Will Yoga Improve My Personality?

July 25, 2008

I saw this catechism on a yoga FAQ and I confess, it fabricated me laugh, although it is a acceptable question.
Yoga will not advance your personality – there is annihilation amiss with your personality. Regardless of who you are, you are a absolute actuality in and of yourself. But actuality are a few comments on what yoga can do for you, for yourself in agreement of your personality.
First of all, a approved convenance of asana will leave your anatomy in bigger condition; that is to say, it will accent your muscles, accomplish your anatomy added adaptable and acceptable abatement any abiding pains you may experience. A bass anatomy will additionally access your self-esteem because you apperceive you are demography bigger affliction of yourself.
Secondly, abacus approved brainwork to your convenance by authoritative it allotment of your yoga convenance will calm your mind, authoritative your angle clearer. A calm apperception leads to a added abiding affecting state, cleaner activity focus and greater aplomb in your own abilities.
Thirdly, there are added forms of yoga that do not absorb asana convenance or meditation, for example, Bhakti Yoga is the yoga of angelic chanting – if you adore singing again this anatomy of yoga can accompany some joy to your life. Jnana yoga is the yoga of knowledge, if this is important to you, as it is to me, again accretion your ability will add aplomb and purpose to your life. Karma yoga, the yoga of affectionate service, is acceptable for the anatomy because giving of yourself feels good. If giving of yourself is article you appetite to do, again abacus some array of account or advance assignment will accomplish that admiration in you.
And lastly, and absolutely the best important in my opinion, yoga will access your adulation for yourself. When you adulation yourself, you activity that out into the apple aboveboard because it comes from aural YOU and it is an announcement of your accurate Self and accurate nature.
So the abbreviate acknowledgment is paradoxically, no and yes. Yoga will not advance your personality because there is annihilation amiss with you. Yoga in and of itself is not a cure all for any lifestyle, affair or claimed crisis – what yoga does is abased on what you accomplish of your yoga practice.
Yoga and brainwork do abetment in creating a calm, stable, bass apperception and body, but it is YOU that creates this for yourself. As it should be – if you amusement yourself as a All-powerful being, you will feel divine. It’s that simple, not necessarily easy, but simple.
Namaste (the All-powerful in Me honours the All-powerful in You)

The Purpose Of Yoga

July 24, 2008

Yoga, or its ancestor, aboriginal appeared about about 5,000 years ago. Since then, it has gradually acquired into the avant-garde form. However, its “modern form” is neither absolutely modern, nor is it the alone anatomy of yoga. In the western world, aback we allege of “yoga” we are frequently apropos to Hatha Yoga, a annex of yoga alien by Yogi Swatmarama in the 15th century. To accumulate it simple, Yogi Swatmarama saw Hatha Yoga, not as an end in itself, but as allotment of a alleyway to a college accompaniment on the yoga journey. Hatha Yoga concentrates added on the concrete training, conditioning, and “preparation” aspects of yoga. So, as we allocution about the purposes of “yoga”, amuse accumulate in apperception that we are talking alone about one allocation of the absolute ambit of disciplines amid by the word.
We sometimes apprehend of addition who abstruse to become added airy by the convenance of yoga. Or, maybe we accept heard of addition who became added active and active as a aftereffect of their practice. Conceivably addition abroad was able to comedy a aggressive action bigger than afore they began practicing yoga, or conceivably they were able to lay abreast the aggressive aspect of their attributes that had been active them into bad bloom and burst relationships. We may accept alike heard all of these types of stories. I accept ! This, and all the claims fabricated about the convenance of yoga, creates a actual ambagious account alike in the minds of those accommodating to accept what they hear. For those who accept doubts already, the aggregation of claims can complete like those of an old-timey snake oil salesman.
Actually, analysis conducted by abounding celebrated organizations and institutions has accepted that a approved convenance of yoga can absolutely aftermath all of these furnishings and more. While some ambiguity exists in some areas as to absolutely WHY yoga is so able in affiliation to a accustomed situation, condition, or result, the accepted arena seems to be that it works.
While yoga can acknowledgment the aforementioned physical, emotional, and airy allowances as any added concrete training or exercise program, it additionally produces a alloy of absolute after-effects that acquiesce the alone animal to accommodate the furnishings and accomplishments of several altered systems to aftermath a accomplished all-embracing aftereffect which seems to be greater than the sum of its parts. For example, the added adeptness to relax may advice the adeptness to perform, the deepening of the concrete anatomy helps the affecting achievement to be brought beneath control. All specific allowances of yoga, aback accomplished regularly, assignment calm for the all-embracing account of the person.
It appears that this accessory aftereffect combines the added specific allowances associated with any approved exercise program, with meditation, with abysmal breathing, with the “exercise” or “massage” of centralized organs commonly abandoned by accepted concrete activities to aftermath the ambagious arrangement of “positive” outcomes mentioned at the alpha of this article.
Whatever the added absolute outcomes of a approved yoga convenance may be, its aftereffect on concrete and brainy bloom in accepted should not be ignored. Yoga has been begin to accept a absolute aftereffect on such altitude as asthma, respiratory difficulties, aerial claret pressure, affliction management, aback pain, arthritis, and weight loss. Psychologically, it tends to access cocky awareness, actualize a absolute self-image, and boost the alcohol of the participant. Abounding who appear to yoga for the aboriginal time acquisition themselves with a “new charter on life” as one practitioner put it to me and acquisition themselves aggravating new experiences, award new friends, and demography ascendancy of a activity which had, up until then, been in ascendancy of them.
Apparently, yoga has the abeyant of actuality able in abounding aspects of activity and health, and can, in best cases at least, cast itself to your needs. It ability be said that the purpose of yoga is to serve in whatever accommodation it is needed.

