Yoga Meditation for Beginners Can't Post

Most people are aware that you must be relaxed to meditate, however the idea of 'working' to become relaxed becomes a turn-off. Meditation is a great pleasure. A vacation for the body-mind-spirit that develops your Inner Self, or Atman.

Increasing Flexibility – yoga therapy has positions that act upon the various joints of the body including those joints that are never really on the ‘radar screen’ let alone exercised.Increasing lubrication of the joints, ligaments and tendons – likewise, the well-researched yoga positions exercise the different tendons and ligaments of the body.Surprisingly it has been found tht the body which may have been quite rigid starts experiencing a remarkable flexibility in even those parts which have not been consciously work upon. Why? It is here that the remarkable research behind yoga positions proves its mettle. Seemingly unrelated “non strenuous” yoga positions act upon certain parts of the body in an interrelated manner. When done together, they work in harmony to create a situation where flexibility is attained relatively easily.
Massaging of ALL Organs of the Body – Yoga is perhaps the only form of activity which massages all the internal glands and organs of the body in a thorough manner, including those – such as the prostate - that hardly get externally stimulated during our entire lifetime. Yoga acts in a wholesome manner on the various body parts. This stimulation and massage of the organs in turn benefits us by keeping away disease and providing a forewarning at the first possible instance of a likely onset of disease or disorder.

Re: Yoga Meditation for Beginners [In reply to] Can't Post

I have been doing yoga for about 5 years and still consider myself very much a beginner. In that time I have done a lot of reading and have sampled many forms of yoga. I have taken yoga classes from instructors and, although I am not currently participating in any instructional program, I feel that this is a very good way to begin.
