What exactly does the word "yoga" mean?

Yoga started in India, but it blossomed in Japan and Korea. I believe its real fruit is in China. Yoga will not only bring a period of sweating effect and popularity like other forms of physical exercise, but also have a long-term physical and mental impact on practitioners.

Yoga is one of the oldest sports in the East. According to legend, yoga practice began to spread in the Himalayas 7000 years ago. Yoga is the product of Indian sages' intuitive understanding of life in the deepest state of meditation. Most people who are not familiar with yoga think that yoga is just a special sport, or even acrobatics. In fact, yoga has a very complete system and profound connotation. It is an extremely complete practice method from body to spirit. It awakens the combination of individual consciousness and universal consciousness and has strong vitality. Two thousand years ago, Indian yogi patanjali wrote a famous Yoga Sutra, which deepened yoga in theory. Make it spread in a wider range.

Yoga brings physical and mental improvement.

A sound spirit resides in a healthy body. An excellent yogi can not only purify his body, but also his mind and spirit by practicing yoga correctly and practically. This is my deepest experience from a beginner to a sincere promoter of yoga.

Yoga not only gives me health and concentration, but also strengthens the balance and coordination of my body, making me more efficient and decisive than before. Yoga gives me a sense of success that I have never experienced before, and I won't be embarrassed about anything.

Yoga made me understand the meaning of step by step. Only by doing the first movement well, keeping a calm mind and keeping the same breathing and posture can I do the second step, or even the third step well. A little progress every day is the essence of practicing yoga, which can make people overcome the mentality of quick success and instant benefit, and thus get the enlightenment that "to achieve the great goal of life, we must start from the first step" Do everything in sections, and don't rush for success. When you encounter difficulties, you can use yoga to solve them in a planned and step-by-step way.

In the initial stage of practicing yoga, when I saw the difficult movements of yoga masters, I was not sure how far I could practice, and I felt a sense of fear. Now I understand that the skills of masters are not built in a day, and anyone with perseverance can reach this level through long-term efforts. Make a millimeter of progress every day, and you will have two or two children in your life, and three children will give birth to everything. After years of exploration, I can finally practice difficult yoga moves and feel confident that I am the best yoga promoter in Shenzhen.

To practice yoga, you must let your body have an adaptive process, talk to your body every day, treat your body as your friend, and treat it well. In the gradual in-depth training, the body will naturally become soft and change its rigid state.

Now I can be free from emotional factors such as nervousness, but I can use yoga to solve my troubles. It has become my creed to do anything with my head held high.

If you do nothing, you will never get anywhere. Try to do a little bit every day. When you look back, you will find that you have accomplished your goal inadvertently. Practicing yoga is actually creating opportunities for yourself.

Yoga practice pays attention to physical strength first, and then requires the unity of body and mind. It can enhance people's endurance, quickly calm their minds, stabilize their emotions, improve their action efficiency, and even achieve enlightenment. Yoga practice can concentrate the scattered spirit and calm it down.

Fitness must first strengthen the heart. Only by purifying inside and outside, indifferent to fame and fortune, and not competing with the world, will there be peace of practice.

The latest medical research proves that this disease can heal itself without external treatment. And yoga can bring this effect. Yoga makes the body and mind happy, not because it satisfies a certain desire, but because practicing yoga will produce a spiritual satisfaction that cannot be expressed in words. Yoga practitioners will be immersed in the cheerful pace of life, their faces will become rosy, their body movements and breathing will gradually become harmonious and powerful, and their backs will become tall and straight. The face will gradually be as soft and kind as Buddha. A listless person will also become energetic.

Practicing yoga can not only bring delicious food and good sleep. You can get inner peace, which is where yoga is superior to any form of simple physical exercise. And learning yoga is not only learning movements, but also mastering the truth. Yoga transcends body gymnastics, it is a philosophy of life. Yoga requires people to live according to the laws of nature, so as to achieve twice the result with half the effort. In the process of practicing yoga, you can feel the inner sense of self-love and joy, and your words, thoughts and actions are in harmony with those around you, so that you can handle things smoothly.

Yoga can be a guiding light for the journey of life. It can guide your thoughts, determine your language, form your living habits, and habits determine your destiny.

Yoga brings change.

Yoga is by no means acrobatics, but a simple and natural body expression.

