On the occasion of International Yoga Day, I would like to share a\u00a0story of ‘how yoga changed my life’ with\u00a0you . Most of the worthwhile things I\u2019ve done in life have lead to fame. Previously, I was athlete by profession but never focused deeply on emotional and spiritual aspects.\u00a0<\/p>\n

My life circle revolved around\u00a0me and\u00a0slowly I started learning yoga. I thought it was just a physical sport, but slowly I realized that yoga teaches you to lead a better, healthier and\u00a0happier life. As the word ‘yog’ means to unite body mind & soul.<\/p>\n

As I further continued with my practice of yoga, it taught\u00a0me how one can change\u00a0a\u00a0normal life into blissful one. I started feeling changes within myself. \u00a0I saw myself slowly becoming\u00a0humble through which I started perceiving\u00a0life in different manner. I became more humble, polite, focusing within my inner self. Not just the self, but i felt the need to\u00a0help others too, as Patanjali talks about cultivation of the mind in his sutras.\u00a0<\/span>This change gave me such\u00a0an amazing feeling, one where words can\u2019t express how i felt.\u00a0I knew the value of humanity and its purpose, and I\u2019ll serve every human to make this world a better place.<\/span><\/p>\n

These are some changes you might experience when you\u2019ll start practicing yoga in a true manner.
\n\u2981\u00a0Remember why you are doing this<\/strong>
\nEvery person wants to lead a healthy & stress-free life then why not give a try?\u00a0Changes occurs only when you\u2019re willing to change.<\/p>\n

\u2981\u00a0Be present to yourself<\/strong>
\nWe\u2019re always in a hurry or cannot focus but when you get into this headspace, take a moment to stop what you\u2019re doing, find stillness, and simply notice what you\u2019re feeling. Presence and compassion will always serve you better than self-criticism and doubt.<\/p>\n

\u2981\u00a0Focus on learning, rather than perfection<\/strong>
\nFear gets a bad rap, but it\u2019s not necessarily a bad thing. If you\u2019re scared of something, it means that you have an opportunity to challenge yourself, and to grow as a result. It\u2019s a chance to see where you might be blocked and push past your own personal barriers.<\/p>\n

When I\u2019m scared of something, I know that I have to do it. Just take a deep breath and do it. Afterward, I\u2019ll feel a sense of pride and confidence about\u00a0myself. It\u2019s always worth it in the end. You always end-up learning something positive.<\/p>\n

\u2981\u00a0Yes, Yoga makes you positively passive<\/strong>
\nIn further stages of Yoga at a certain point, you\u2019ll don’t harm others or react unnecessarily. You feel blissful where you feel your presence and\u00a0connected to nature this is called \u201cSamah Shatrau cha mitre cha”<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013\u00a0he is the same with reference to an enemy, a\u00a0friend & nature being.\u201d in Bhagvad\u00a0Gita.<\/p>\n

\u2981 Being Free from unecessary attachments<\/strong>
\nAttachments rather than family, one who is\u00a0sanga-vivarjita\u00a0has no emotional dependence upon negative people or things. This extends even to his own body. You may not have other dependencies but everything can be\u00a0focused on the body. Where unnecessary attachments won\u2019t disturb your mental-peace.
\nThese are some small life changing experiences which lead me to a better healthier and happier life and most importantly it made me a wise human being! A happier blissful life is waiting for you ahead.\u00a0Wish you wealth!<\/p>\n
