How Can Yoga Calm the Mind and Body?
By Pam Stinson

One such methodology is the application of drishti, targeting the gaze, which helps to quiet the mind. When the gaze is fixed on a single point, the mind is not as likely to be distracted by thoughts offered by visible stimuli, like you're drifting off and thinking.. (the carpet in here is hideous or that guy's tie has a stain on it).

But in today's world, we experience this reply whilst we are sitting in traffic or feeling stressed at work. The more time we spend in reverie, the less open we are to the good things that are taking place now. Usually even if we are in the middle of a fun time, we start to fret about it ending and start plotting to make it occur again.

And whilst having goals in life is a good thing, spending hours daydreaming won't get you any closer to making your dreams occur. There's a connection between our psychological, emotional, and mental states and the pace and depth of our breath. When you relax and slow the speed of the breath, the speed of the mind is in a similar fashion calmed and quieted.

The more time you spend in this place, the much more likely you are to act patiently, understanding, and compassionately. We are able to move on from past grievances and sorrows and can view the world as it actually is, without fake expectancies. Being in the instant enables you to be completely present when you spend time with the people you adore.

Ever try and be friendly when you have got a stomach ache? Asana assists in keeping our muscles, joints, and fascia powerful and flexible. These practices help to attach you to the present moment, to others and to your true self. There are many different types of yoga and participants of all ages, sexes and races are able to find a yoga technique that will work for them.