It is very important to practice yoga in an orderly way. I have always emphasized to beginners who are eager for success that body movements should be gentle and slow, and the speed should not be accelerated at will. Only when the heart moves with you can the autonomic nerves be well stimulated. Exercise must be carried out on an empty stomach, at least once a day, to make body form conditioned reflex.

In addition, the body should be consistent with the rhythm of breathing, and the body and movements complement each other to form a whole to breathe, forming a method of breathing with the body and driving the body with breathing.

After doing all kinds of movements, keep them for a short time, be sure to keep them, and experience the fun of relaxation and improve your skills in practicing various postures.

In the process of practice, we should practice tension and relaxation alternately and truly experience the process of both. Doing all kinds of movements continuously will make the body nervous, so it must be supplemented by relaxation.

In yoga practice, I highly recommend the combination of abdominal breathing and meditation. Its function is to activate the nine abdominal meridians, enrich the innate and acquired qi, enhance local blood circulation and increase organ function.

It is extremely important to practice yoga, meditation and meditation. Correct sitting posture gives people positive strength, which is of great benefit to mental calm and stretching. In order to adjust one's state of mind, yoga first focuses on the body, requiring practitioners to put their originally idle body into a certain form and adjust it according to the prescribed form, so that their distorted body and mind can be adjusted all the year round. The purpose of practicing yoga is to make the body that has formed wrong habits return to the correct and natural body.

Yoga made me realize the mystery of the human body. Yoga can produce mysterious intuition and make you sensitive to physical and mental changes.

General physical exercise needs to consume a lot of energy in the body, while yoga can let more oxygen into the body according to regular breathing. In addition, by twisting, joints are stretched, blood vessels are stretched, and blood is evenly distributed in all parts of the body, so that energy can continuously enter relaxed muscles like water.

Yoga attaches importance to breathing and regards breathing control as the treasure of longevity and enlightenment. The innate energy of the human body will rush upward from the trunk, break through the zenith and communicate with the universe. The spiritual practice of yoga can stimulate this power.

The breathing method advocated by yoga can bring unexpected results. Its combination with meditation is another way to improve the body and mind. Ordinary people are usually confused and self-centered. They have many memories of the past, many longings and worries about the future, and their thoughts are flying, which often create a fertile psychological environment for greed. And bad temper comes from a confused and troubled heart. The best way to restrain spleen is to meditate and improve breathing. Breathing has a deep relationship with mood. People who take a deep breath slowly must be calm. Therefore, we should keep a calm mind and develop the habit of taking deep breaths.

During meditation, when your breathing is stable, you should observe your thoughts. My thoughts are jumping all the time. I don't have a moment's leisure, and even when I sleep, I will think about it, which is not for no reason, but the influence of my childhood and past experiences. In meditation, we should clearly understand our thoughts, but don't let them control us. When we are clear-headed, we will automatically turn violence into peace, and a favorable atmosphere will naturally form around us, so that others can automatically approach, thus reversing the fortune of interpersonal relationships.

Yoga does not rely on reading to concentrate, but uses the book of body qi to welcome practitioners to integrate with it. Modern society is an emergency society, and there is no real time to relax. And through yoga meditation and meditation, you can get inspiration. Yoga is the best way to exercise body and mind. Meditation, not limited to sitting cross-legged, can also operate yoga meditation when walking, so that the body can get a sense of tranquility at any time. In fact, yoga is to get rid of all the distractions that are exhausted from work or receiving too much information. It's like being blinded by unusually bright lights and not seeing the constellations in the night sky, but practicing watching starlight in the dark can activate the function of the optic nerve and see the invisible stars.

Yoga reminds the rhythm of life.

The classic of yoga is to regard the body as your own classic. The body is its own temple.

Busy modern life makes most people insensitive to the rhythm of nature and their own biological rhythm.

Most modern people only know the pursuit of immediate career and entertainment, but turn a deaf ear to the call of their own lives. In fact, the rhythm of the body is an irresistible rhythm of nature. Our life is born and evolved in the rhythm of nature. The rhythm of body temperature, blood pressure and breathing is formed in the laws of nature. We must abide by these laws.

If the biological rhythm in the body is abnormal, the body will have pathological reactions, insomnia, burnout, memory decline and other problems. Our heart and breathing rhythm are controlled by autonomic nerves and have nothing to do with our will. Once out of tune, you will feel abnormal body rhythm. The body moves with the rhythm of life, and biological species play a very important role in daily life. The human body is controlled by the rhythm of Microsoft, and the comfort and pleasure after practicing yoga is to grasp this rhythm. Living according to the rhythm of the human body for a long time can enhance immunity.

