now here and Yoga's deep breathing exercises is a great stress buster. It is no fun to be stressed out. Instead choose to be happy now. Remember happiness is a state of being and comes from the inside of you.
Say yes to Yoga as an alternative therapy that is life-enhancing, nourishes the body, heart and soul. With practice you will experience benefits that transcend the physical. Practicing yoga helped me to reconnect with myself, allowing the energy that flows through my meridians to assist in controlling my high blood pressure.
Yoga teaches a basic principle of mind and body unity. It will boosts your health, give you a sense of peace and best of all increase your spirituality. Which in essence says if your mind is chronically restless and agitated, then the health of your body will be compromised. And if your body is in poor health, mental strength and clarity will be adversely affected.
The practicing of yoga helps to counter these ill effects by restoring mental and physical health. The most basic or well know yoga is Hatha yoga, a series of postures designed to keep your body flexible and fit.
Read more on the spirituality and connectedness with your mental health, body and healing energy of yoga.
Here is how Yoga works throughout your body, helping you to reach your highest level of consciousness which is the ultimate aim of this practice.
There are channels that starts at the base of your body and ends at the crown of your head. Along this channel lie energy centers known as Chakras.
Practicing yoga encourages this energy to move up through the chakras, bringing physical, emotional and spiritual week-being. Each point along the chakra is associated with a particular benefit, see the names of your chakras and where on your body that will benefit here.
