A Brief Look at the Philosophy Behind Yoga
The yogis believe that people need to live by certain laws of nature and that these laws are not stationary but must evolve and change throughout the ages. One of the main things nature uses to encourage a person to move on to the next stage of life is pain
Yoga is a holistic therapy that attempts to redirect stress and negative energy and helps to diffuse it so it will not lead to a buildup of stress, which can then cause sickness in the body. That is the goal of most holistic approaches- to stop health problems before they start. In this way they are an effective form of preventative medicine that have been shown to have amazing results.
The yogis (or yoga practitioners) believe that as human beings what we seek most is happiness and joy and that most people settle for less than they deserve in terms of happiness. The yogis believe that most people settle for very brief and temporary life pleasures but feel that at some point in most people's lives they long for more and thus begin a quest of sorts for happiness and bliss that is not fleeting. Yoga came out of the Buddhist tradition and originated in China where it has been practiced effectively for thousands of years.
The yogis believe that people need to live by certain laws of nature and that these laws are not stationary but must evolve and change throughout the ages. One of the main things nature uses to encourage a person to move on to the next stage of life is pain. In fact pain is an early stage motivator.
Many people search for happiness through their personal relationships, their work, through money or through drugs or alcohol. For a certain length of times these things may work but eventually a person will long for more than any of these things can provide.
Most people reach a stage in their lives where they feel that their life is lacking in happiness and a sense of purpose and so they begin to look for more meaning by looking inward. This is where yoga comes in. Until you reach this point, yoga sits back quietly and waits to be ready to be put to work in a person's life.
As the spirit evolves a person finds a greater sense of peace and tranquility within themselves. As the spirit develops and moves to a greater level, pain no longer needs to be a motivator. In fact each new stage that the spirit moves into brings more joy, and happiness as well as peace and a greater sense of well-being.
As this happens, pain stops become a motivating factor and the reward of the richness of the spirit becomes what moves a person to greater levels of growth.
When looked at as a concrete practice as opposed to an abstract concept, yoga is an "applied science of the mind and body." Practicing yoga on a regular basis helps to keep the body In Its natural form of balance and it helps to keep a person's level of health at its optimum best.
Be aware however that practicing yoga does not create a state of perfect health but it helps to set up an environment for good health to grow and develop. Yoga also teaches that a diet of natural foods as well as exercise, plenty of fresh air, and a mind that is calm and serene help to keep a person In line with the spirit of God.
