Old Age - Yoga Meditation And Yoga Mantras how these simple practices can help ...!

Old Age

Why does it feel so foreign for us to get old?

Yoga philosophy states that we are not these physical bodies. These bodies are our vehicles, we use the body to get around, to transport us here and there BUT they are not us.

Remember that old saying "Young at heart" or maybe you've heard people say, "I might look old BUT I still feel like I'm 16 years old"

We the soul are eternal, we never get old or for that matter die. There are countless references and quotes in various scriptures through out the world to support this fact.

The practise of Yoga Meditation in conjunction with the use of Yoga mantras help us to remember this. Yoga Mantras purify our consciousness, cutting through the ropes of forgetfulness that bind us to this world - bringing about an internal experience through revelation of the fact that we are NOT this physical body.

Find out more, learn how you can cope better with the inevitable ... growing old ! ... we can't stop it, but we can learn how to grow old gracefully, with knowledge, joy and in the absence of fear.

Join us for Yoga meditation and Yoga Mantras, experience freedom from anxiety and stress. Discover your real identity.

Yoga Meditation and Yoga Mantras

Happiness - wisdom lays the foundation for true happiness

Happy

We all want to be happy. Our own true nature is in fact one of happiness. In the ancient Yoga texts it is written that the soul is happy by nature. To be happy is part of who we are, our instrinsic nature.

Yoga philosophy is not speaking of fleeting happiness, which comes about due to contact with the senses and sense objects, but rather of a much deeper, a much more satisfying infinitely greater happiness which naturally occurrs simply by uncovering the dormant powerful connection between ourselves the individual soul and the Supreme Soul.

This connection is already there, waiting to be reignited through the simple and enjoyable process of yoga meditation.

If you want to experience real joy and happiness be sure to contact us for information on free yoga meditation classes. Yoga mantras are the key.

Karma - What is it?

Karma:

We are born here because we have certain desires. Our gross physical body forms around the desires we bring with us from our previous birth. We use this body as our vehicle in order to be able to fulfill our desires in this world.

Being self centered we go on our merry way living for ourselves. Generally we are not interested in a life of transcendence, for it is a rare person indeed who is drawn to self realisation.

We live mostly for gratifying the senses, being totally unaware that there are certain laws in place which means that every action we perform incurrs a reaction.

As Lord Jesus said in the Bible "As Ye sow, so shall Ye reap" or "For every action there is a reaction" This is the simple law of karma. No one can escape this law I'm afraid. Unfortunately, just because we are unaware of this law does not make us exempt from it's effects.

As the quote says above, Never blame anyone in your Life, we are destined for a certain amount of happiness and a certain amount of bad experiences. We should know that everything we experience in life is due to our past deeds, good or bad.

There is however a positive alternative. A life of Akarma or No Karma.

New life ... Try meditation and Yoga

Knowledge is wealth. The Vedas are an ancient literature made up of 1,000's of volumes of very valuable, sacred, information.

These timeless texts were written down for the first time as recently as 5000 years ago. Previous to being written down this precious knowledge was passed on orally from enlightened teacher to student. Although written down 5000 years ago this knowledge is actually eternal.

Contained within these volumes of works is information soley meant for freeing the conditioned soul from the restraints of this material world. These incredible works are available for anyone who is a sincere seeker of the truth.

For anyone who has ever asked the question: Is there more to life than what I am presently experiencing? Or: Who am I? What happens when I die? All of these questions can be answered fully.

Coming into contact with such incredible knowledge is like opening a door to the future and starting a new chapter in one's life.

3 Stages of Life - Yoga Meditation, grow older gracefully

Life

What is life? Is there a purpose? A goal? How can I make the best use of my life? What happens when I die? Is that the end?

We have all asked these questions. We ask our friends, our parents, teachers. We read books,  looking for the answers.

My parents would always say, "Why do you ask so many questions?" They couldn't help me because they didn't know the answers.

As kids we spend our time doing what kids love to do, have fun. So, most of a childs life is absorbed in play. That's their meditation :))

As young adults we work. Sooner or later we generally get involved in a relationship and start to think about buying a house and starting a family. All of which takes money. This means that we spend a large part of our time at work. We may have some goals as mentioned before, house and family, or maybe plan for retirement BUT that's about it. During this stage of life, although fit and healthy, with money not being too much of a problem, we are usually time poor.

Finally we find ourselves in the sunset stage of life.  The children have left home, we have all the time in the world. If we've been good planners we have money BUT now, NO or limited energy.

We find that life has gone by in a flash and we've spent the majority of time taking care of material responsibilities without paying any attention at all to spirit.

Theres a nice analogy about a bird in a cage which goes something like this.

There is a bird who sits in a beautiful gilded cage, so much attention is paid to polishing the cage that the bird is all but forgotten.

The point is, there needs to be a balance between material and spiritual. Without this balance there can be NO happiness.

We can live in this world, raise our families, hang out with friends without forgetting spirit. An easy way to accomplish this is by engaging in the ancient time tested practise of yoga meditation using yoga mantras.

This is a very simple enjoyable practise which will enliven you and bring you peace and happiness.

Cat Cow Stretch - Yoga Asana

Simple Cat Cow Pose 

• Begin in neutral cat. On your mat - kneel on all fours, knees under hips and hands under shoulders. Nice flat back.  

• Spread the fingers wide with the middle finger pointing towards the short edge of your mat. Be aware of the pads at the base of each finger as they contact the mat. 

• Slowly inhale and look up. Lengthening away from your shoulders, keeping your neck long as you lengthen your shoulders down and away from your ears. 

• Open your chest towards the front, taking the belly button towards your mat. Feel the gluts seperate.

