For those unfamiliar with yoga, relaxation and meditation training may seem quite simple
. 
It seems that everyone who practices yoga is either sitting quietly (meditating) or taking a nap (relaxing)
. 
However, anyone who has tried both methods will tell you that it is much more complicated than it seems
. 
What’s the difference between relaxation and meditation? The simplest difference between the two is that relaxation is more focused on the body, while meditation tends to focus on the mind
. 
When practicing, think of breathing, relaxation and meditation as a continuous exercise
.
Breathing → relaxation → meditation, deep breathing begins the process of relaxation, and relaxation promotes the process of peace of mind
.
Let your mind calm down, witness and observe your thoughts and feelings without having to judge or act on them
.
This leads to a state of calm, emptiness of thoughts and feelings
.
The silence that followed formed the state of meditation
.
Ways to relax: ways to relax are also different
.
A combination of breathing, visualization and concentration can be used to help with relaxation training
.
Other techniques include body scanning, progressive muscle relaxation, spontaneous, affirmation, sound relaxation, and guided imagination
.
You can choose according to your personality and needs
.
The way to Meditate: just as there is no right way to do yoga postures, there is no right way to meditate
.
Meditation techniques are generally divided into six categories: breathing, visualization, chanting, praying, concentration and meditation inquiry
.
If you find that you can’t really relax or meditate, remember that simply lying down or sitting down and focusing on your heartbeat or natural breathing rhythm will slow you down and allow you to observe different aspects of your body, mind and spirit more slowly
.

.
It’s important to integrate breathing, relaxation and meditation training into your life
.
They may not be as compelling as Yoga itself, but they are an important part of the whole yoga experience
.
Without them, yoga postures are just exercises
.
With them, you can connect the ability to breathe, relax and use the power of the mind to the various intentions of yoga postures