Yoga can stimulate the life center of brain stem by practicing posture exercises and breathing methods, and make the life rhythm in it active. The correct practice of yoga can adjust the disordered nerves and restore the original rhythm and balance of life. When our bodies live in harmony with nature, we will react quickly to the changes in the weather, so that we are less likely to catch a cold and get sick.

After practicing yoga to improve concentration and relaxation, all kinds of nerve energy accumulated in the brain due to the usual mental stimulation is easy to dissipate, and when this power dissipates, normal abilities in the brain and muscles are easy to be born, realizing the harmony of the whole body.

What modern people must do is not to return to the barren hills of nature from the exciting human society, but to awaken the inner nature of human beings. This is the most important thing.

Yoga tells us a rhythm. Not only should we be in harmony with the body, but also with nature, and more importantly, with leaders, customers, lovers, colleagues and friends.

Yoga is the highest wisdom of human beings, which enables us to closely combine ourselves with ourselves, ourselves with others, and ourselves with the nature on which we live and live in harmony.

Love yoga

Everything is developing in the best direction, which is the most inspiring part of yoga thought.

With yoga as the support of body and mind, I will not be impulsive in the face of other people's abuse now, and the shortcomings of others will be solved invisibly. Life experience tells me, don't destroy others, hurt others, because attacking others is hurting yourself. Anything you don't like should be gently reminded, otherwise it will only be counterproductive.

Yoga enables people to control their energy. A person is always thinking, and eating too much can't make up for it. I advocate happy yoga, caring yoga, wisdom yoga and healthy yoga. Yoga can help everyone solve basic problems.

Yoga meditation helps us get what we want. Yoga can help the human brain to make healthy, happy, successful and joyful programs, and at the same time play the role of anti-virus software, insisting on eradicating physical and mental bad things. Its powerful washing function can make body and mind full of vitality and let vitality enter every cell. Help us focus on one thing and succeed.

Yoga can reduce sleep, improve memory and cut off depression and stress.

Life should only ask about cultivation, not about harvest, but you will gain more. I never care about my income, because I think God will take care of me, and I can't use money to calculate the return I get from others.

Mother Teresa often said, "We often don't have the opportunity to do great things, but we can do subtle things with great love." Buddhists say, don't do it with little evil, don't do it with little good. If you accumulate good, there will be Qing Yu, and if you accumulate evil, there will be many disasters.

While practicing yoga to improve your body and mind, you should also help others with your heart, otherwise you are just practicing yoga gymnastics. In the process of practicing and teaching yoga by myself, I feel that the idea of loving and helping others can make me practice and persist more. My skills and mind have been sublimated as never before.

I can't teach yoga for commercial purposes. This is my experience in teaching yoga in Shenzhen Overseas Chinese Town Ecological Square for several years. If it is for profit, the progress will be limited and it is easy to back down. Few people who practice yoga with me can really stick to the end. Most people lack love and higher goals, so they will shrink back and give up in the face of adversity. I hope to know more yoga friends.

Beginners of yoga often feel stiff, but if they can't bend down, they will often get hurt. If you persist for a period of time, you will find your body much softer. This principle also applies to life. We can't achieve anything at once, and it's hard to impress others, but as long as we stick to the method of mild steel, we can save the country by curve.

Yoga is a combination.

The word yoga comes from Sanskrit transliteration, meaning combination and connection, which is also the purpose and purpose of yoga.

Any religion and any friend in the world have a certain prejudice against the alien community, but in the eyes of a real yoga master, there will be no enemies and aliens. He is advocating an inclusive combination. When you realize the truth that all rivers run into the sea, your mental outlook will be brand-new.

To practice yoga, we should break the routine and transcend national boundaries. India is the authentic source of yoga, but we should not praise its authority too much. Too much emphasis on authority can easily lead to bondage.

Yoga should be combined, and other cultures and methods should not be excluded. The most intuitive proof-yoga itself is a classic of bionics, and there are many actions that imitate the actions of subliming animals, so people should learn from animals in health.

