The Power of Relaxation
Yoga and Total Health|December 2022
We use this word "relaxation" in the practices. There are many relaxation Asanas; Shavasana, Makarasana, Nispanda Bhava. We understand the meaning but whether it is incorporated into our life is the question.
Dr. Jayadeva Yogendra
The Power of Relaxation

A little demonstration may help. For example, if I hold someone's hand and say 'Relax', would that person understand? Because the hand is still held. If the person relaxes, the hand would fall down, wouldn't it?

Tension is there all throughout our body. It manifests in diseases. They often say that diseases are tension-caused phenomenon. Headache is a disease. Nasal blockage, difficulty in breathing, asthma, bronchitis, throat problems, many of the back problems and all the skin problems are accepted as a result of tension and psychosomatic conditions. Our whole body is full of tension and we just can’t get out of it. We are holding on; can’t let go. The sense of “I” is very high. ‘I’ believe in things; ‘I’ insist; ‘I’ hold on. This is an overall problem not only with the body but with the external world also. There are people who get disturbed by some events occurring far away.
