Relieve Yourself from Depression, Tension, and Anxiety Part-2"
🌞There's a famous quote written by Father of Yoga, Patanjali Maharshi.🌞
"Yoga Chittavritti Nirodhah"
Union of the jeevatman(Soul) can happen only when a stuffed mind stops fluctuating and settles in stillness.
Let's understand our Mind!
Our mind is like water.
Positive thoughts are like clear flowing water.
Negative thoughts are like muddy and garbage-filled overflowing water.
🌊The overflowing water can bring in anything and everything (Vice) without control there is no clarity and the unwanted thoughts get clogged and the thought flow will get affected. Hence, when there is a blockage in the water(thoughts), it becomes stagnant, and we know anything that gets stagnant will start to stink. Similarly in the case of stagnant thoughts in your minds can lead to Depression in the later stage.🌊
Practicing Yoga on a regular basis can help calm your mind.
It also makes you look into your mind with awareness and check the quality of your thoughts.
Yoga doesn't just mean performing some asanas or set of exercises, Yoga means union, the Jeevatma unites with The Paramatma.
Meditation is not all that complicated, it is about focusing on a single thought, sound or Image or any attributes of God
You can even meditate just by focusing on your breathing.
Calming your mind is very important to have a healthy thinking process, Hence, Postures (Asanas) Breathing techniques (pranayama) Sounds (Mantra chanting) Meditation (Dhyana), meditation is the last when your body is fully prepared to focus beyond your physical being, you will be able to see, check and rectify your thoughts.
🌊When You check your thoughts you can change them or execute them or channel them in the right way.🌊
