Nowadays, my yoga teacher , M is trying to teach us to love. The love for ourself , for others and all living beings. She told us that if we don't have love in our heart, we can never perfect our yoga pose. Only with love, our heart will melt , our body relax and then we can perfect our pose and get the optimum benefits from such perfection.
Come to think about it, she is not wrong. All of us fell in love with our loved ones when we are in our twenties or thirties but after starting a family,we tend to lost our lovely feelings and go after another love which is MONEY. Our hearts harden and our body stiffen due to the long hours of work and neglect. How can we soften the heart that has harden? We lost it because of our love for MONEY and now , we have to find our true and real love for ourself and our loved ones. Most of the times, we even lost our fire of love.
If we find our love , our heart will melt and all our troubles or problems will be released and drift away . If not all these bondage tied up our hearts with a million knots. By finding love, we can released these knots and make our heart free. That is Free to love again. How wonderful it will be ?
With these new found freedom and the lightness in our heart. Our body will obey our mind and we can execute pose that we can never do before. With the lighter body, it will influence the mind and give confidence to our mind that we can do it. If our mind believe or is aware of this confidence, it will let our body move back or arch at a more deeper angle or the twist.
In tantra yoga, we talk about sexual release which boost our energy and the well being of our vital orgains. In our sex act , if we can keep our climax and control our energy to nurish the organs, it will revitalized and re-energized our vital organs and improve our general health. If this energy can be achieve at the highest level , it can also cure sickness of all types.
Love will give us confidence , the strength and the way to excuting difficult pose and make us enjoy yoga much more deeply and profound. Not only that, love lights up our life and make us happy which in turn, improves our body and mind. It is all in a cirlce.
If you are not practicing yoga, just control your breath and it will lead you into another world of calmness and peace. With each in-take of breath, we draw in love and when we breath out, we give out love. The world wil be full of love and love will bring peace and the circle will keep building and revoliving.
Namaste.
