Yoga with an icon: how the images of saints

Concentration

The first thing that makes the practice of contemplation of the icon - it's concentration.  By focusing on prayer, or the perception of the image, we ignore the problems, pains and troubles.  And this is the first and main goal of yoga: "Yoga citta vritti nirodhah" ("Yoga - the essence of stop bustle of the mind") - it is with these words, the sage Patanjali begins the famous Yoga Sutras.

Managing emotions

Managing emotions - is also one of the main objectives of yoga.  Contemplation of the icon performs this task very easy.  Perceiving the image of the saint, we automatically perform attunement with him (that's a feature of human psychology).  It is very quickly changing our emotional state.  This is because the icon is no information about the "misfortune".  Even persons of the martyrs are bright and inspired.  No matter how we evaluated the image the mind, our consciousness perceives the information message icon: "Suffering is an illusion."

Why not throw all the yoga family and career

It was then that I started my whole yoga from scratch.  Work began anew.  Salary is sometimes even more than it was (though all are now going to school).  Relatives and friends are my back for me.  Even with the men I meet (but do not tell anyone!).  And the subway ride.  In general, no different from others.  However, from what "others" are now hard to say.  Because someone in the eye or look - I see myself: the same fears, the same ambitions and the same longing for love.

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 ...
