One who is stable and well established in self is healthy. Being healthy does not only entail to physical fitness but what’s even more crucial is mental health and stability. One cannot claim to be healthy only if he is physically fit but lacks the enthusiasm to live life. The absenteeism of degree of enthusiasm from life shows how healthy you are.
Causes of illness are generally noted as infringements to the level of mind, body, and soul. Ill-health does more harm to the mental well-being than it causes to the physical being of an individual. It leads to distress in life which in turn sources discomfort, insomnia and depression — a form of illness as well. Discomfort makes you restless, angry, aversion to the treasures of life.
Body, intellect, and spirit are like three legs of the same stand. If one leg is broken and not functioning properly, it creates an imbalance in life. This imbalance in life leads to ill-health, aversions, distractions that can have disastrous effects on the overall well-being.
Yoga- (a component of Ayurveda) harmonizes the three components of life, the mind, body, and soul into one. The union of the three supports the life-system. It creates an atmosphere of peace, harmony and more where life truly exists.
Yoga is an integral part of our life system. Practice yoga for life and not only for the body. The Ayurvedic system will help in removing the impurities of mind and body. It liberates your soul from all the stress, discomforts of life uniting it with the holy spirits.
Insomnia, irritation can be attached to stress, anxiety, and even depression. Medication is helpful in providing temporary relief only. In order to sense true happiness, positive life energy, those who wish to gain wider and enhanced perception about one’s own body should address the issue through a system of natural healing- yoga.
The traditional science is not just the remedy to cure sickness or grant physical health benefits — yoga is a way of life. Yoga is a physical, emotional, mental discipline of life. A life led by yogic principles free from all impurities, dejections and more — which ultimately result in the awakened soul, inner joy, and high spirits.
