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.

One of my favorite things I've recently cherished

       I used to believe if someone did a "pretty" pose and it was super advanced, then I would be fit and healthy. Wrong. Yoga is so much more than just being able to look instagram worthy and attaining a flat stomach.         Yoga is a process of confronting your own limitations being able to challenge and overcome them. I have never had upper body strength, core strength, or even great balance. I practiced and practiced Vrksasana (tree pose) until I got it right. I learned how to allow myself to trust myself. This was HUGE for me. By learning this, I can stand anywhere, away from a wall and balance because I learned to allow. Also, I perfected my ardha chandrasana (half moon) asana on my right side. I am still practicing it on my left side because I'm not as strong on my left. I don't have to use any assistance because I practiced so much. I learned from that asana that certain things take time. Focus in the moment and be present. That...

Happy Diwali!

Happy Diwali πŸͺ”πŸŽ†πŸŽ‡πŸŒŸπŸ’«βœ¨πŸ™ β€œThis beautiful festival is celebrated mostly by Hindus for 5 days. It symbolizes the spiritual victory of light over darkness, good over evil, and knowledge over ignorance.” I felt this in my SOUL. πŸ™πŸ’›πŸŒŸπŸͺ” I have an inner connection with Hinduism and love celebrating the light winning over the dark. As most of you know, I am a lightworker and am constantly battling dark beings almost every night. WE are winning. The light is winning and ALWAYS wins.

Sattvic Energy

Sattva /Side to Side Movement        Sattvic movement is light, delicate, clear, and graceful. It is stillness and balanced. In yoga, these postures would be balancing postures or the Sattva of Namaste. It is the centering point of your practice, the point just prior to conversation. Sattva is Divine or Godly nature. It is the pure mind with no judgment nor self-awareness. When you are free of negative thoughts and emotions, Sattva produces enlightenment and self realization. The Sattvic approach views yoga practice as a journey with each yoga postures as a potential for both steady joy as well as challenge.  www.gobodhiyoga.com Gracen Kahn Pernia  Β© 2020 All Rights Reserved.
