What Can Yoga do for Your Body | How to Achieve Holistic Health with Yoga | On occasion of International Yoga Day 2018 – Swami Mukundananda
This body needs to be maintained. In order to maintain, you must use all the organs, tissues on a regular basis. If you wish to keep old age at bay, the simple formula is: use it or lose it.
The one principle in Yoga is that you wish to keep all the body organs and ligaments active and thereby healthy.
The second principle is that it provides for muscle strengthening. The muscles are strong, the joints remain in place. For example, 80% of back-ache have their cause in the weakening of muscles.
The third principle is that Yoga tones up the organs. One theory is to take chemicals to tone organs. The ancient yogis in Himalayas did not have these chemicals and instead used Yoga for tone the organs.
The mental issues also have to be addressed. How to address the mental issues? By purifying the mind. The technique is meditation. The hatha yoga scriptures – say that physical yoga postures are beneficial but breathing exercises are 20 times more useful. And then meditation is 20 times more useful than breathing exercises.
Why does the mind become dirty in the first place?
How do you ensure the mind remains clean and not become dirty again?
We determine our values based on where we have decided happiness lies.So, the decision needs to be made – where is happiness
And this requires the understanding – WHO AM I?
Once again, all the religious traditions around the world, inform us – we are NOT the body
This body is perishable and always changing.
Medical science tells us .. Within 1 year, 98% of your molecules have changed; and yet you are the same person. The same person who celebrated the birthday last year and the year before that. What is the unchanging in you. It is the soul. That is the basis of consciousness.
