Yoga Exercise For a Courageous Spirit

October 15th, 2009 6:35 pm

If you so desire and intend, community, prosperity and the ability to face the future can be yours. If you so desire, intend and act. The action is to engage in a common activity for self mastery, like meditation and specifically one with a chant.

What is an efficient way for you to gain a courageous spirit in order to create community, realize prosperity and be able to face the future at the same time?

How long will this take, and what benefits can you expect along the way? How
relevant is this yoga exercise discipline for these times? 

Why A Chant

When you chant a mantra, it alters the patterns of the mind, and creates that space for a silence that is filled with awareness. The chemical composition of the brain fluid changes as the movement of the tongue touches the palate of
the mouth.

Sound creates a vibration. Our thoughts are silent sounds of  that vibrations. We attract according to the frequency of our vibration. When you chant a mantra, you attract whatever you are vibrating.

How long to Meditate

3 minutes of meditation affects the circulation and your electromagnetic field.

11 minutes of meditation begins to change the nerves and glandular system.

22 minutes of meditation balances the 3 minds, and they begin to work together.

Stage 1 -40 days to change a habit.

Stage 2 -90 days to confirm the habit.

Stage 3 -120 days to own the habit.

Stage 4 -1000 days to master the new habit.

When to Meditate

It makes it easier to schedule this appointment at a regular time. First thing in the morning is the best time right after your yoga exercise. Your yoga exercise could be a mindful walk, movement, or a breathing exercise. If
another time is better for you, of course make it then. Get together with friends and practice in community when you can.

Benefits of 1000-Day Practice

Mantras can transform destructive mental habits and limiting personality tendencies. If you like being alone or the other extreme seek attention and popularity these inclinations will evolve to community right along with your
courageous spirit. Hoarding possessions or poverty consciousness will change to the realization of prosperity.
And your courageous spirit will transform fear of the future or, the other end of the scale, fantasy of the future so you face the future.


Most Yoga students do find themselves living a calmer, more relaxed, and healthier life style

Stress is actually the number one killer of humans on the planet. Stress is a factor and cause of more physical and mental diseases than most of us can imagine. If you have any disease or ailment, stress will make it worse. If you are getting “stressed out,” it may bring on an ailment or disease.
Just look at what stress does to your blood pressure and heart. Cancer patients recover better when they are dealing with less stress. There are many reasons to worry, and none of us is without worry or stress. Too much stress can also cause an abrupt withdrawal from society and result in a possible depression.

Stress overload can cause job burn out, chronic fatigue, and nervous breakdowns. All of these conditions can result in long-term effects that can “sap” a person’s life energy, focus, and motivation.

Unfortunately, stress can also be caused by the ego, too much attachment to outcome, greed, jealousy, and hate. This is mentioned within the Yoga Sutras, by Patanjali, which has remained a timeless guide to human insight. Sometimes, we create our own stress and are our own worst enemies.

So, what’s the solution? Stress management programs are one answer. Have you ever noticed how many stress management techniques look like Yoga? To be honest, if something looks and sounds like Yoga; it’s probably “Yoga in disguise.”

I do not want to take away any credit, but Yoga is a 5,000 year old health maintenance system. You could call Yoga the “mother” of all health maintenance systems. Many of today’s health maintenance systems are “off shoots” of Yoga.

Hatha Yoga teaches you to stretch and strengthen your tense muscles, breathe correctly, relax, meditate and much more. Regular Yoga practice will help you develop your focus and turn stress “on its head.” As a result of Yoga practice, you will easily be able to handle life’s daily stress.

Whether the form of Yoga you practice is holding postures for a while, or flowing from one posture to the next, your body will be relieved of stress. Hatha Yoga sub-styles such as, Restorative Yoga and Iyengar Yoga, hold the Yoga Postures a bit longer than most.

The controlled breathing, practiced while holding a posture, enables the Yoga student to release stress, and walk away from a Yoga class feeling better than he or she did before the start of the class.

On the other hand, Hatha Yoga sub-styles that flow such as, Vinyasa Yoga, Power Yoga, and Ashtanga Yoga, have more movement, but the repetition of movement will also release stress from your body.

So, which is the best style for you? Most Yoga studios and wellness centers realize that students do not all “dance to the same beat.”

These movement-based Yoga classes differ from a gentle Restorative Yoga style. Each Yoga style has its own flavor, but a prospective student should talk to a Yoga teacher prior to the particular class. This is the wisest course of action, when considering your own goals.

Yoga is not a complete cure for stress, but it does cause the opposite effects of stress. Most Yoga students do find themselves living a calmer, more relaxed, and healthier life style as a result of practicing Yoga on and off the mat. This is why so many doctors recommend Yoga to their patients.