• Exhale, lower the head, chin towards the chest, keeping the back of the neck long as you round your back towards the ceiling.

• Firm your belly and press the gluts together.  

• Repeat for 4 to 6 breaths, moving smoothly between each move.

Benefits

Cat pose alleviates stress, helps stretch the back of your neck and torso and gently massages your belly and abdominal organs. When combined with cow pose, cat pose can help to develop breath control and awareness, which is one of the most important lessons you can learn from a yoga practice.

Contraindications

The cat pose is generally not advised for people who have suffered a recent back or neck injury or have acute or chronic neck or back pain. If you have a stiff upper back, it may be difficult for you to round your upper back.

Love .. True love according to Yoga Philosophy

Love:

Everyone in the whole entire world, or should I say 3 worlds, or all of the universes are interested in LOVE..!  It is a much talked about subject, a hot topic so to speak.

The soul by nature is loving, wants to recieve as well as give love.

The ancient teachings of Yoga Philosophy share this: God is the one we should love.

Unfortunately some people in this world believe that 'they' or each of us is God. I can see how one might mistakenly come to this conclusion. I can also see how most people in this world do not see God as being lovable. This is only due to a poor fund of knowledge.

Yoga Philosophy teaches that God is in fact the most lovable. He is not like the dictator that some see him as, arbitrarily tossing people into the firey pits of eternal damnation.

He is in fact our best friend, always with us through thick and thin. Our ever well-wisher and constant companion.

These are the teaching of Vedic Philosophy.

God is God with a capital G. We the minute living entities on the other hand are god with a small g ... meaning that we are part and parcel of the Supreme, but in minute quantity. Quantitatively we are little iddy biddy tiny parts and parcels of the Supreme whole. We are not God, we are not equal to God and we can never be God.

Holistic Yoga Meditation - Trees Are Our Friends

 

Yoga Meditation Help Save The Trees

5 amazing virtues of trees

  

• The net cooling effect of single, young healthy tree is equivalent to 10 room-sized air conditioners, running for 20 hours a day. 10 air conditioners, a single tree.

•  A tree planted today on the west side of your house will result in a 3% energy savings in the five years time, 12% savings in fifteen years.

• A single stand of trees reduces particulate pollution 9-13%, with the amount of dust reaching the ground beneath those trees 27-42%, versus in an open area.

• If you have trees on your property near your home it accounts for 10-23% of your home value.

• In urban areas, assuming the cost of planting and maintaining a tree for three years at $250-600, it will return $90,000 in direct benefits over its lifetime (apart from beautification, etc.).

Insights - A side benefit of the ancient practice of yoga meditation.

"Insight is a gift

that comes to those

that hunger after

truth." 

- Anon




Yoga 

 texts tell us that the 'self' must take on a gross physical body as a direct consequence of coming to this world. The self is covered not only by the gross physical body but also by a subtle body which is made up of a more subtle type of energy imperceptible to earth eyes.

The self, soul, spiritual spark wanders about the world trying to enjoy, trying to be happy, trying to keep some order in their life but is thwarted at every turn. Why...? Because it is not our natural position to have dominion, or to be in full control. More often than not the illusory energy has firm control over the misguided and forgetful soul.

For many lifetimes the 'self' can exist in a deluded state, looking for happiness, peace, love. After experiencing total frustration and angst such a person may begin to enquire, what am I doing here, what is the point, what should I be doing and how should I be living my life. At this time due to the causeless mercy and grace of the Supreme, a person may recieve the gift of insight and experience many blessings. If such a soul is the most fortunate of all they will come into contact or meet and be able to hear from a true yoga master. 

At this point it is up to the person to use their free will and decide what to do, they may change their life, or they may not. The individual has the freedom to choose. And has this freedom eternally.

The fact is we are already loved but we need to learn how to love (in the truest sense) again. We have been given all the tools we need in the form of a most joyful, simple method that will help us reconnect spiritually. This is a very ancient scientific based practice, recommended by great yoga masters past and present.

If you would like to learn how to practice yoga meditation and experience for yourself the life changing effects that may take place as a result, be sure to leave a comment along with your details and we will get back to you as soon as possible.

Cat Guides Blind Dog

After Terfel, an eight-year-old chocolate Labrador retriever in North Wales, U.K., developed cataracts last year, he began to bump into walls and furniture. 

Soon enough, the once-energetic dog was spending most of his time in his dog bed, unable to find his way around.

On a whim, Terfel’s owner Judy Godfrey-Brown let a stray cat, whom she named Pwditat (pronounced Puddy-tat), into her home. The feline made a beeline for the blind dog and began using its paws and head to herd Terfel into the garden. Now the unlikely friends sleep together, and Pwditat helps Terfel find his way everywhere.

How sweet :)

we serve and please him, too."

Yoga Meditation 4221- Inspirational Quote - Lord Buddha

"Better than a thousand hollow words, is one word that brings peace."

Lord Buddha

Holistic yoga meditation 4221 palm beach created this you tube video, hope you like it.

 

Visuals are always pleasant to watch. A large percentage of the population learn via visual aids as opposed to the written word or hearing. Visual aids are commonly used in public speaking. Showing things to the audience during a speech tends to make the speech more interesting. Studies have found that many people tend to learn through the use of visual aids versus hearing information.I find it's also relaxing watching a visual presentation, especially when accompanied by beautiful photo's and yoga meditation information.

Holistic yoga meditation4221 studio palm beach qld has been experimenting with short videos. Here's one, it was pieced together using a bunch of super short clips. It features a few simple holistic yoga meditation stretches. It's not great but thought I would upload it here so you could have a look.
