Gaining Balance with Yoga
How yoga reaches balance
Yoga considers the inner ear, which promotes human balance of the mind and body. Once a person gains balance, he/she is able to function better in society. Most people lack balance, which is why these people feel uncomfortable in society, workplace, relationships, etc. The goal then is accomplishing balance and that balance starts with the body. Yogi (Male) and Yogini (Female) must focus on the inner ear when practicing yoga in an effort to gain balance. In addition, Yogi and Yogini must practice Hatha Yogic methods first in an effort to achieve a degree of balance.
To find balance one must ground the body. Grounded is the process of finding a centre, which promotes firmness, and the ability to become flexible. Once a person is grounded, they learn who they are, as well as what they hope to gain in life. To ground oneself Yogi or Yogini must join the legs and arms, thus harmonizing them so that he has the carriage to stand or move his body without feeling off balance.
When one gains balance, he starts to feel confident in public and home environments. To gain that balance one must focus on the inner ear. We can start the process of gaining balance by practicing Hatha, which is the key to balance the body, gain vitality, and learn breathing practices that takes one to the highest level of yogic practices.
How to gain balance:
First, think of your origin. Where is your starting point? Next, ask if your origin provides you any source of encouragement. Is that encouragement your origins provide you strong, or do you see areas that you can build on to gain strength? Do you have tangles that entwine with origins that promote competition?
The first question is answered best when one realizes he/she was created. The body and mind was created by a spiritual guide, which one must learn and come to grips with this knowledge. Do you have a starting point? Sure, you can start by recognizing that you need support. We all do. The support can come in many forms; however, yoga is the support you want to gain now.
Next, you must realize areas of growth. Growth is the process of gaining encouragement. Next, you will need to learn your direction in life, since direction achieves balance. We all have the choice to decide the direction we want to grow. Therefore, you may want to ask yourself how is it that you intend to grow to reach your highest peaks in healing.
Next, do you understand spiritual needs? Are you aware of your spiritual needs? While you practice Hatha, you will not need to concern your self with this understanding at this point, however as you grow in yogic practices you will need to recognize your spiritual needs. The facts go back to balance.
Balance
Think of balance. What does it mean to you? Balance is the stability we have when one practices to achieve the same level of weight on both sides of the body and mind. Balance is emotional and mental steadiness, yet to gain that balance one must focus on the body.
Let’s practice balance, starting with the “balancing cat.”
The balance cat will help boost confidence, balance, concentration, etc. First, start by placing your hands on your knees. Now position the hands by placing them in a straight line beneath the shoulders, and place the palms, spreading them until they palms touch the floor. Make sure the knees are in a straight line beneath the hips. Now, do not lock the elbows as you straighten the arms. Exhale, and then slide your hand (Right) toward the front and then extend your leg (Left) backward. Make sure that your hands and the toes on touching the floor. Inhale: Next, lift the right arm, left leg, and raise them to a height that feels comfortable for you. Lift the leg as high as you can possibly reach.
