This is a near comprehensive guide to help you become more disciplined, an essential pre-requisite for practicing yoga.
Breathing and Yoga are intricately inter-related. Controlling breathing can help you overcome many stressful emotions which affect the mind and body. There are 3 phases which are involved in every breath that we take. If we can master the art of experiencing each of these phases independently, then we can also master the art of controlling our breathing and the complete Yoga breath – which is without any jerk and tensions, and flows smoothly like a uninterrupted wave.
One of the most tried and tested form of meditation is through Yoga Nidra – which induces deep relaxation both for the mind and body. It can be done anytime, whenever you feel overburdened with thoughts, stresses and tensions. Through repeated practice of this form of meditation, you reach a level of deep consciousness where your mind is free of undesirable thoughts and worries. It leaves your mind free and relaxed, to tackle another day, another experience with calmness and composure.
