the law. Having understood nature to a
fair extent through science and
technology, man has continuously made
attempts to build a good future. But
most of his findings, theories and plans
regarding a safer future, a healthier
planet, a better lifestyle, have been
limited to paper. Man’s desires, his
pleasures and luxuries, his slavery to the
mind and the senses has led to actions
and deeds that have caused heavy
imbalance in the planet’s ecological
system.
For every man or woman, life is a
precious gift that they don’t want to lose
at any cost. They also understand that
balance in the planet (their home) is
being disturbed out of their desires. But
enslavement to our desires leaves us
with little scope to sustain the balance.
After all, when we can’t even balance
our own life, how can we even imagine
balancing the life of others?
Therefore, it is the need of the hour to
balance our life. Yoga is widely
acknowledged as a tool for relaxation, as
a practice that is even being
recommended by doctors today to
tackle stress and lifestyle disorders.
Though Yoga has become a global
practice today, its true meaning and goal
has somewhere got lost in the maze of
materialism. Here are some tips for the
seekers and practitioners to keep
moving and healing on the path:
[ Seeking is the key. Having
questions are great. Being
judgemental is not. Learn not to
judge. Watch those videos and
read those books that can
transform your life. Don’t hesitate
to join a retreat or attend a festival
if you want to learn.
[ Being part of the community will
help you a lot. The concept of
Sangha propagated by Gautama
the Buddha is very ancient. You can
share your experiences and seek
help to understand them better.
[ Meditate, chant and dance if you
want. Flow with the inner
dynamism. Never hesitate to
express your love or being
yourself. Remember, there are
mantras out the re that can clear all
the clutter of your mind. There are
asanas and mudras out there that
can twist out all the blockages in
your pranic and physical sheath.
Keep practicing, keep walking on
the path and you will find your
elixir.
