Sookshma Yoga and Meditation
In the Journey called ‘Life’, we are constantly subjected to changes in the surroundings. The two entities that are subject to this change are Mind and Body.
The effects of these surroundings changes the way we feel, the way think and act. From this simple statement, we see that there are three processes around which life revolves:
Feel – Perception of external environment
Think – Internal processing of this information received
Act – External manifestation of the thought into some action
Every moment we are constantly doing this consciously or unconsciously.
We all are diverse and different in the way we feel about certain things and situations and so we differ in the way we think and act.
There are many theories that explain how and why we all are different.
But there is one thing that is common to all of us. “Think and Act” process that is emanating from “Mind and Body” respectively.
The reason for chaos in our lives, and lack of peace, is because of the disharmony between what we think and how we act.
This is where the ancient seers and wise have developed methods of streamlining the thoughts and action.
This process of Union of Thought and Action is possible through Yoga and Meditation.
Sookshma Yoga that was developed by Sunita Bapooji, 25 years back, has its roots in the ancient principles of Yoga and Meditation defined by the sage, Patanjali.
Yoga asanas (postures and exercises) handles various movements of the body to stimulate different nerve centers/plexus that are essential for perceiving information (the way we feel).
The various asanas (postures) in Yoga create an alignment of these nerve centers and also creates a subtle connection with the thought process of Mind.
Meditation on the other hand, creates gaps in our thought process so that we are not overwhelmed with the information fed into our Eco-system, thus enabling us to slowly respond to changes.
Meditation creates a serene space of silence in which we can hear our real self, unbiased from the external forces that can disturb our efficient decision making in our lives.
This way both Yoga and Meditation, not only individually strengthen the Mind and Body, but also creates a strong bridge between Mind and Body. They give access to the immense energy that is being created by individual cells within the body and mind that can be used to channel properly into our creative endeavors in bringing abundance health, wealth and peace.
Yoga and Meditation brings the ancient principles from Patanjali in creating the communion of thoughts and action and brings awareness into the self.
Peace is realized as a state of mind when there is harmony between what we think and how we act.
In the world of externalization and consumerism, where we are always outward and distracted with so many intrusions into our Mind-Body ecosystem, Yoga and Meditation acts as security barrier protecting the Mind and Body from the turbulences, so indirectly creating Peace within.
Also there are a lot of internal changes that are happening constantly in the mind and body, because of hormonal changes and ageing process.
These chemical changes can cause fluctuation in the way we feel, think and act.
Again Sookshma Yoga and Meditation aligns the Mind and Body into a single plane. It elevates the human thinking into more positive and wiser zone.
Yoga and Meditation create an Inner sanctuary from which we are trained not to react, but to respond to the external environment.
