If you're going through a hard time, whether it's from trauma, grief, or illness, give yourself the gift of yoga
We all go through challenging times in life. There are times when life seems harder due to trauma, injury, grief, dealing with an illness, or even coping with unexpected situations - such as having to deal with the seemingly unending covid-19 sheltering-in-place. While yoga's mainstays of love, gratitude, & peacefulness are helpful, there are times in life when a different approach is needed.
Similar to our lives, one of the amazing things about yoga is that it can be fluid and changeable. On a given day, you may feel drawn to an energized Vinyasa session. The next day, you may feel you really need more of a peaceful Yin session. Being aware of your internal signals. Being able to adapt to them on a given day can help keep you feeling healthy and peaceful. It's wonderful that your yoga practice can adapt to your current situation.
Occasionally, your situation may feel painful, too hard, and outright unbearable. Loss and grief certainly negatively affect us emotionally and mentally. Yet, they can also impact us physically, as well. Experts tell us that the pain resides in your tissues - and when left untended, it can result in energy blocks, as well as trapped negative energy. Simply by including yoga - and purposeful mindfulness in our daily lives, we are able to help ourselves work through the current situation including ongoing illness, recent trauma, and the loss of a loved one.
Yoga can be used as a vehicle to help you empower yourself to tap into your inner strength and resiliency. It can help you move forward in life, regardless of your seemingly insurmountable challenges. Yoga can help us be reminded that just about everything is temporary in nature. Being willing to accept the notion of things being temporary can help us better adapt to trauma, illness, and grief.
A directed approach to healing via yoga can help us recover more quickly.
