Need of Yoga and Meditation for a Balanced Lifestyle

Yoga and Meditation

Abstract

Mental problems are on the rise, and for traditional allopathic treatments to treat diseases, it is always not enough. Population-level mental health promotion strategies are increasingly called for. One popular form of complementary and alternative therapy is the ancient Indian practice of yoga, which uses a combination of body postures, breathing exercises, as well as meditative methods to address mental and physical health. It has been well documented that yoga can reduce stress, anxiety, and depression, as well as improve the quality of life. Studies have shown that daily practice has a positive effect on mental health, mood and emotional balance.

And remember, Yoga is a complete health system, not just an exercise regimen. Practised to a high standard, it helps men bond their mind with body and balance and harmony are the results. The term "yoga" itself is derived from the Sanskrit root "yuj," which translates to unite or join, indicating a harmonious union between the self and the universe. The goal of yoga Is self-realisation and freedom from suffering, bringing us in a state of mental, emotional liberation. Yoga Introduction Originating in ancient India, Yoga has a history of thousands of years and is still the most effective way to address physical, mental and spiritual health issues caused by living in today’s busy world with overwork.