I have been practicing 15 simple movements at the beginning of yoga practice, and my progress is not fast. As I come from a medical family, I have a better understanding of the essence of traditional medicine in China, such as Huangdi Neijing and Qigong, and have a strong interest in Buddhism, so I came up with the idea of integrating these essences into Indian yoga and making it localized. In practice, combining these essences with Indian yoga poses has produced incredible results, and I feel that my skills have made a great leap.

China's traditional health preserving theory involves channels and collaterals, Qigong, Taiji, Eight Diagrams, morphology, martial arts, daily life, diet, massage, acupuncture and other methods. If learning the best part from it becomes the focus of my long-term research.

Specifically, I also put the idea of infinite Tai Chi, Tai Chi giving birth to two instruments, two instruments giving birth to four phases, and four phases giving birth to divination into yoga practice, which benefited a lot.

In order to make it easier for beginners to master and memorize yoga skills, I have specially formulated yoga skills named after China's traditional four-character idioms. For example, I call Wolong skills "finding pearls in the dragon" and lion beauty skills "glaring at King Kong". In addition, there are a series of complete techniques, such as reaching the sky with two devices, Feng Dan facing the sun, flying shuttle with a jade girl, spreading wings with Dapeng and so on. These serious studies constitute the greatest wealth in my life.

I put the techniques of meridians and acupoints in Huangdi's Neijing into yoga. The concepts of yin and yang, five elements, mutual restraint, five elements, five internal organs and five yin, laughter, song, sound, shouting, crying, red, yellow, white, blue and green in Huangdi Neijing are all integrated into yoga. Comprehensive China Yoga has been greatly improved by adding acupoint therapy.

Yoga combined with acupoint therapy has a very good effect. Because the existence of life depends on meridians, so does the occurrence and treatment of diseases. The traditional fitness and health care methods in China are all produced by stimulating and exercising the meridian system of the human body. Many diseases are caused by uncontrollable meridians. Only when the meridians play a normal control role can diseases be cured.

There are many examples of long-term acupoint massage achieving miraculous effects. Li Cangshan, a 100-year-old Chinese medicine practitioner, massages Shangyang, Hegu, Legqog, Neiguan and Waiguan three times a day and teaches them to patients. He said: "As long as you insist on massaging these five acupoints, you will stay away from minor illnesses such as colds, and massaging these acupoints can also play a role in treating your own diseases. Therefore, we can't ignore the invisible acupoints, let alone the existence of high meridians, because if we don't pay attention to meridians, we will get sick. Attaching importance to meridians can make you healthy and treat yourself. Attaching importance to meridians is a lifelong event.

In fact, life is full of meridian exercises everywhere, and meridians play a role in human health all the time. In the morning, I began to exercise the meridians unconsciously in the process of combing my hair and washing my face. Because the three Yang meridians of hands and feet should follow the head, and the main meridians such as Du Meridian, Bladder Meridian and Gallbladder Meridian are densely distributed on the top of the head and pillow. Morning grooming has stimulated these meridians with quite strong acupuncture-like stimulation. Su Dongpo once said, "I combed my hair more than a hundred times and slept until dawn." He combs his hair 200 to 300 times a day from morning till night to refresh himself, have a good sleep and prolong his life.

I believe that meridians are the health care system of human body. I integrate Zusanli, Neiguan, Sanyinjiao, Yongquan, Shenshu and Hegu into yoga practice. When massaging these acupoints, it is necessary to achieve the feeling of numbness and numbness. Hegu point is an important point of hand Yangming large intestine meridian, which is located between the first and second metacarpal bones, the midpoint of the second metacarpal bone, and the edge of the flexor side. You can also use the first joint of the thumb of the other hand to face the edge of the tiger's mouth, press the thumb flexion, and point the fingertip at Hegu point. This level of regular massage can keep teeth healthy and reduce the incidence of oral diseases. In addition, all diseases above the head, such as headache, fever, dry mouth, nosebleeds, neck swelling and other facial diseases, have been cured. Therefore, the ancients said that "face and mouth are close to food".

The acupressure at Neiguan point, located at the third transverse finger of the wrist, can expel turbid qi, evil spirits and troubles from the body by massaging clockwise and counterclockwise 18 times, supplemented by breathing and laughing with the mouth. It has the same effect on heart and lung diseases. Especially for patients with arrhythmia and tachycardia.

