Benefits Of Hatha Yoga (Channel Your Mind)

November 7, 2021 by Madhavi Leave a Comment

The Benefits Of Hatha Yoga

Yoga is always misunderstood as twisting your body into impossible poses, but yoga is about the mind. There are many benefits of Hatha yoga, but the purpose of it is to unite the sun and the moon within us mastering control over the body. Check out various yoga asanas for different problems.

The Benefits Of Hatha Yoga

What is Hatha Yoga:

Hatha Yoga is one of the branches of yoga. Ha-‘Prana’, the sun and tha–‘apana‘, the moon

Yoga in the context of hatha yoga is union unlike focus on yoga sutras.

The 15th century Hatha Yoga Prathipadika tells us what actually Hatha yoga is. Although the common meaning of hatha is stubborn, the hatha yoga pratipadika says it as “with strength”.

Here strength is not just mental by willpower or persistence but the physical strength that supports the mental ability.

I understand, uniting the sun and the moon, and that too within us is overwhelming. It is not just a fancy saying. It is said so because there are specific reasons.

What does Hatha Yoga do?

Ha-tha is referred to the heating and cooling of the body which is formed by Agni-fire, the metabolism of the body. These are supposed to be channelled properly through Vayu-air, which is the channelling of the breath in the body for the movement of life force-prana.

Hatha yoga brings together the prana that flows in the right side of the centre spine and the Apana that flows in the left of the centre spine and get them to flow through the centre spine and then the mind is said to be in focus.

Prana and Apana are the inhalation and exhalation aspects of the same force called breath. So when the breath is scattered right and left of the spine, the mind is also scattered. Practising hatha yoga makes the prana and the Apana channel into the centre spine known as Sushumna making the mind centered and focused.

FAQs

Which yoga is Hatha Yoga?

Hatha Yoga refers to all physical yoga practices, including Vinyasa yoga. Thus Vinyasa Yoga is Hatha Yoga.

How is hatha yoga different from other yoga?

Hatha yoga focuses on perfecting asanas and doing pranayama or breathing control, to increase the vital energy flow throughout the body. Hatha works especially to improve that flow of energy through meditation.

What is the point of hatha yoga?

A Hatha Yoga practice may be used by anyone as a way to increase fitness, improve health, attain or restore greater balance and connectedness of mind-body-spirit, and developmental focus and discipline.

What is the difference between Vinyasa and Hatha Yoga?

Hatha yoga is practiced at a slower pace, with focus on the breath, controlled movements, and stretching. Vinyasa yoga focuses on connecting the breath to your movements, which tend to be set at a faster pace.

How many poses are there in Hatha yoga?

The well-known text on Hatha yoga – The Hatha Yoga Pradipika – can be thought of almost as an anthology of many Hatha texts combined. It includes fifteen primary postures, seven of which are seated and eight non-seated, as well as an amalgamation of additional postures, totalling 84 asanas.

Decision Making (Balance Awareness And Intuition)

November 10, 2018 by Madhavi Leave a Comment

Importance Of Decision Making:

Is decision making a tough task in your day to day life?

I said day to day because, decision making, does not just matter for great things in our life. It starts with a simple thing like what food to take this morning. Here comes the importance of decision making.

For example, foodies on diet (for whatever health issues like cholesterol or improper digestion, they’re on diet), can’t decide the only item to eat in the morning, looking at so many delicious options. They usually end up eating everything and can’t improve their health.

Sometimes, a more active lifestyle seems to be the best way to help us improve our decision making based on what we hear.

Even moderate cardiovascular exercise in your late 80s or early 90s can improve the ability to process what you hear and help speed up the decision making process. Somehow, activities appear to turn back our biological clock and help us process information better.

Decision Making Process Example:

A decision making process example in the above case would be to find a balance between the facts you are aware of about the present diet you follow and how far you can get succeeded with the new diet plan you had.

  • Then make changes to your diet plan that are adaptable for you.
  • Find any alternative food that matches your diet chart, for a change.

Then decide on the new diet plan and stick to it.

Decision Making Is A Process:

Let’s make it simple here.

Decision making should balance awareness and intuition.

Basically, decision making gets tough when people:

  • Don’t know what exactly they want.
  • Confused with choices, preferences, options etc.

And they’re either not satisfied with a single option.

How To Make Decisions Quickly:

Here’s how to make decisions quickly, the simple way to tackle with this is balancing your thoughts between awareness and intuition.

  1. Awareness is from the reality, which we’re supposed to know, the real-time situations around, to make the work practically possible.
  2. Intuition comes from a certain kind of knowing from our perspective but not completely known.

The first step is to gather the information, research on the issue and know the reality. Then you’ll have a certain level of estimation can be done and what can happen. This can be done by giving and getting feedback more often.

It is not that, only happening things around the world are to be trusted. We have our own capabilities of doing it better. This is where intuition comes into the picture. Our intuition comes out of our instinct without any conscious effort.

The second step is to compare the reality with intuition, to what extent they get balanced. Then make the necessary changes to the plan, to make the things work for you.

Also, A promise to deliver can create guilt; it creates some sense of tension or anxiety because of a standard of expectation set before we actually know the depth of the task.

It is said that human brains work better in peace. You can control the state of your mind with pranayama techniques such as kapalbhati pranayama, yoga for stress relief etc.

So, first work upon yourself such as the skill set, equipment required, plan and work to the best possible by you. The results are going to be great.

Take Away:

Remember! Don’t think of a decision as good or bad on the first go. It is a decision first and the way you perform your actions makes it good or bad.

Finally, take your decision without confusion. It’s simple. Of course, we can’t manage to think right away like this, but keep trying. Make your brain learn good things, it can learn BTW.

Summer evenings

June 1, 2018 by Madhavi Leave a Comment

Have you ever worried about a summer afternoon on its evening?

No? I’ll tell you why…

Summer evenings are the best, how much ever old you get.

The nostalgic school vacation come to us every summer evening.

You feel as pleasant as reading a nice book,

You feel as blissful as a child up for summer holidays,

You feel as fulfilled as a child get to play with friends,

You feel as excited as planning a vacation,

Summer evenings are magic with its soothing evening air.

My First Short Story- The Confused Tea

March 24, 2018 by Madhavi Leave a Comment

Well, No! This short story is not about tea or about tea leaves at all. I hardly know about tea to write something on it. This is an innocent love story.

This is about a girl. She is accompanied with tea, where the tea being family’s favourite companion all the time in India.

We all have that other side of us unnoticed, sometimes even by ourselves consciously. The Tea in the story puts those unnoticed matters forward for us.

This was an attempt to explore a girl’s mind about marriage when she din’t had a thought about it.

The concept of making ‘Tea’ as main reveler was the first idea, then added the theme of marriage proposal for the girl.

It was summer evening, my sister making tea for the relatives, me wandering around doing nothing but instructing her when she actually can make better tea than me.

My intruding has its reasons as she was very much confused with the proportions she’s putting in, that the tea itself would get confused with its taste (Hypothetical). Then occurred the title ‘The confused Tea‘ with a later tag line ‘A piece of Ginger helped!’ as ginger solves the tea’s confusions on what’s going on in the girl’s life and this is the short story created from the title.

You can check the preview here and go for the full shortstory on Kindle.
