A workshop on “Mindfulness in the classroom” was organized in our college on 6th September 2016 by Mr. Suresh Sharma. He guided us about the importance of yoga & he also told us how through yoga we can remain fit & healthy.
YOGA
The word “yoga” comes from the Sanskrit root yuj,
which means “to join” or “to yoke”.
Yoga is essentially a spiritual discipline based on an extremely subtle science, which focuses on bringing harmony between mind and body. It is an art and science of healthy living.
MEDITATION
Meditation is a precise technique for resting the mind and attaining a state of consciousness that is totally different from the normal waking state.
In meditation, the mind is clear, relaxed, and inwardly focused. When you meditate, you are fully awake and alert, but your mind is not focused on the external world or on the events taking place around you. Meditation requires an inner state that is still and one-pointed so that the mind becomes silent. When the mind is silent and no longer distracts you, meditation deepens.
OM Mantra
Healing Body, Mind & Spirit and Helping Humanity through OM. Om is considered the monarch of all mantras. All bījamantras and mantras originate from it. It prefixes some mantras. It is representative of the Supreme God Principle.
The effect of continuously chanting Om
The energy associated with Om is of the unmanifest (nirguṇ) God principle. The unmanifest energy of God is the same energy used to create the entire manifest (saguṇ) Universe. As a result, a lot of energy is generated when one chants Om.
Chanting only Om can have adverse effects if the person chanting is of a lower spiritual level as he may not have the capacity to tolerate the spiritual energy generated from the chant.
Yoga Asanas
Under Suresh sir guidance, We did warm up yoga ,by doing some hands,wrist,foot rotationing,streching asanas . Then we did some “Sukshma Yoga” exercises for the face.
We did some “Skandha Chakra Asana”(Shoulder Socket Roatation) for relaxation of head and shoulder muscles.
