Why do we do Yoga? What exactly Yoga is apart from the nice physical poses? Yet there is a complete life wisdom dated back to as far as 5000BC in the Indian ancient text of Upanishad.
The word “Yoga” comes from the Sankrit “Yuj”, it means joining, union! In the ancient text context, it refers to the union of individual self with the universal self (yujyate anena iti yogah). Yoga is “the way” to join! In the context of Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras, “yuj” refers to samadhi, Concentration!
Yoga Citta Vrtti Nirodhah (Yoga Sutra: 1.2)
Patajanli pointed out an key essence of Yoga is that Yoga is the cessation of mind. The nature of mind is always thinking, jumping, away, and Yoga is a concentration skill that to help us to control, to calm the mind. Given this ancient scripture background, Yoga is a systematic process for individual growth to cultivate the mind to attain a higher level of consciousness.
Consciousness is to show the level of understanding of things, situations, if we bring awareness to what we are consciously doing, i.e. concentration, our mind follows! Through Yoga Asana postures practice, to connect the physical body with your breathe, use the breathe as a concentration tool, then the mind follows! When the mind focuses on the inhalation and exhalation, it stops jumping. We are in a state of calmness and harmony with the body and mind in the present moment, move away from the hustle bustle of life matters. At this moment, we are easily to attain a higher level of consciousness, feeling great with the body in a state of comfortness and happiness. That’s wellbeing!
