Writing 10 positive points.

 Pratipaksha Bhavana -  Pratipaksha means " opposite" and bhavana "emotions, feelings"  

This word has so deep meaning which explains us to think positive whenever you get negative emotions. Example, if you are running and u fall down especially it happens in case of a child when he/she falls down what we do??

We immediately divert the child's mind to something opposite. We cuddle with love and show some different happy object or clap and motivate the child. Such quality therefore is inherent in us but the only difference is as we grow we fail to practice Pratipaksha Bhavana. With this very simple and yet so beautiful I am trying to help all my readers that it is so important to see positive in negative situations. My previous blog has clearly defined how things are transitory and its important not to get attached with any emotions, thoughts but to be mindful of what is important for our mental & physical upliftment. 

Remember nothing is permanent and We should focus on our routine activities without being attached to any emotions. Emotions being negative and positive therefore any negative emotions that occurs we have to develop opposite feeling of positive mental attitude. 

Like if there is a big loss in the business and our immediate reactions comes from different things we are attached to like money, lifestyle, relations, material possessions. Now, how shall we look positive in such a situation??

My simple answer is Do what u feel best and leave it on rest. There are multiple options and every options will have best and worst side to it. A person who is balanced and willing to accept will accept both and decide. Failures are part of life and no one can deny as long as we are trying and happy. If your mental condition gets unstable I suggest take a break and spend time in learning which gratifies your buddhi. See and explore the challenges and find out the way to it without putting toll on your mental calmness. 

Thus, Writing 10 positive points daily helps in feelings of gratitude for every small and big things we have in life. Without complaining for bigger aspirations see the basic food, nature, air, water, sunlight, daily food, daily clothes, internal well being, access to technology, ability to think and write, create.

This daily habit of writing 10 positive points or at least 5 positive points daily creates a psychological changes in a human mind. therefore it has a therapeutic effect also. if a person is low in mood or depress, such activity helps a person to relate to the positive things in life. Sometimes we are so engrossed in daily work that we actually don't put our attention towards life we are living, food we are eating and the mind we are developing. 

Things just go on piling up and we stop looking life in a curious manner. the whole objective of writing 10 positive points is to deepen your consciousness towards looking positive changes happening inside and outside of you. This trains your subconscious mind consciously to think, believe and live positively.

NAMASTE!!🙏

 

Misconception about Yoga in today’s time

 

Hello all,

This topic is really important for me as a yoga enthusiast and a passion for dance. I believe many people are lacking the core advantages of yoga and its use in progressing in our life. Without wasting much time let’s start to understand and I want everyone just read till the end because I am sure u will be amazed to know the misconceptions against the reality to yoga.

LET me first clear u all “Yoga” means ‘to unite’ it comes from Sanskrit word ‘yuj’

1- misconception – Yoga is Just physical asanas

I have heard and seen a lot of trainers and coach focus asanas as a physical training rather a wholesome training consisting of not just physical asana but meditative benefits attached to it. It’s a whole science and yoga therefore can’t be limited to physical development. In order to attend its complete benefit it is important to train under a yoga guru or coach who teaches how a body and mind with the practice of yoga as a way of life can manage as well as handle things consciously well. The learner should be able to perform positively because u know the phrase ‘As the body so is your mind’ but I say ‘your body is a part of your external appearance, but what is internal is the real you’. So, make sure your training involves not just physical stretch but the meditative benefits which will only be achieved by learning from a guru who has knowledge related to the asana’s building uniformity with self.

2  misconception  Yoga doesn’t provide weight loss benefits:-

If I tell you that weight loss in today’s time have become a trending advertisements you see everywhere. What does weight loss means?

If you have eaten extra calories which is not burning into energy fuel and stored as a fat cells in your body means we are gaining weight. In this whole line I spoke about calories, sometimes people know healthy eating is so important to look fit and healthy. We are aware that balance diet is important to avoid over eating and unnecessary calories in your body. BUT, here I must clear you your body is a well programmed machine and it can perform thousand times better than u even think of it. If u have felt u have consumed more calories more than a week the best idea is to balance in your next week because your body already has fat stored for energy. This I am talking for a person who is slightly over weighted.

