Master Patanjali’s interpretation of Asana in the Yoga Sutra is “stable and comfortable posture”.
No matter what stage you practice yoga posture, when you have doubts, you must return to this sentence: yoga posture is a stable and comfortable posture.
When practicing yoga postures, you should get rid of your obsession.
When you are a beginner of yoga, you will immediately envy and practice when you see the old yoga birds brushing their heads in unison.
Headstand is a step by step, and everyone’s physical condition is different, and the time required is also different.
It is also related to mentality.
The more anxious you are, the more you can’t do it, and the easier you are to get hurt.
A practicing friend said that at that time, headstand made me love and hate! Love is “it is a posture that everyone admires”.
If I can do headstand, I can get people’s respect and worship; The hate is that the muscles don’t listen to the command.
I let the muscles in the back of the abdomen function.
They just ignore my command.
They are weak and don’t cooperate at all! So when I do headstand, I complain that my abdominal and back muscles are weak and I can’t complete this pose; When I do the standing wheel, I complain about my thigh, because my thigh muscles are weak, I can go down, but I can’t go up; When I practice Scorpio, I complain that my arms and shoulders are not strong enough; When I do torsion, I complain that there is too much fat on my waist, which hinders my torsion…
I complain about my body because it can’t help me do the posture I want to do and achieve my ideal, which is against my will! All the emotions about our body really show the emotional state of us and others.
When I like to practice a certain posture, what I like is not the posture itself, but the sense of achievement and identity that can be brought by doing this posture! When I don’t like to practice a certain posture, it actually shows that I don’t accept and disagree with myself.
Through the awareness of emotion during practice, you can clearly see the relationship between me and others.
When the inner strength is not strong enough, the more insecure the sense of security is, the stronger the perseverance will be when practicing.
Practicing yoga seems to make your body strong, but it actually makes your heart strong.
What if the mind is strong enough and the posture can’t be done? This pose has been achieved.
Maybe there are thousands of individual poses that you can’t do.
If you can’t do it, you are persistent.
It’s better to focus on the process of practice.
Practicing yoga seems to be exercising the body, but it is actually cultivating the mind..