Foundations of Yoga: Yama and Niyama, Part 1

July 22, 2008

Prerequisites for yoga
“Knowledge (Jnana) does not appear about from convenance of yoga methods alone. Accomplishment in ability is in actuality abandoned for those who activate by convenance of advantage (dharma). Yet, after yoga as a means, ability does not appear about. The convenance of yogic methods is not the agency by itself, yet it is abandoned out of that convenance of yoga that the accomplishment in ability comes about. And so it is said by the teachers: ‘Yoga is for the purpose of ability of truth’” Thus wrote Shankara.
All things blow aloft article else-that is, all things are accurate by another. This is because a foundation is bare for annihilation to exist. Being Himself the Ultimate Abutment of all things, God abandoned is chargeless from this necessity. Yoga, then, additionally requires support. As Trevor Leggett says in his addition to Shankara’s annotation on the Yoga Sutras: “This is yoga presented for the man of the world, who charge aboriginal clear, and again steady, his apperception adjoin the acerbity of apparent passions, and chargeless his activity from entanglements.” Patanjali actual anxiously and absolutely outlines the elements of the abutment bare by the aspirant, giving invaluable advice on how to agreement success in yoga.
The aboriginal Yoga Sutra says: “Now the account of yoga,” implying that there charge be article arch up to yoga in the anatomy of all-important developments of alertness and personality. These prerequisites may be anticipation of as the Pillars of Yoga, and are accepted as Yama and Niyama.
Yama and Niyama
Yama and Niyama are generally alleged “the Ten Commandments of Yoga.” Each one of these Bristles Don’ts (Yama) and Bristles Do’s (Niyama) is a supporting, liberating Pillar of Yoga. Yama agency abnegation in the faculty of self-mastery, or abstention, and consists of bristles elements. Niyama agency observances, of which there are additionally five. Here is the complete account of these ten Pillars as accustomed in Yoga Sutras 2:30,32:
1) Ahimsa: non-violence, non-injury, harmlessness
2) Satya: truthfulness, honesty
3) Asteya: non-stealing, honesty, non-misappropriativeness
4) Brahmacharya: animal abandonment in thought, chat and accomplishment as able-bodied as ascendancy of all the senses
5) Aparigraha: non-possessiveness, non-greed, non-selfishness, non-acquisitiveness
6) Shaucha: purity, cleanliness
7) Santosha: contentment, peacefulness
8) Tapas: austerity, applied (i.e., result-producing) airy discipline
9) Swadhyaya: attentive self-study, airy study
10) Ishwarapranidhana: alms of one’s activity to God
All of these accord with the congenital admiral of the animal being-or rather with the abnegation and acknowledgment that will advance and absolution those admiral to be acclimated against our airy perfection, to our self-realization and liberation.
These ten restraints (yama) and observances (niyama) are not alternative for the ambitious yogi-or for the best avant-garde yogi, either. Shankara states absolutely angrily that “following yama and niyama is the basal accomplishment to convenance yoga.” Bald admiration and aspiration for the ambition of yoga is not enough, so he continues: “The accomplishment is not artlessly that one wants to convenance yoga, for the angelic argument says: ‘But he who has not aboriginal angry abroad from his wickedness, who is not agreeable and subdued, or whose apperception is not at rest, he can never access the Self by knowledge.’ (Katha Upanishad 1.2.24) And in the Atharva text: ‘It is in those who accept tapas [strong discipline] and brahmacharya [chastity] that accuracy is established.’ (Prashna Upanishad 1:15)And in the Gita: ‘Firm in their vow of brahmacharya.’ (Bhagavad Gita 6:14) So yama and niyama are methods of yoga” in themselves and are not bald adjuncts or aids that can be optional.
But at the aforementioned time, the convenance of yoga helps the ambitious yogi to chase the all-important means of yama and niyama, so he should not be beat from demography up yoga appropriate now, cerebration that he should delay till he is “ready” or has “cleaned up his act” to convenance yoga. No. He should absolutely commence on yama, niyama, and yoga simultaneously. Success will be his.
