On the path of yoga, it is not about yoga, but about paying attention to each person’s different foundation, duration, understanding, and realm of practicing yoga.
The realm of yoga practice can be broken down from three aspects: asana practice, breathing practice, and spiritual practice.
These three aspects complement each other, and each aspect has five different realms.
Let’s take a look and see which realm you are in? The realm of asana practice is imitation, proficiency, perception, absorption, and self-discipline.
Many people practice yoga, starting from posture imitation and becoming proficient after learning to imitate.
After becoming proficient, the perceptual response gradually penetrates into the body, and after deepening, the sensory consciousness enters the absorption and inward feeling.
When reaching the inner world, it gradually advances towards self-discipline.
Self discipline is the best form of progress, not losing confidence.
There is a resistance point in this process, that is, when approaching the point of convergence, many people cannot walk in, which is bound by the posture.
The binding factor lies in the anxiety caused by external postures and the unwillingness to let go of comparisons.
Learn to calm down, not pursue postures, and let postures come naturally.
The realm of breathing practice is short, rough, gentle, soft, and silent.
Many people practice breathing, initially with short breaths, which bring impatience and unease, accompanied by rough sounds, which is a bad breath in yoga.
When the breathing begins to slow down, the body and mind begin to coordinate and cooperate with each other.
As the breathing skills deepen, the breath moves towards the subtle sound, which can control the energy of the breath and reach a silent state.
Breathing is very powerful.
The resistance point of the process is often at a gentle point, and many people cannot breathe slowly because their heart is not quiet enough.
Only when the heart slows down can the breath slow down.
The realm of spiritual practice is stillness, meditation, stillness, stillness, stillness.
Silence is the process of allowing the body to first settle down, that is, stop acting, and move towards stillness through stillness.
This process is called mindfulness cessation.
By meditating, the conscious mind can rest in a place of concentration.
By focusing and resting, the fluctuation of consciousness can be reduced.
Resting means breathing softly to be silent, which can achieve natural cessation.
When the two desires of the nose and tongue stop, the door to meditation opens and leads to the Zen realm.
The resistance point of the process is often between rest and cessation, and many people cannot achieve rest due to excessive fluctuations in consciousness, which requires time for training and improvement.
More practice of meditation can reduce fluctuations in consciousness.
Yoga practice is so real, it has no shortcuts.
We can only understand the true essence of yoga by not being impatient and exploring inward- Message with rewards – Today’s topic: There are no shortcuts to yoga practice
