Healing yoga is a meditation in motion.
Stilling the mind and entering that sacred space of connection with the higher self is essential for healing. It is this coming into awareness that allows you to come into balance. You cannot change or heal that which you are not aware of.
Becoming aware of your body is firstly, being mindful of and respecting its current limitations. It is staying present with the body as a whole – mindfulness of balance, alignment of the spine and breath, constantly in the background of your awareness.
As you quiet the mind and become the observer of your Self, you let go of competition, of having to be somewhere in your pose or your practice. You let go of control. You move from thinking to being.
Moving into the different asanas becomes a flow of awareness, allowing movement to happen with the rise and fall of your breath. Letting your higher self be the guide, feeling where it is that the body wants attention. Each inhalation an opportunity to fill yourself with Prana as you expand it into areas of constriction. Each exhalation a moment of release, of surrender into the pose.
This meditative flow allows you to be completely present in both the dynamic and static phases of the poses, micro moving with breath, observing details of sensations, staying in the moment and feeling fully. Enjoying the effortless flow of energy and movement.
And in that ocean of silence you see yourself becoming balanced, healthy and whole.
Meditation in motion is a powerful and life changing practice that restores peace and balance to the whole self. As with anything, the more you practice, the greater the results. You have the power to change your life.
