We give undue importance to our health
and the treatment of diseases. A large
number of medicines treat only the symptoms
of the disease, and not the root cause.
In fact, the cause of many chronic ailments
is still being researched.
It is here that Yoga therapy comes to
our assistance. Yoga emphasizes treatment
of the root cause of an ailment. It works
in a slow, subtle and miraculous manner.
Modern medicine can claim to save a life
at a critical stage, but, for complete
recovery and regaining of normal health,
one must believe in the efficiency of
Yoga therapy.
The Yogic way of life includes a code
of ethics, regulations, discipline and
more, combined with prayer and meditation.
Even a discussion of these subjects helps
one relieve mental tensions and change
attitudes. Simple Asanas help to stretch
and relax the whole body and neutralize
tensions. The sincere practice of Yoga
postures benefits all levels of experience.
From the restoration of balance, flexibility,
poise, health and well being to the body,
to the cultivation of mental equanimity,
emotional balance, and inner strength.
On a physical level Yoga postures stimulate
the glands, organs, muscles and nerves
in ways that traditional exercise cannot.
Muscle tightness and strain is quickly
relieved and both circulation and digestion
improves. Stress-related symptoms like
poor sleep, fatigue, muscle spasms, anxiety,
and indigestion are greatly improved.
Through continued practice Yoga postures
can have a profound effect on the inner
dimensions of life, establishing deep
calm, concentration, emotional stability
and confidence.
