OK, everyone talks about mind body and spirit yoga and the importance of the whole being.
What does all this really mean? Mind Body Spirit becomes a buzz word for self development. Yoga becomes the trend of today for exercise and then someone strings them all together and hey presto you have a new belief system.
Well, it does not have to be as cynical as that. Far from it.
To understand the whole being - becoming wholistic in one's outlook, it is important to get to grips with the constituent parts.
Mind Body and Spirit Yoga
Mind - well there is a biggey to start with. What is the Mind? Now if you can answer that you will be far along the road to enlightenment.
What is staggering is that no-one can really get to grips with or understand what the Mind is .Why is that?
We humans are visual creatures. We have images for everything that we describe. When it comes to the mind, usually that image is the brain - and that is the problem. If you cannot visualise it, you cannot work with it.
Would you like to know what the mind looks like? When you have a picture of the Mind you then have the tools to alter and use its infinite power for your own growth and advancement. Read more here
The great master of the Mind, Thomas Troward describes what the mind is: "My mind is a centre of Divine operation. The Divine operation is always for expansion and fuller expression, and this means the production of something beyond what has gone before.."more...
So this gives a clue as to the relationship of mind body and spirit yoga to each other. Expansion can only happen when change is allowed. When that happens our reality shifts and allows for spirit, our higher being to resonate and communicate with our body through mind, thoughts and feelings within the emotional body.
Yoga is the vehicle around which these interactions are facilitited. The fusion of mind body and spirit yoga brings about is that of the transformation of the being, through training the body to become aligned and free. Through the quietening and stilling the mind so it can be the useful conduit of our higher knowing - spirit, that then opens us through awareness to the true nature of what and who we are.
Mind body and spirit yoga has a deal more potency than just a new age catch phrase, when seen in this light.
So the key is change - allowing it - embracing it and knowing that without it we are dead.
Michael Basch once said: "People do not resist change, when it is their choice. People resist being changed."
