Yoga Obstacles
from: JackieAnyone beginning yoga faces a series of obstacles. You will have to get over all of the following difficulties, long noted by yoga practitioners, to be able to fully benefit from yoga. Here is a quick look at the nine major difficulties:
- 1. Vyadhi - This obstacle refers to physical or mental illness. Practicing yoga is difficult when you are not healthy. A balanced lifestyle ensures that you overcome this obstacle, by preventing sickness.
- 2. Styana - The second major difficulty in yoga refers to an advanced state of apathy that interferes with your willingness to make a commitment. We avoid practice by putting it off, which, in turn, leads excuses for not doing our work.
- 3. Sanshaya - Another interference in the practice of yoga is the issue of doubting its benefits. This problem arises when your self-confidence is low. This leads you to stray from your goals, making you susceptible to outside distractions.
- 4. Pramada - When lack of persistence and will is present, the fourth yoga obstacle comes in place. Yoga needs a unique approach, because it combines arts and sciences. If you practice yoga without the proper emotional and mental states, you may make its positive aspects negative ones.
- 5. Alasya - A lazy and inert state of mind and body will stop you from receiving yoga's benefits. It is difficult for most people to deal with their own will power, creating the perfect conditions for this obstacle. Success is hard to find most of the time, and a strong will power can support your ascent. But a passive approach will almost certainly lead to a slow and ineffective advance.
- 6. Avirati - Physical objects attract most people. Yoga requires you to let go of the ropes that tie you to the material world and to progress in the spiritual realm. Removing the weight of physical things is important in yoga.
- 7. Bhrantidarshan - Misunderstanding the path you are taking while practicing yoga can lead to disappointment. Keep your hopes realistic.
- 8. Alabdha-bhumikatva - We can become victims of our own discouragement. After a failure, we fall into a state of self-deprecation. Failing to advance on the road to your ideal can lead to aggravated forms of this obstacle.
- 9. Anawasthitatwa - Poor yoga practice may also lead to the inability to get to a higher level of consciousness. This can result in disappointment.
Overcoming these obstacles is possible by focusing your mind on elements one at a time. Do not allow these obstacles to increase, because the others will soon do the same. Perseverance and a strong will and commitment is usually effective in dealing with the nine obstacles of yoga.
