Serenity Meditation - Beginners classes



Hi Yoga blog fans

I thought I would share this with you today.. wouldn't it be awesome if there were more peace and serenity in this world :)

Through out the centuries, the fountain of youth has been the 'Quest' for many, so too self realisation, wisdom, peace, truth, serenity.

In this particular AGE the practice of Mantra Yoga meditation is far more effective than other spiritual paths, like meditation on the white light or Brahman effulgence OR trying to control the life air and raise the kundalini to the top of the head as in raja yoga. Very few can perfect this process. Therefore the most effective means of focusing our attention is to concentrate on the sound vibration of a mantra.

Although a vast science, the practice for peace, serenity, true inner happiness lies in a beautifully simple process. If you would like to investigate further check out our Timetables and come along to class. All teachers are certified and hold diplomas in Yoga Meditation classes, so you will be in very capable caring hands.

Here are those links. Have a lovely relaxing day, come see us soon.

Namaste

How to become more compassionate - Meditation

Hi Yoga fans

Compassion is a much valued human quality. Have a read below and see for yourself how being compassionate can benefit health. Beneath this post click on the link to our Timetables. You will find classes that you can attend, all of which will help you become a more caring and compassionate person through yoga meditation. Meditation classes are FREE ..!

Scientific research into the measurable benefits of compassion is young. Preliminary findings suggest, however, that being compassionate can improve health, well-being, and relationships. 
Compassion makes us feel good: Compassionate action (e.g., giving to charity) activates pleasure circuts in the brain. Producing feelings of happiness.

    Being compassionate—tuning in to other people in a kind and loving manner—can reduce risk of heart disease by boosting the positive effects of the Vagus Nerve, which helps to slow our heart rate.

    Brain scans during meditation, which directs compassion toward suffering, suggest that, on average, compassionate people’s minds wander less about what has gone wrong in their lives, or might go wrong in the future; as a result, they’re happier.

    Compassion helps make caring parents: Brain scans show that when people experience compassion, their brains activate in neural systems known to support parental nurturance and other caregiving behaviors.

    Compassion helps make better spouses: Compassionate people are more optimistic and supportive when communicating with others.

    Compassion helps make better friends. Feeling compassion for one person makes us less vindictive toward others.

    Restraining feelings of compassion chips away at our commitment to moral principles.

    Employees who receive more compassion in their workplace see themselves, their co-workers, and their organization in a more positive light, report feeling more positive and are more committed to their jobs.

    More compassionate societies—those that take care of their most vulnerable members, assist other nations in need, and have children who perform more acts of kindness—are the happier ones.

    Compassionate people are more socially adept, making them less vulnerable to loneliness; loneliness has been shown to cause stress and harm the immune system.

    Tongue in cheek - Yoga for young and mature yogis and yoginis

    Hi Yogis & Yoginis

    Time to 'Get on your mat' shake off those extra holiday kilo's and get into shape.

    As you well know,Yoga has become all the rage, just check the junk mail and you just might find an endless array of fliers from the numerous Yoga Studio's sprouting up willy nilly in your local area. 

    You can find entire clothing lines especially for yoginis  and for some yoga devotees, an entire lifestyle. 

    What's the magic behind this discipline of poses and controlled breathing? Is yoga truly a beneficial form of exercise?
    Yoga can, in fact, be good for adults of all ages, especially seniors. Studies have shown that yoga can be extremely helpful when it comes to combating stress, fatigue and pain. Some yoga poses increase core strength and balance, which reduces the risk of fall-related injuries for seniors. Other poses can alleviate health issues such as menopause. Above all, yoga is a form of exercise that can help seniors feel younger.
    Even though you may never be able to bend yourself into a pretzel, learning some simple yoga poses can improve your overall quality of life. If you're just starting out, look for a beginning class taught by a certified yoga instructor. Good instructors will help you with correct body positioning and encourage you to learn your body's limits. You may not able to perform all the poses or hold them for very long, but good teachers understand that and encourage you to do your best. 
    I will include some links for you to click through to a couple of Yoga studios we highly recommend. They have wonderful yoga instructors, highly trained in the hatha style of yoga. Pop along and see them, you will be in safe hands.
    Namaste

    Yoga Meditation Studio Palm Beach 4221 - Kindness - Yoga Classes Txt: 0404076108


    Kindness


    Sages and saintly people since time immemorial have always taught gentleness and kindness. The most well known person in the West would be Lord Jesus Christ.

