YOGA The Life Jacket of Strength & Solace

UNLEASH THE INNATE CAPACITY TO HEAL

As we face one of the biggest challenges of this century and witness the huge death and destruction of human lives around us, it is only natural to feel shattered, helpless and broken with the loss of our near and dear ones. Yet, this is the time to invoke the valour in us and build our endurance and fortitude. Yoga and meditation are the best ways to counter the surge in mental health issues in these grim times. Those who are sad need solace and those who feel weak to handle the situation, need strength. Meditation brings both.

Use the wisdom and power of yoga and meditation as a life jacket to sail through this existential challenge. Spiritual practices bring a sense of connectedness and give one the strength to take responsibility not just for oneself but also for the well-being of others.

Even a few minutes of meditation can provide succour and peace to those who have suffered tremendous loss. It heals emotional trauma and calms an agitated mind. The yogic way of life advocates restoring the natural harmony between the body, the mind and the breath. When harmony is restored, it unleashes one’s innate capacity to heal.

FROM ACCESSORIES TO THE ESSENCE OF LIFE

Problems and challenges can never be permanently taken away from life. What can change is your response to them and meditation and mastering the breath give you the power to do it.
