The Tool of Health & Wellness
Yoga is a wonderful tool with which we can remove the root cause of all dysfunctionalities of body, mind and life. For example, the root cause of your frequent headaches might be stress.
So, you need to address the issue of stress rather than medicating yourself or applying pain balms. Once the source of the problem is treated the effects vanish. Yoga is about helping you reach the source.
By involving yoga your understanding about body mind and life broadens and you let the Pranic force to spark your life with more energy and enthusiasm.
Yoga is not just asanas. So you can always start Yoga in your life through Pranayama or different breathworks. Even meditations have a greater impact on wellbeing.
Role of Diet & Routine in Keeping you Healthy
In Bhagavad Gita Shri Krishna says Yoga is something that can eradicate pains and problems away from your life if you have an appropriate diet and suitable daily routine.
yuktāhāra-vihārasya yukta-cheṣhṭasya karmasu yukta-svapnāvabodhasya yogo bhavati duḥkha-hā
Mitigation of all sorrows is possible for the one who has a proper diet and routine.
Once you cultivate a habit of chosen diet and routine you emerge as a yoga-sadhak, but we all have our own excuses because of our own likes and dislikes. Once we become slave to our mind, excuses are a pattern.
So let us decode our patterns and discover the source of our headaches. Stress, anxiety or depression are all the source of all health, Relational and professional headaches. Do not delay the process of healing.
