We
give undue importance to our health and the treatment
of diseases. A large number of medicines treat only
the symptoms of the disease, and not the root cause.
In fact, the cause of many chronic ailments is still
being researched.
It
is here that Yoga therapy comes to our assistance.
Yoga emphasizes treatment of the root cause of an
ailment. It works in a slow, subtle and miraculous
manner. Modern medicine can claim to save a life at
a critical stage, but, for complete recovery and regaining
of normal health, one must believe in the efficiency
of Yoga therapy.
The
Yogic way of life includes a code of ethics, regulations,
discipline and more, combined with prayer and
meditation. Even a discussion of these subjects
helps one relieve mental tensions and change
attitudes. Simple Asanas help to stretch
and relax the whole body and neutralize tensions.
The sincere practice of Yoga postures benefits all
levels of experience.
From
the restoration of balance, flexibility, poise,
health and well being to the body, to the
cultivation of mental equanimity, emotional
balance, and inner strength. On a physical
level Yoga postures stimulate the glands, organs,
muscles and nerves in ways that traditional
exercise cannot.
Muscle
tightness and strain is quickly relieved and both
circulation and digestion improves. Stress-related
symptoms like poor sleep, fatigue, muscle spasms,
anxiety, and indigestion are greatly improved.
Through
continued practice Yoga postures can have a profound
effect on the inner dimensions of life, establishing
deep calm, concentration, emotional stability and
confidence.
