How to use Yoga for Emotional Healing

Everyone experiences every emotion daily, weekly, or at some point in their lives. When we "bottle up" our emotions and push them to the side, they can manifest negatively through our relationships, work life, and more importantly ourselves. It is very important that we attempt to express how we feel, even if those feelings are of anger, stress, and sadness.

Energy flows through our body consistently, 24/7 every single day. If we pent up these feelings, it can cause blocks in our chakras and lead to what we call mental illnesses. By expressing our feelings openly, we can heal our bodies and grow in a lovely, spiritual way.

Yoga allows us to heal emotionally through asanas (poses). When we succumb to the natural energy of our bodies through these asanas, we may experience an emotional release. Sometimes this can look like sobbing, breathing angrily, laughing, etc. This is completely normal as you are releasing pent up energy in your body that can now flow out naturally. It is extremely healing to practice yoga often as you can keep an emotional balance.

Human beings are not perfect, nor are they meant to be. We will experience tons of emotions until the day we leave the physical plane. By practicing different asanas daily or even weekly can make a huge difference in your life. You will start to feel more energetic and get more things done in your day. You may start a new hobby or even going as far as a healthier career change. You would be amazed at how positive your life becomes once you are able to balance emotionally.

Tamasic Energy

Tamas /Upward-Downward Movement        Tamas movement is strong, deep, and internally focused. In yoga, this would be the movement deep within the focus of each postures. It is the up and down currents of extension of the head and connection of the feet. Tamas is the listening in conversation.

Ayurvedic Lifestyle

Living an Ayurvedic lifestyle takes discipline. When I concluded my yoga teacher training, I decided to further explore Ayurveda.  Ayurveda is known as the "science of life". One who eats an Ayurvedic diet and lives an Ayurvedic lifestyle is said to live to their optimal health. I am participating in an Ayurvedic cleanse to honor my body's doshic makeup. By doing an Ayurvedic cleanse, I reduce inflammation and mucus build up in my body.  When the body is out of equilibrium, "dis-ease" manifests. When we completely rid our bodies of inflammation and excess mucus, the body can actually heal itself. I personally believe combining several practices can really enhance a person's well being. Before I list what has worked for me, this is not at all medical advice and always recommend you consult with your physician.  I have done a 360 transformation in a little over 1 year. I began by practicing Bodhi Yoga with an Ayurvedic focus. This yoga opened me up in a new li...

The benefits of practicing Bodhi Flow™ Tiers 1-4

 The intention of practicing these tiers of Bodhi Flow is to follow the philosophy: " if you release the muscles of the core body, bones of the lumbar spine, and free the prana, the rest of the body will experience improved alignment and greater ease. It will benefit within each transition into and out of every posture with in your Asana that follows the warming of vinyasa ." The pace of this vinyasa is slower than a traditional power yoga class. By slowing down the movements and experiencing the full capacity of breath, the body builds more muscle with less repetition and less strain of the joints. Lots of repetition and straining the joints can increase susceptibility to injury. That comes from a more explosive, fast-paced practice; the muscles don't warm up and respond the same way. Practicing the Bodhi Flow ™  helps you develop a multifaceted attention. This attention naturally results in expanded body/mind understanding, awareness, and well-being. It also balances th...