Now, let’s understand we don’t know all of these and we have gone obese or have gained too much weight. Not an issue at all, Yoga in both the cases will help u so very much. Your exercise should be a mix of everything like dance, gym, yoga etc. If an overweight person starts following diet and goes daily to the gym he/she will definitely get the expected results with continuous practice & discipline. Yoga here can be a boon if someone doesn’t know I will clear you, you just need to meditate daily for 40 mins (it can be morning – 20 mins, evening 20 mins) this will boost your self confidence and make your day as powerful as your discipline. This 40 mins is just you with yourself. You will notice in a month you will get your energy uplifted, your mind calmness, and a sense of achievement. With that, doing yoga stretches everyday can make your core so strong and increase flexibility of your body well. It’s important to be flexible to avoid rigidity in your life.

3-misconception Yoga can be done by only a certain age groups:-

Yoga is open for all age groups and children can also start yoga after 5 years. There are simple asana and pranayama which children can do. Thus, now u can understand a child won’t do gym at the age of 5yrs but can definitely do yoga. HOW?

I will brief u certain asana/kriya a child must do so that as he/she grow, their body is well stretched and flexible with higher concentration as well as confidence. Trust me, if your child performs yoga with you from an early age then it will make the child more conscious and active. Also, it develops different bhavas (attitude) to experience the odds of life with greater will power. It is important for children (above 12 yrs) to stretch and practice yoga to relax mind and preserve the vital energy of the body.
For elderly population, yoga is a must as it involves asana and pranayama which is so much important to remove toxins, strengthen your core, relax your mind, increase oxygen capacity and loosen the tension in your body. It saves Prana energy of the body & mind through complete relaxation and breathing.

YOU can write in the comment and share more misconception you hear on your journey of YOGA.

My workstation

I am so much lost in my beautiful days and celebrating life that I hardly believed I have a biggest storage house who is cultivating big data records and duplication of my actions. I hope my friends and readers have guessed it already. This very complicated engine that represents who we are and what we think. It is called MANA.
MANA which is a sanskrit word means Mind. Our mind is the chief of all our Indriya's which are associated by 5 BHUTAS. Also called as Panch mahabhuta. In Indian philosophy the whole world as well as our body is made of this 5 bhutas. Every cosmic creation is made up of this 5 basic elements that are Prithvi ( earth), Jal (water), Agni(fire), Vayu(Air), Aakash(Aether). In Ayurveda, the human body is considered to be made of these 5 elements.
Lets understand how our workstation commands and how our Gunas rule our emotions.

Tanmatra is a noun which means – rudimentary or subtle element, merely that, mere essence, potential or only a trifle. There are five sense perceptions – hearing, touch, sight, taste and smell, and there are the five tanmatras corresponding to the five sense perceptions and five sense-organs. The tanmatras combine and re-combine in different ways to produce the gross elements – earth, water, fire, air and ether, which make up the gross universe perceived by the senses. The senses play their part by coming into contact with the objects, and carry impressions of them to the manas which receives and arranges them into a precept.
According to the Vedic theory of creation, the tanmatras are the basis of all corporeal existences because from them evolve the Bhutas, the building blocks of the perceptible universe.

This is best to describe how our 5 senses take control of our Panch mahabhutas and give us the different Gunas to evolve like Satava, Rajas and Tamas. Before we come to gunas, let me give the whole picture of indriyas that creates a whole chitta and manifestations in our mind.

This is the easiest way to display how Manas and other 15 indriyas and 5 subtle elements and 5 gross elements produce different dualities of life like pain &pleasure, love &hate, dharma & adharma, jnana & ajnana, vairagya & avairagya, etc. 

Such emotions derive clearly from Mahat that is buddhi which percolates this 3 gunas depending which is more than the other guna with reference to our sense and manas.

Satva is the quality of balance, harmony, goodness, purity, universalizing, holistic, constructive, creative, building, positive attitude, luminous, serenity, being-ness, peaceful, virtuous.

Rajas is the quality of passion, activity, neither good nor bad and sometimes either, self-centeredness, egoistic, individualizing, driven, moving, dynamic.

Tamas is the quality of imbalance, disorder, chaos, anxiety, impure, destructive, delusion, negative, dull or inactive, apathy, inertia or lethargy, violent, vicious, ignorant.
