Nowadays, more and more people become interested in original and efficient methods able to help them stay in shape, achieve a perfect body or gain emotional balance. Yoga and Pilates represent two of the most appreciated of these techniques, bringing about numerous benefits.
In theory, yoga helps people concentrate their energy on breathing and maintaining posture. The methodical breathing increases oxygen flow to the brain and sets a rhythm within the body and mind. This action coupled with the poses and sometimes meditation is said to dissipate stress and anxiety, therefore, relieving back pain caused by psychological and emotional factors.
Sometimes, those who are a back injured person are mentally depressed, sad, full of stress and anxiety. Yoga can help to focus mind with breathing and doing simple stretches. It will help to eliminate tension, pain, headache anxiety etc. Anybody who is having back pain should contact their physicians before starting yoga. Sometimes wrong practice could worsen the condition.
It is advisable to explain any medical condition to the yoga teacher prior to class, and ask for his or her assistance in modifying yoga poses that are too difficult or painful at first. Many yoga teachers will also set up private lessons for beginners to allow them to learn modifications and receive more personalized instruction, after which it may be easier to transition to a group yoga class.
Buddhist meditation encompasses a variety of meditation techniques that develop mindfulness, concentration, tranquillity and insight. Core meditation techniques are preserved in ancient Buddhist texts and have proliferated and diversified through the millennia of teacher-student transmissions.
Meditation is a means of transforming the mind. Buddhist meditation practices are techniques that encourage and develop concentration, clarity, and emotional positivity. By engaging with a particular meditation practice one learns the patterns and habits of the mind, and the practice offers a means to cultivate new, more positive ways of being. With discipline and patience these calm and focused states of mind can deepen into profoundly tranquil and energised states of mind. Such experiences can have a transformative effect and can lead to a new understanding of life.
