Loving kindness of yoga practice for self-love
Loving kindness of yoga practice for self-love
There is an important thing that you have to remember when it comes to love: to love yourself especially others. Indeed, it may sound self -centered, but everything we do - including care for others, love for others, selfless giving and good in the world - comes out of us. Imagine as a natural water source - the neat, pure, stronger and lover the source is, the better the water quality. A source that can be crumbled and filled with dirt probably produces water of poor quality or no water at all. There are many everyday ways that we can show ourselves love and care, including abhyanga or 'self-massage', a relaxing bath, a relaxing yoga session or a delicious meal, but they are just as effective that are carried out on an energetic and subtle level. Yoga postures, mudras, meditations and breathing techniques have been practiced for thousands of years to change the condition of body and mind. So if you want to start increasing your love level, try to add the following methods to your yoga practice:
affirmation: I let love in, I give out love
attitudes:
practice asanas that open the heart area and promote a combination of trust, courage and softness. Low rashes with hands behind the back help to open the chest, shoulders and collapsed, while practicing compensation such as Warrior 3 can stimulate the ability to trust ourselves deeply. Connect to the goddess pose and the potash mudra with powerful female energy and stimulate the area of the heart with Dhanuarasna and Ustrasana (arch and camel posture). Learn to soften and let go of the child's pose, and practice, simply lying on a uphill or pillow with your back, your chest open and the arms stretched far. Opening the breast in this way and the release is an effective way to practice loosening barriers and blockages that we sometimes put in front of our heart.
Mudra ::
PADMA MUDRA (known in English as "Lotus Mudra") is a necessary memory of personal growth and the constant journey on which we all to move the light of the truth from the dark and muddy water of illusion (doubts, negative self -talk, uncertainty of the body) (the light of the truth (the knowledge that we are so much more than our appearance, social status, etc.). Lotus Mudra can help promote compassion for yourself and thus enable compassion for others.
mantra:
The Anahata-Chakra is the place in us that contains the energy of love-the ability to receive, feel, give and be. The word Anahata is translated loosely as "unbeaten" and refers to a sense of this aspect in us, which remains unaffected and unaffected by the outside world, unchanged and unaffected, and to the place where our true self is. The mantra for the heart chakra is sweet potato (pronounced 'yum'). If you are musical, try to sing the key F, as this is the tone that is closest to the vibration frequency of the heart chakra.
pranayama:
The Heartmath The institute in the USA is a non -profit organization that is devoted to improving the life of people by making it aware of how strong the energy of the heart is. They recommend practicing heart -focused breathing, a technique in which energy is pointed to the heart, while slowly and deep is breathed. They advise; " Imagine in breathing that you do this through your heart and imagine that this is done by your heart. (In the beginning, it can help you put your hand on your heart when breathing to focus on your heart.)"
meditation:
Metta Bhavna meditation is an old and effective Buddhist practice that has been permeated by centuries of practice, and currently in a world that seems to be a little ignorant and drivers, it seems incredibly up to date. Practice of this meditation can often cause the feeling of being more connected and loving towards others and recognizing how important it is to feel love for ourselves. Practice:
direct your attention to the room of your heart, breathe slowly and deeply and recognize feelings of love and care that come from this room
Repeat for yourself:
- I may be healthy, healthy and strong.
- May I be happy?
- I may stay in peace.
think of someone you like and who respect you.
Send these feelings of warmth and care as you wish:
- may you be healthy.
- may you be happy.
- may you stay in peace.
think of someone you hardly know and for whom you feel neutral. This can be someone you have seen on the street that you see on the bus or who comes by at work in the corridor.
Send these feelings of warmth and care as you wish:
- may you be healthy.
- may you be happy.
- may you stay in peace.
Think of someone with whom you were recently upset or with whom you argued. Choose someone with whom you were slightly irritated. It may have been a slow driver or someone at work, but not someone they believe that he has deeply injured them.
Send these feelings of warmth and care as you wish:
- may you be healthy.
- may you be happy.
- may you stay in peace.
If you want, do this with someone who has violated you in the past. It is important to remember that you do not tolerate or cheap what you did. They simply allow themselves to let go of any pain or anger that they carry within them and free themselves from these feelings.
Send these feelings of warmth and care as you wish:
- may you be healthy.
- may you be happy.
- may you stay in peace.
Send the loving goodness to everyone in the area, to your city, your country, the world.
- may they all be healthy,
- may they all be happy,
- may they all stay in peace,
Finally, concentrate on yourself so that the feeling of the kindness of your whole being fulfills. Inhale peacefully, exhale peacefully; In peace with you and the world. End by becoming aware of your breathing and space around you again.
