Working Principles Behind Yoga
from: Kevin PedersonYoga is a sacred practice and a healing tool of growth and
transformation. It honors the individuals spiritual, emotional,
psychological and physical process of human evolution. Yoga
gives you the courage to undertake your own journey towards the
Self. Yoga fills you with a feeling of coming home. You will
discover a powerful tool, probably the path you are searching
for. Especially if you have a sense of purpose to learn, you
will receive great satisfaction in practicing and working with
individuals and groups.
Further, Yoga is a complex integrated system that has a history
of 5,000 or more years. Beginners can easily be snowed under by
the vastness of Yoga practice, its philosophy, and literature.
However, here are the key working principles that will help you
understand better the different aspects of Yoga.
Ten Key Fundamental Principles.
1. Yoga is traditionally a liberation teaching. It guides you to
free yourself from your historical limitations of who and what
you were to become something greater and better.
2. To truly learn and understand Yoga, a teacher must be able to
instruct, either in a class or even on a video. This is crucial
to ultimate success in Yoga. However, you can benefit from a
good many Yogic practices even without instruction, since any
form of Yoga is better than none at all.
3. Since everybody has their different strengths and weaknesses,
Yoga has different styles developed over time. Here are the
seven most common:
Raja-Yoga Hatha-Yoga Jnana-Yoga Karma-Yoga Bhakti-Yoga
Tantra-Yoga Mantra-Yoga
4. Yoga is both a theoretical and practical journey of the
jivatma, individual soul. In order to practice Yoga well, you
ought to pay attention to the ideals behind its practical
disciplines as well as to the exercises and techniques
supporting its theories. This calls for considerate and
conscientious practice. For instance, the regular and right
practice of Yogasanas will most certainly help you maintain
optimum physical health.
5. All forms of Yoga have their grounding in a sound moral life.
For this reason laws have been laid down, laws that stand for
moral virtues like nonviolence, truthfulness, and abstention
from theft, compassion and kindness. Basically it' Yoga is all
about leading a positive life. Without a firm foundation in
these moral and ethical principles, you cannot practise and
benefit from Yoga.
6. No matter how simple a particular yogic approach may be, all
approaches call for a huge commitment. If you fear change and
cling to your old habits, you cannot succeed in Yoga. The
practice requires considerable personal effort and that involves
self-discipline.
7. Yoga consists of a lot of practice, both physical and mental.
These can be further split up into two major categories. The
first is the performance of a set of exercises or techniques
intended to produce a positive state of mind in us. The second
is the complementary practice of letting go old behavioral
patterns, habits and attachments that hold you back
8. In Yoga, focus is the key to making improvements. With focus
come control and power, which is the nature of consciousness
itself.
9. Return to the basics, the more you untangle your life the
better off you will be.
10. Yoga is the progressive process of replacing your
unconscious thought patterns and behavior with new, more
beneficial patterns, which lead towards a better life. It takes
time to reach this goal of self-realization. Hence,
practitioners must first practice patience.
We should be willing to commit ourselves to a lifetime of
practice. There must be a basic desire to grow, regardless of
whether or not we achieve enlightenment in this life. One of
Yoga's fundamental beliefs is that no effort is ever wasted.
Even the slightest attempt at transforming oneself makes a
difference. It is patient cumulative effort that, ultimately,
grows into self-realization.
