The Powerful Secret Of Integrating
Multiple Elements Into Your Yoga Practice...
In
our modern health system and especially in modern medicine the idea
of isolating one symptom or problem then trying to treat just that
symptom is widespread.
You might take a diuretic to lower your
blood pressure and statins to reduce your cholesterol.
Then
you go to a psychologist or psychotherapist to deal with your
excessive anxiety and your “type A” personality.
You get
liposuction as a full on onslaught in your “battle of the
bulge”
to remove the excess body fat around your tummy.
But the high
blood pressure, the cholesterol, the anxiety and type A personality
and the fat on your tummy are all inter-related.
They're all
symptoms of a poor diet and lifestyle and even modern medicine is now
realizing that trying to treat the body like a machine made up of
separate parts is ineffective and can even be dangerous.
Every
part of your physical body, your mind and your emotions are all
interrelated.
Modern science has discovered that when
you feel happy that can lower your blood pressure, reduce fat
storage, improve the functioning of your immune system and create a
whole range of other positive benefits throughout your body.
Science
has also demonstrated that poor physical health – high blood
pressure for example – can leave you irritable and anxious.
Just
learning to think more clearly – cognitive therapy
– can reduce
anxiety and blood pressure and help relieve depression.
And
this is just a tiny snapshot of how all our bodies systems tie
together.
Modern science is now learning that a combination of
therapies to treat your body, your mind, your emotions and even your
spiritual health as a whole integrated system can be far more
effective at treating disease than any single therapy.
It's
taken us decades of astonishingly expensive and elaborate
technological and medical research to discover the basic wisdom
ancient yoga teachers have used for thousands of years.
In
the ancient yoga traditions and especially in Viniyoga, your yoga
practice combines a whole range of different elements to engage your
mind, your body, your emotions and your spirit.
Most important
of all your practice is custom designed to fit you.
You should
have a clear intention to every yoga practice.
You should set
out with a clear goal of what you're trying to achieve.
It's a
shame but many modern western yoga modalities have lost this
integration of different methods in yoga practice.
When you
design YOUR yoga session you might include...
# Breathing or
pranayama.
# Physical postures or asana.
#
Sound with or without meaning
# Chanting or repeating
(silently or aloud) some phrase, poem or prayer that has significance
and meaning to you.
# Meditation
#
Prayer and
# Relaxation or savasana.
In a well designed yoga session every
one of these elements is combined together carefully and customized
for your unique physiology, psychology, and spritual beliefs -
whatever is
appropriate and useful for you now.
Most
important of all every element is combined with an intention in
mind.
You first started practicing yoga because you wanted
some kind of results out of your practice.
You might want to
relieve stress or back pain.
You might want to improve the
quality of your sleep or overcome insomnia.
You might want to
get your moods under control.
You might just want to find some
inner peace in our crazy, hectic modern world.
Whatever your
intention is right now every part of your yoga practice should be
custom designed to serve that intention – to take you closer
to the
goal you set for today's practice.
Having a clear intention
and combining different elements and techniques into your yoga
practice will give you more rapid results.
15-20 minutes of
highly focused, customized, integrated practice can be far more
effective than a 60 minute yoga class.
Also, you're more
likely to continue with short, tightly focused yoga sessions where
you see real results.
So having a clear intention of what you
want to achieve every time you practice and combining many different
elements into your yoga practice is an ancient yoga secret that is
now being validated with modern science.
