SPIRITUALITY IN YOGA: AN INSIGHT

 SPIRITUALITY IN YOGA: AN INSIGHT


All of us would recognize yoga as a physical exertion that one would pursue for a toned body and an hour away from schools and colleges. However, yoga is also a mental practice where you work through emotional stress and psychological challenges. 

According to various quantitative and qualitative analysis, yoga practices seems to be positively associated with spirituality. This association concerns various aspects of spirituality such as spiritual aspirations, a search for wisdom, and a sense of meaning, peace, faith, hope, compassion, and happiness within. 

Yoga practitioners seek to experience and become aware of the spirit, or the energy, within and without. They would meditate tediously in pursuit of spirit; a driving force, a motivation, a reason behind everything we think and everything we do.  

Numerous studies and reviews have reported that yoga potentially induces positive mental health, such as mindfulness, resilience, affect, happiness, well-being, satisfaction with life, self-compassion, and social relationships. 

Although in western countries, the physical benefits are more prevalent than the spiritual ones. Even though physical fitness appears to be the most important aspect of yoga practice in western society, spiritual benefits are still manifested. It's highly encouraged to ponder over the spiritual aspects of yoga and delve inside us to find the deeper meaning of life.

Nada Yoga

  Nada Yoga- Let the sounds of universe heal your being -By Baishakhi Guin There must be a music app on your phone with a song put on loop and everytime you find time or want to relax, you plug in your earphones and listen to the music. That music does something to you, an unexplainable harmony starts swirling within your body while you start to feel at ease with yourself.  Everything in this universe has a voice, the living and the non-living, they are singing into the cosmos at a frequency that isn't always audible to humans.
