Yoga During A Holiday
from: EugeneEven during holidays we are besieged by outside stress that can ruin a vacation. Holiday stress is an unusual expression, but it is real and can cause serious problems. Countless reasons exist to get angry during your holiday: poor service, bad weather, high prices, noisy tourists and irritating bugs. Yoga offers several ways to reduce the effects of such negative elements in the form of meditation, sakshin, pratyahara and pranayama.
Meditation is a recommended practice when holiday stress factors increase. Meditation prepares you for potential stress and is valuable as you encounter these obstacles. Sakshini is a detached state of consciousness that allows you to get a better understanding of the realities around you. Pratyahara is a peacefulness obtained by reducing outside interference. The mind becomes relaxed, focusing on the inside of your body. Pranayama lets you calm yourself in almost any difficult situation by regulating your breathing and harmonizing your body energies.
Preparing for stress factors is important for a successful holiday. Planning for a potential problem doesn't mean worrying about it ahead of time. It means that when the problem arises, you should have an understanding of why it happened. You will get better results by addressing an issue calmly, instead of acting without thinking.
When a problematic situation comes up, try to "step out" of your body and see yourself. Objectivity is difficult, especially when it comes to your self, but it helps to get a neutral perspective. Making a decision with an objective mind will prove more successful than jumping head-first into a situation. Thoughts such as "I couldn't help myself" should be discouraged. Take control of your inner self, and you will have better control of the surrounding world. First, you should feel your body's reaction to an outside element and only react when a clear judgment tells you what to do. Breathing techniques help when it comes to calming an impulsive spirit and pacifying a particular situation.
You must interrupt your subconscious mind before you can take control of a situation. Initial responses are hard to avoid, but it is essential that, through practice, you obtain a feeling of control over your reactions. The first reaction to a negative element can be either that of fighting or that of fleeing. In either case, tension fills you, and it could be days or weeks before you forget an unfortunate event. A balanced response can eliminate tension before it gets a chance to grow. Remember that most holidays are short and you can't afford to waste it in a bad mood. After all, you are on holiday to recharge your energy, not to waste it on meaningless stress.
Try, try and you will succeed. This can be rightly said about this article on yoga. We never thought we would succeed in writing this article!
