An Interconnection Between Yoga And Spirituality
by Dr. S Yogi Yoga Teacher Training in RishikeshIs
yoga only for physical well-being?
There is a very common misconception among the people
that yoga is about physical well-being like stretching, bending,
moving etc. and it is considered as a mode of exercise by them.
But none of any mode of exercise is comparable to yoga. This
is because yoga is not a mode of exercise at all.
If this has been the case then Zumba, Aerobics,
Gymnastics etc had have taken the place as well as the reputation that yoga has
today.
Spirituality is a distinctive aspect of Yoga which is not found in anything else.
How Yoga and Spirituality Interconnected?
Yoga and Spirituality is not an outer thing which appeals to the eyes. It is about the experience of balancing and integrating body,
mind, soul and all the senses. It makes an individual feel
and experiences the connection between soul and body.
Here lies Spirituality; it helps human beings
to identify themselves better. These things have been there from the
time of eternity but yoga made it possible to reach and experience these
aspects of life.
For example,
in recent years, the western world has been greatly influenced by yoga. A large
number of people follow it and come to pursue Yoga Teacher Training in Rishikesh.
If it has been just for the physical well-being, I don't think so that
they do not have better options.
The reason is that it's easy to attain physical
stability and to work for its well-being than acquiring inner peace
through meditation and unifying your senses. Besides yoga has its own
philosophy and meditation with the authentic aim of enlightenment. Yoga is
experiencing spirituality and divinity while practicing it and stabilizing your
mind and body.
Spirituality and Divinity
Spirituality and divinity are the aspects which make yoga
unique. It is hundreds of decades old and has been practiced by
various yogis, gurus, and people.
There are lots of passionate practitioners
who justify their uniqueness and authenticity. One of the
characteristic features which are considered to be in a true
Yogi is his calmness and his peaceful mind and heart.
It is believed that a person with anger, rage, and an unstable mind cannot be a true Yogi. It is because Yogis meditate regularly
which helps them to encounter a stressful situation that
regulates their anger.
All these practices have been scientifically proven too.
Yoga is not bound to any particular religion. It is definitely originated from
one but not bound to anyone. It can be pursued by anyone as yoga and
spirituality are about experiencing the experience of oneness.
Misconceptions
Spirituality, as highly misconstrued, does not come
from religiousness, but from the experiences, a person attains
through the unification of body, brain, and soul.
Many people have been cured of stress, anxiety, blood
pressure problems and depression by yoga and meditation. All these ailments do
not occur due to any outer source like microorganisms but they occur within our
self.
This tells us that we damage our body knowingly or
unknowingly and yoga with meditation curing it indicates that it affects not
physically but mentally and psychologically too.
If you want to attain inner peace, calmness and
experience stability in and within your body then you can join Hatha Yoga
Teacher Training, Ashtanga Yoga Teacher Training and Kundalini Yoga Teacher Training
Courses in Rishikesh which will help you to understand every aspect
of Yoga and Spirituality with deep understanding.