    His first commandment was "Love thy God with all thy heart, all thy mind and all thy being"

    His second commandment was "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you"

    We find that in many parts of the world our brothers and sisters are having to deal with quiet severe conditions. We won't go into that here BUT ... I'm sure you know what I mean without having to go into details. It's there right in front of us daily ... courtesy of the newspapers and other forms of media.

    In general, human beings are primarily good with hearts of gold, although our circumstances and environment can unfortunately cause a change to take place making it so that peoples hearts harden and they become very cruel.

    Never the less it is best to follow the example of the saints and sages (past and present) who lead by example, who are God Loving, Compassionate, Kind, Forgiving, Tolerant, Intelligent, Honest, Trustworthy, Responsible, Caring, Loving, Humble & Generous. The friend to all living beings regardless of the type of body they inhabit ie tree, bird, cat, dog, human ... I think that about covers it.. Lol ..!

    They exhibit great character, tirelessly working for the welfare of all souls. They are great examples and role models for humanity, advocating kindness not only to humans, but to ALL sentient beings.

    We could learn a lot from their example.

    The practise of yoga meditation makes it so that we become more thoughtful, more introspective, & caring. If this interests you be sure to contact us. Give us a call or shoot us a txt, find out about a yoga meditation class near you.

    Namaste
    Om Shanti Om
    Peace and Goodwill to All

    Yoga Meditation 4221 - Eating living foods. Sunflower Greens



    One of the best ways to enjoy the nutrition of a sunflower is by eating its sprouts. Sunflower sprouts boast a surprising 25 percent protein. They are also rich in stress-busting vitamin B and hormone-balancing zinc. Their sweet taste and hearty texture make a great addition to any salad.


    Five healthy reasons to eat sunflower sprouts
    1. Boost your fertility with sunflower seeds and sprouts: Both sunflower seeds and their sprouts contain high amounts of zinc. Zinc is a well-researched mineral that is essential for the development of sperm, which is why it is especially important for men.


    2. Sunflower sprouts are high in B vitamins, especially folate: Folate (or folic acid) is a necessary B vitamin for pregnant women, needed to ensure proper development of the baby’s nervous system. The combination of B vitamins also assists in the mother’s circulation as well as aids in stress relief.


    3. Boost your antioxidant capacity with sunflower sprouts: Both sunflower seeds and their sprouts contain high amounts of vitamin E. Vitamin E works synergistically with vitamin C and selenium to reduce blood pressure, increase the elasticity of arteries and prevent heart disease.

    4. The sunflower sprout is a natural expectorant for chest congestion: In Ayurvedic medicine, these sprouts are thought to have the ability to encourage clearance of the lungs. Natural expectorants may also be used as a preventative measure against lower respiratory infections to deter the invasion of pathogens.


    5. Sunflower seed sprouts are a great vegetarian source of protein: Protein is well known for its ability to repair muscle tissue and aid in enzymatic functions in the body. But protein is also important in bone development and the prevention of osteoporosis, as it acts as the fundamental framework for the development of the bone matrix and continues to support bone strength throughout life.


    Sprout to life shake

    Sprouts are a live food, which makes many nutrients more available for digestion and assimilation. Sunflower seed sprouts are rich in B vitamins and essential amino acids — precisely the nutrients your adrenal glands need to work at their optimum. Cleansing your tissues is more important for stress reduction than many people realize. If your cells are struggling to function because they are full of toxins, then you will be less resilient to stress, be it psychological, physical, or environmental.

    Ingredients:

    2 cups (500 mL) filtered water
    1 cup (250 mL) apple cider or juice
    1 cup (250 mL) fresh pineapple, sliced
    1 cup (125 mL) sunflower seed sprouts
    2 tbsp (30 g) hemp or sunflower seeds
    1 tbsp (15 ml) lemon juice

    Directions:

    Add all ingredients to a blender, and mix until desired consistency is reached.
    Makes 4 cups
