Ways to inner peace

Ways to inner peace:

In today's world we are searching for inner peace and we are trying to find it in the things present outside. These materialistic things can never help us to gain it. So, you can drive it by meditation and yoga.

 

Let me tell you my experience when I was at my corporate job, the competition in my office with colleagues used to be so high that sometimes I  felt like quitting this job, gradually I was becoming so fussy and short tempered.

when our soul is disturbed.

 

One of my best friends suggested that I  should join yoga classes at a place where she's been going for 1 year. By listening to her suggestion, I joined it.

 

You know what, in the starting days, it was getting difficult for me to sit straight or to stop thinking about my dreams and fantasies. The most difficult task for me was to sit for 20 minutes by keeping my eyes close.

 

Oh god! That was such a challenge for me because in our jobs from 9 am to 7 pm, we are consistently sitting and working in the cubicles by not sitting straight. So now it was getting tough for me to sit because my back was aching for the first 3 days of meditation and yoga.

 

But then I made up my mind and sat first on a pile of pillows and when I was getting habitual to sit for a certain period of time I removed them. But I wanted to get liberty from inner tumult, so I decided to do it in any condition.

A traditional way to do meditation.

 

Although I was able to see it's effects within 15 days, but they were not everlasting, as it took months and years to see it's continuing results.

But day by day I was getting better afterwards.

 

What meditation does with your brain?

Meditation develops some areas of your brain like the one which deals with your memory, balance, fear, stress and anxiety etc.

As adrenaline hormone in our body is released in the situation of fight or when we are in anxiety, so by doing meditation it's level is decreased and the level of another neurotransmitter that is dopamine is increased.

This helps you to improve your mental and emotional health and stay calm.

 

How yoga helps to maintain your health?

The most important health issues going on all over the world are obesity, diabetes, cancer etc. As the vegetables nowadays are available in the shelves of malls are packed. Not only Vegetables but food is also packed with preservatives which gradually deteriorates our health, when we eat it. And, in this hustling life people  prefer to eat this packed and ready made food.

So yoga, basically, not only helps you to get physically fit but  it also reduces your mental and emotional load. You can practice it with many benefits for both physical and mental health.

 

How yoga gives a boon to your health?

 

Maintains your blood pressure:

 

It's been proven from time to time by scientists , yogic gurus and health experts that yoga has an intense effect on your body, mind and spirit. Bhujangasana, sukhasana and shavasana helps to control hypertension. Scientifically, when our blood vessels get constricted then it leads to increase in blood pressure. So by doing the yogic asanas, your blood vessels will relax and maintain your blood flow, as it can also reduce various cardiac problems.
