Yoga

By on February 19, 2010 in Meditation, Spirituality, Success

Keeping with the spiritual theme of the week, I’d like to go into the weekend with a brief talk about yoga. Much like with meditation, there are numerous different yoga practices, with postures ranging from light and easy ones, to very advanced ones where I wonder how people can bend that way. I personally do yoga pretty much every day. On some days I go through a lengthy yoga program, thought on the days where I do other forms of exercise, like a gym workout, I simply start my day with ’sun salutations’ to stretch out and get my body moving.

I personally enjoy more challenging yoga, where I feel like my body is getting a nice workout and a good stretch. However there are huge benefits to just doing some yoga stretches that don’t get your heart rate up that much. It’s nice that there is variety for everyone – you can always find what you are looking for.

And if you didn’t know that, yoga can be a meditative practice as well. Like with many forms of physical exercise, when you in the middle of it, it’s easier to stay in the present moment and focus on what you are doing, which is one form of meditation.

Until Monday,

V

My name is Victor, I am 24 (in 2009), and I have been studying personal efficacy for 6 years now. Inevitably, I came across a little known movie, 'The Secret', and that opened the flood gates. Since then I have been learning more in-depth the teachings of people featured in the movie and my consciousness has expanded accordingly. Recently I discovered and became involved in the Centre For Spiritual Living in Kelowna which is very much in line with what I understand about the Universe and met some wonderful people. Recently I founded a website, www.affirmationtriggers.com, which is an simple, free, and easy to use tool to keep your mind focused on your intentions and affirmations. With Affirmation Triggers you can send your own, personal intentions and affirmations straight to your cell phone. I was using intention cards for a little while and found them somewhat tedious, so this was a convenient replacement, since my cell phone is always with me. I created a blog - www.affirmationtriggers.com/blog - where I talk about my experiences with the Affirmation Triggers, as well as other questions and ideas that come to my mind as I am learning about the Universe and how I relate to it.

YOGA

NEWS REPORT – THE TELEGRAPH – CALCUTTA  DATED 31st October 2009.

Come November 3 the yoga guru Baba Ramdev, whose influence streches across virtually the whole spectrum of Indian Politics, will add another feather to his cap.

He will address half a million moulvis (religious teachers) at Darul Uloom – Deoband (UP)  along with Shri Shri Ravi Sahkar, the duo becoming the first nion-Muslim religious leaders  ever to speak, at perhaps India’s most influencial Islamic seminary.

The occasion is the annual conclave of the Jamiat Ulema e Hind, the parent body of the seminary and one of the countries largest Muslim Organisation. Sources said 5 lakh moulvis are expected to attend the general session.

‘Yoga is a good exercise. If some words that are supposed to be chanted while performing like ‘OM’ have religious connotations, then Muslim need not utter those. They can instead recite verses from the Quran or praise Allah or remain silent" the Darul Uloom has said.

Ramdev too declarecd that one could do yoga without pronouncing "OM" substituting for it a prolonged utterance of "ALLAH" or "GOD"

I have adapted a few years back while attending yoga classes for a weak back. I hope out of the half million moulvis attending the session, some on takes notice and my adaptation, finds into the mainstream of daily morning routine

About Me

Being born a Saggitarius,I try to live by the dictates of my stars - that is to say, I like to clown around, avoid morons, look forward to meet interesting and charming persons.

Social work is a passion and takes precedence over every thing,it gives me a 'high'without getting into trouble with the long arm of the law.

In the words of K.Geetha Menon I was born in a crack in the concrete, Sun and rain alternated, I became a botanist's dream. Yet the guilllotine is awaited by me, For the palce of my birth, was not the coveted pot !

Yoga!

By on June 27, 2009 in Balance

I woke up with the birds this morning and couldn’t go back to sleep. So i turned on the telly, flicked the channels and came across the mind, body spirit channel and this lady asks, "Do you feel like you’re current beliefs are preventing you from living positively?"…And so, because I’m a big believer in spirituality and healing from inside out i figured how hard can yoga really be?….I began listening to the lady and did everything, well not everything she told me to do–honestly, i had a hard time lifting myself up into a lotus position so i just rolled into a baby ball position( I’m unfamiliar with the names). After 30 mins of it, i felt like a new person! I couldn’t believe how much negative tension and stress i released by just stretching! So, i think i’m gonna start doing this from now on…my old ways of releasing stress and tension only brought more stress and tension. I wish i new of this a long time ago! Well, off to make some green jasmine tea!

Recently I've taken up yoga which has really made a positive impact on my life and my surroundings.

"Human beings are made of body, mind and spirit. Of these, spirit is primary, for it connects us to the source of everything, the eternal field of consciousness." - Deepak Chopra

I joined this group during the passing of Michael Jackson and if it weren't for this website and its love for the King of Pop I honestly wouldn't have an outlet to share my sensitive feelings of Michael's life and his passing. The overflowing of comfort from fellow MJ fans who have loved him as much as me, thanks! Also, thank you very much to Deepak Chopra whom I follow daily on twitter and his loving family.

“In a world filled with hate, we must still dare to hope. In a world filled with anger, we must still dare to comfort. In a world filled with despair, we must still dare to dream. And in a world filled with distrust, we must still dare to believe.” - Michael Jackson 1958 -2009
