There is a growing awareness of the link between our state of mind,  physical health, yoga and meditation. Quite often physical ailments are symptoms of inner emotional turmoil. A group or private yoga or meditation class can give us peace of mind, and this can be a helpful step in avoiding many stress related ailments.  Meditation has also been shown to relieve pain associated with certain illnesses.

Detach From Your Thoughts

How often do you find yourself victim to your own negative thoughts? Some people are even of the opinion that it is impossible to control your thoughts. However, the art of yoga and meditation teaches that, not only is it possible to control our thoughts, but, we can learn to detach from them completely. Through yoga and meditation we can bring our unruly mind under control. This creates peace of mind and enables us to achieve what we want to.

Detachment

When we live in the mind it is easy to get distracted by small irritations. For example, maybe we find it intolerable to be kept waiting in a line, or we get upset by a small misdemeanour of another person. The solution is not to avoid these minor problems, because they will keep appearing no matter how hard we may try.

The only effective solution is to develop detachment and keep things in perspective. A powerful benefit of yoga and meditation is that we are able to detach ourselves from these insignificant, yet irritating thoughts. This detachment is not indifference, it is that we are able to maintain equanimity in the midst of life’s inevitable turbulence, to open up connection and flow with our deeper being. We are so much more than our mind and couscious thoughts.

Mindfulness

Yoga and meditation takes us to the source, which is to be found via our own peace of mind, heart opening and inspiration. If we have no peace of mind and are constantly attacked by negative thoughts, being present will remain elusive, no matter how successful we are on an outer plane. It is perhaps hard to imagine that poise can occur from the simple act of being. However, if we can do yoga and meditate, we will discover an unexpected source within our own self.  Yoga and Meditation shows us that mindfulness is not dependent on outer circumstances, but on our inner attitude.

Concentration

Be it work, sport or music, concentration is essential to fulfill our potential. In one pointed concentration where there is great power; our energy and focus do not get dissipated. When we have concentration we can do more in less time. Through yoga and meditation, we gradually improve our powers of concentration. This focus can be used for both deepening meditation itself, and also other activities we engage in.

Spontaneity and Creativity

When we live in the thinking mind, we are usually preoccupied with the past or future and often corresponding negative emotions guilt, remorse, fear or anxiety.  When we spend our energy on negative emotions around the past and future, we cover up our natural spontaneity, creativity, intuition and connection from the moment. We may feel we have neither creativity or spontaneity, but, if we can learn to silence the mind, we realise that we have far more potential, deep joy and intelligence than we may currently believe. Some of the great thinkers and scientists were able to make important discoveries when they could absorb themselves in their work, to the exclusion of all else. Yoga and Meditation helps us to live in the current moment, and thus can help us to unlock our creative potential.

Discovering the Purpose of Life.

If you are satisfied with your current life of if you feel perfect contentment and happiness then, at the moment, meditation is not necessary although still benificial to preserve and increase health, deep insight and satisfaction. However, if you feel empty inside; if you aspire to know more about the nature of existence and life, then a private yoga retreat or private yoga class and  meditation program can be of great help. Usually we look for meaning in life through external events and other people. Yoga and Meditation, however, shows us that we can gain a greater understanding of life through knowing who we are.  In deep yoga and meditation, we gain a new perspective of life, uncoloured by our own egoistic perspective. For those who wish it, meditation can become a lifelong process of answering the eternal question: “Who am I?”

The benefits of yoga including meditation are real, and with perseverance life transforming. It is a mistake to expect all these benefits in the first few attempts; the mind takes time to tame. It is difficult to explain all the benefits of yoga and meditation, because it involves a state of consciousness that cannot be expressed by words. To appreciate the benefits of yoga and  meditation, it is essential to practice yourself. Alas, it is not sufficient to just read about it.