Massage Zusanli, located 3 inches below the nose point of the lower lateral leg of the knee patella and at the front finger of the tibia, can treat stomach and spleen diseases. Chinese medicine believes that the spleen and stomach are the foundation of the day after tomorrow. After birth, the maintenance of growth and health is closely related to the function of the spleen and stomach. Stimulating this meridian can affect the function of internal organs of the whole body, thus achieving the effect of health care and longevity.

Rubbing Yongquan point is also very important. This acupoint is located in the fovea of the left toe 1/3 of the sole of the foot. Rubbing this acupoint can eliminate fatigue, nourish the liver and improve eyesight.

In addition, in yoga practice, I also advocate a series of head massage methods, such as "dry face washing, scalding eyes and slapping the head". For example, rubbing hands and massaging the face can make the skin shiny and ruddy, and make the facial nerve endings, capillaries and lymphatic circulation smoother.

In yoga, I also joined the swing movement. Clap your hands with dozens of practitioners every day, and practice the company in a sunny sky and in a lush environment. We will all have an inner pleasure.

Popularizing acupoint massage in yoga practice has become an important part of yoga in China. Let the body consciously exercise the meridians, which will be helpful to our health all our lives.

Yoga brings vitality.

Through yoga practice, I believe that the progress of modern medicine can not promote real vitality and immunity, because it is an innate strength and ability. Only by finding the right way to benefit the body and mind will there be long-term vitality. How can we awaken the natural forces of human beings? That is to awaken the power of human life inherited from the past, return to the origin of life, and tap the energy of life. Yoga is such an excavation method.

To practice yoga, you should have a regular diet, and sometimes you will choose the right time to stop eating for one day. Let the dirty things out of the body and make the body empty. The body doesn't need to eat all day. As early as ancient times, there was such a record in Guanzi. Daily diet, suitable for cold and summer, is good for health and longevity. People who restrict the right to use food are generally light in weight and happy in spirit.

In addition, except that the body needs to be emptied frequently. Thought also needs to be like this, breaking off relations with bad friends and bad environment is of great benefit to body and mind. People should learn to be good at throwing things, willing and willing. If everything stays and the body and mind obey the laws of nature, people will not get sick.

Yoga is mainly vegetarian as far as possible. If you can't do it for a while, try to eat less meat. Fresh vegetables actually play a very important role in the body. Vegetarian food can make you less likely to lose your temper and help you deal with interpersonal relationships. In addition, vegetarianism will make people have no bad breath and their bodies will become fragrant. Practicing yoga will make your body more harmonious.

Yoga also has some charming proverbs and vocal methods, which are simple but magical. All the people who have practiced yoga with me have experienced the charm of Mancha. While breathing, recite Mancha, Mancha circulates in your body and goes deep into every cell. The place where Mancha is recited is also full of Mancha. Yoga is praising proverbs with the body.

The true meaning of yoga

Yoga brings introspection. It is very important to learn to introspect in an environment where you only take and don't give. It will teach us how to deal with the relationship with our surroundings.

As early as BC, India mentioned in the yoga classic "Ask the Man" that "the creator opened human eyes and ears to the outside world, so human beings only looked outside and didn't want to look inside. Only smart people will look at their own hearts. "

In the process of yoga practice, I also realized the significance of Kruma's silence. He once compared the inner strength of yoga to sacred discipline. The power to give the seeker attention. Let them understand the purpose of the senses, uncover the brilliance hidden in the body, and let it go deep into their hearts. Yoga guides him to combine with heaven and earth, and yoga gives the seeker the power to enhance energy and mature.

Patience is cultivated by penance, which is the pillar of yoga. Endure everything that happens, never collapse, and never let yourself have any chance of collapse. Because once it collapses, it will form a habit and collapse again and again. Patience is a valuable virtue, which can make internal practitioners strong and help them overcome all kinds of obstacles on their way to practice. At the same time, actions that are not obsessed with the results of actions will achieve nothing.

Yoga can help people get what they want. It believes that if a person can picture complete success in his mind, he can intuitively advance towards success.

Yoga can achieve three states, one is to achieve full body activity, relaxation and physical and mental consistency. In addition, yoga can also strive to open up the future of life and realize valuable big wishes. I am confident to realize this great wish.

I want to say to any friend who wants to be healthy and happy: "If you want to be strong, you should practice yoga." . If you want to be beautiful, you should practice yoga. If you want to be smart, you should practice yoga. I am waiting for more friends who practice yoga like me.
