Yoga For Your Health
YOGA at last is coming into its own
after many years of being dismissed as a bizarre cult attractive only to
eccentrics. Yoga is now recognized as a fundamental art and skill.
More than that, many of its most bitter opponents, people who were
among the first to cry down Yogic culture, have now embraced it as a way
of life.
The ancients who formulated the science of Yoga were way ahead of us in our modern world of stress and hurry.
Recognizing, thousands of years ago, man’s basic need for discipline to
counteract the physical and spiritual deterioration caused by the mere
fight for survival, they evolved a science which is at once
as ancient as India herself and as modern as the space age.
The
law of Yoga is the law of Life. Yoga embodies the secrets of successful
living and combines profound and age-old truths with a way of life
acceptable to the modern mind.
But Yoga is not a religion, nor is it a mystic cult.
It is a Hindu system of philosophic meditation and asceticism designed to effect the reunion of the devotee’s soul with God.
It is a philosophy which integrates the individual life and the world
surrounding us to achieve a basic harmony and equilibrium in the heart
and mind of man.
This book is primarily concerned with this Yoga of the physical body known as Hatha Yoga.
While the body and the mind cannot be separated and the health of one
affects the health of the other, I have laid stress on the day to day
problems and ailments of the average person who wishes
to improve his general health.
Not everyone has the mystic vocation to achieve union with God, the
Universal Spirit, which is the primary aim of all Yoga, but everyone
would like to know how to improve his health.
Many
Westerners, moving as they do in a world of hurry and stress, feel that
Yoga holds nothing for them and that the whole philosophy is rather
remote, vague, and impractical.
In this book my aim is to show readers how the ancient system of Yoga
provides an effective answer to the many problems of our modern life.
You
can take an active part in the hurly burly of everyday living and Yoga
will act as a protection from the numerous stresses of your
environment.
While best results are obtained by exercising and
practicing breathing and relaxation alone, nevertheless
you need not become a hermit to achieve success and improved health
through Yoga.
