Yoga & Meditation - Tools Of Happiness

Yoga, Is it just an exercise form? Is it a religion, a philosophy, or an ideology? Or is it something else entirely? The word "yoga" literally means "union". When your body, mind and spirit, and existence are in absolute harmony it is yoga. Yoga is a Hindu spiritual and ascetic discipline, which includes breath control, simple meditation, and the adoption of specific bodily postures called Asanas.

 

In modern times the increasing incidents of suicides, murder, mass shooting, road rage, addictions, thefts, rape, terrorism, etc. clearly shows the disharmony in the human brain. According to Sadhguru, Yoga is a state of mind when you fine-tune yourself to a point where everything functions so beautifully within you, the best of your abilities and energies naturally flow out of you. You feel rejuvenated and energized. Yoga is rapidly becoming integrated into such traditionally secular institutions as public education, health care, and the workplace all over the world.

 

Body, Mind, and Spirit are in absolute conflict resulting in anxiety, frustration, insecurity, depression, and other mental diseases. Mental peace and happiness are missing from their life. The man, of today, has come far from his true self. Yoga is a tool to bring harmony, happiness, and peace to human life. It helps in activating Yoga energies up to optimum level and helps them to use inner energies for higher possibilities. If a person can attain a little bit of mastery over his own energies, he can do things beyond his imagination.

According to scientists, a human being generates approximately 70,000 thoughts per day. These can be positive as well as negative. Thought decides the quality of our actions. Positive thoughts make a positive human being and negative thoughts an unhappy human being. There is a strong relationship between body and mind also Many of our physical ailments are due to negativity that we carry in our minds. In meditation, through breath, we try to tame our monkey mind. Meditation rationalizes and purifies the brain and thus generates a positive energy field. Which brings us closer to our true selves.
