Yoga for Healthy Mind

When the physical structure is healthy the mind is serene, which, in turn, activates the inner powers. The man becomes steady and concentrated. This boosts our working capacity and success follows our efforts. The tendency to shy away from difficult situations vanishes. Rather, we acquire the power of facing up to them. Thinking becomes positive and constructive and our actions have the right direction. Well-being, success and good fortunes thus acquired will evoke joy and bliss which is the other name for ‘God’. The soul becomes divine. This is what Yoga Is all about. No matter what our field of activity is, by the Constant practice of Yoga we remain in the state of Yoga. All that is needed is to perform all kinds of activities Connected with it with faith and trust and reverence. This is what accomplishment is-the accomplishment of Yoga.

The brain is connected with the spinal cord through the foramen magnum. It is the portion of the vertebrate central nervous system which constitutes the organ of thought and neural coordination like a telephone wire network. The brain includes all the higher nerve centers. It receives stimuli from the sense organs and interprets and correlates them to formulate the major impulses. Through this process we experience, for example, heat, cold etc. Indeed the brain activates the whole body by means of these nerve centers. Yogasanas keep our brain and the whole nervous system active and functional. These activities are carried out only in slow motion. During their performance we stretch and relax our physical structure fully. This frees the nerves from stress and strain and improves their functioning. Pranayama also makes the nerves calm and active, the mind steady and increases self-confidence and is the only approach to self discovery.
