We all know yoga in bits and pieces but I was introduced to proper yoga when I was introduced to the group through a friend. It’s now been almost 10 years, am doing yoga and meditation. As most of us think, initially I took that 1 hour session as physical benefit class and the feedback sessions as a source of interaction time with others in the class, slowly I started to realise that it’s much much more than that. Over the period of time, my physical health improved a lot. My body stopped getting tired easily, flexibility increased and I was much happy and healthy person.
When I started these sessions, I had a son who was born through C-section and I was told my second born will be a C-Sec baby as the first surgery was quiet extensive but as I was doing yoga way before conceiving my send child, I continue yoga all through my pregnancy and to everyone’s amaze, my second one was a normal birth. And not to mention, I can see a lot of difference in both my little ones whom I attribute to yoga which I did during my gestational days. Another health benefit which I would like to mention is that I have suffered from hypothyroidism since very long time but gradually my dosage dropped and now am almost on the verge of stopping the medication and all the decrease in the medication is done by my GP.
Now the spiritual benefit side which is far more important that the physical side. I feel I am a much better person when it comes to interaction with the material world. Circumstances do not affect me that deeply and I able to deal with the situations without disturbing my inner peace..
I have learnt my lesson of life that FORGIVE AND FORGET. Share whatever you can, do charity. May it be monetary help, or your time even I have l learnt to donate my smile.
These sessions make us all a better human being, showing us the path that it is more important to being a human than becoming a human being.
