SPIRITUAL SIDE OF YOGA

 

Hey, Hii, Hello, Hola everyone! I hope everyone finds this in good health. Everyone goes through a lot of things every day, some happy moments, some sad, some are busy with their hectic schedule or some enjoy with their friends and family, some are going through a good phase, and some are through the bad. Everything we go through or anything that is happening in the surrounding has a huge impact on our mindset. Our mind is working 24*7 thinking either about the past which is never going to change or anticipating the unpredictable future. This negatively impacts the mind and disturbs mental health. 

          Spiritual yoga which is nothing but the connection of spirit with ourselves helps to gain freedom from all those thoughts and brings us back to the present. Not only this but also it helps in getting ourselves connected to our real selves. Breathing through the tough poses teaches us to breathe even during the worse phase of life. The asanas that are related to physical flexibility not only provide flexibility to the body but also increases our mental flexibility and bring backs a positive attitude such as the "we can do it" attitude. Stretching in the yoga poses to your limit without comparing with others, can lead to an attitude to do your best and let go. This attitude also helps in overcoming stress. 

Spirituality is the inner core and adds happiness to life. And on the spiritual side of yoga, yoga also focuses on mental Peace where we work through Emotional stress and psychological challenges. And without the spiritual side of yoga, yoga is just a stretch class or a gym session. Yoga never teaches us to get rid of negativity by gaining control of ourselves rather it teaches us to face all the situations no matter what just by being ourselves and with our experiences. So basically spiritual yoga helps us to live in the present, refreshes our mind, and brings back a positive attitude in our lives. 

Meditation helps to keep ourselves calm. So lets us come off the busy schedule, out of those thoughts, and let's stabilize our mental health, let's meditate. 

Let's bring back those pretty smiles to our faces!! 😊
