The secret to the popularity of yoga

Every Men and women trying to look like in accordance with the canons of beauty inherent in a particular era. Requirements for the appearance from the viewpoint of modern humans were sometimes strange, for example, what is the fashion for shaved eyebrows and forehead in the middle Ages! Most likely, the passion of today's women's slim figure, and any methods of achieving this goal would have seemed noble ladies of the Middle Ages, to put it mildly, unusual. But what about so far away times, a couple of decades ago for the phrase "I do yoga," society can classify you in the best case to the sect of infidels. Today, yoga - it is the usual method of preserving good health and maintain shape in great shape. I see yoga as it is a form of fitness, rather than as a way of life or the path of spiritual development. You can talk about yoga as an ancient doctrine that could change the way of life and turn your perception of reality. You can give sacred meaning exercise, yoga, bend his whole life - it's a private matter.

Why do some yoga thrown a career


A person not a practicing yoga practitioner or anything is aware that the long-deceive themselves.  He squeezes the juice out of himself, spends every day in caring and hassle ...  But not because there is a need, but only because of fears about going on and ambitions.  Motivates them to fear anything in this under-collection "only" life and need to be better than others, or at least not worse ...
Yoga as a way of expanding consciousness suddenly opens his eyes to the fact that the "best" and "worst" - it is only our own estimates.  Once this occurs, dramatically changes the perception of their own goals and needs.

The Hatha Yoga


The direction, the most widely spread in the west. The name is formed by two roots of "ha" - "sun" and "tha" - "Moon", which indicates a desire for balance between effort and relaxation, energy and consciousness, the masculine and feminine. Word as a whole can be literally translated as "strength" or "force". In this case, it all starts with the serious work with the body. In a lazy man, nearly every one of us, at this point it may be a reasonable question: why "karyachitsya 'up a sweat when you can just sit under a tree and think of something beautiful or smart read books in anticipation of enlightenment. Alas, all is not so simple. Try it yourself and you'll see for yourself. First of all, you do not get long to sit in one position, the body soon zanoet and zatechet. Secondly, the mind, too, refuses to obey and you will think about what it wants, in other words randomly jump from one topic to another. On closer examination, to cope with the body will be somewhat easier than with the mind, although this will require a systematic effort. In principle, it is quite logical: if you do not own something that you can see and touch, how can subdue something intangible and elusive? In addition, one of the fundamental esoteric principles states: both inside and outside, that is, by acting on the body, we simultaneously has an impact on consciousness, which will gradually change along with the physical body.

Karma Yoga


The Sanskrit term karma refers not only to the law of cause and effect (although in the west of the most widely known for this aspect), but simply the action. Therefore, in this area can be attributed not only to practice as such, but every act committed in the name of yoga. Thus, karma yoga can be considered the organization of work yoga center, training seminars or writing this article, as well as any other matter directed to the benefit of others and selflessly committed, and not for any personal gain.

Sun Salutation or "Good morning!"


Morning. Shower. Coffee. Cigarette ... Even if instead of coffee do you drink orange juice or green tea, and a very bad habit, like smoking, you are completely characterized, it is still in such regulations about what is missing. And lacking a very important component. Do not want to discover America, but it is not enough morning exercises. People in older age groups, the words "morning exercise" reminiscent of upbeat music on the radio and the words of speaker: "One, two, tilt left, tilt right" and that there is still talked about. Those who are younger, think about the set of exercises, aerobics, dancing or at least in bed ... and you can start them in bed, and continue...
But let's start from the beginning. Having conducted a survey among friend’s ladies of various ages, I found that very few people doing morning exercises. Reasons? Everything was very simple. One lady prevented excess weight and complexity of the exercise (much like the argument that if she will stomp and jump from neighbors plaster from the ceiling). Someone was in the morning too little time and even 15-20 minutes (I'm not talking about a full half-hour charge) - it's too much. Someone is after charging is too overheated, and in this form would not venture out of the house.

Meditation - Meditation on the form


Use of visual consciousness as a means spokoeniya mind technically called a "meditation on form." But do not be afraid of this title. In fact, meditation on the form is very simple. In fact, we unconsciously practice it every day when we look at a computer screen or on a traffic light. When we raise this unconscious process to the level of active consciousness, intentionally directing their attention to a particular object, the mind becomes very calm, open and relaxed.
I was taught to start with a very small facility, located close enough to see it without straining. This may be a colored spot on the floor, a candle flame, picture, and even head of a man sitting in front of you in the audience. Just nice to look at an object that has spiritual significance, often called the pure form. If you are a Buddhist, then such an object could be an image or statue of the Buddha, being a Christian, you can focus on the cross or on the face of a saint. If you belong to some other religious traditions, select the object, which has for you a special sacred significance. When you become accustomed to this practice, it becomes possible to focus even thought-forms - objects that you just extract from the visual memory.

Meditation - Meditation on the pain.


Feeling cold, heat, hunger, overeating, weight, dizziness, migraine, dental pain, nasal congestion, sore throat, pain in the knees or lower back very directly - though not always pleasant - appear awareness.
Because pain and discomfort related to such a direct sense, they are very suitable as sites for meditative concentration.
Most of us feel the pain threatened physical well-being. On the one hand, when we worry or to fixate on the threat, the pain is almost always increased. On the other hand, if we feel pain or discomfort object of meditation, you can use these experiences to enhance the clarity, just watching how the mind deals with different solutions.

Meditation - The gates of perception.


Buddhists, like Western science, recognize the five senses: sight, hearing, smell, touch and taste. In Buddhism, the five sensory abilities are called the gates of perception - the etymology of this metaphor is related to the entrance of the house.
Most of our feelings and perceptions are our experience through one or more of these doors. But as the five faculties of feelings - or sense of consciousness as they are called in the Buddhist texts - can detect only sense perceptions, the Buddhist science adds a sixth sense - the mental consciousness. In this sixth consciousness is nothing mystical or occult. It has nothing to do with extrasensory perception or the ability to communicate with spirits. This is simply the ability to distinguish between the mind and evaluate what we see, hear, we taste, smell and palpable.
