The Definition of Yoga
“To a mind that is still, the whole Universe surrenders”
Within these simple words, we can find the fundamental purpose of yoga as an ancient spiritual practice that strives to balance the natural turbulence of the mind and the restlessness of the body.
Whether aware or not, every human being needs something more that what the material world can offer. It is in our human nature to seek for things beyond the simple and mundane bodily experience. Otherwise, we feel empty, shallow, melancholic and lost – as if we are not fulfilling our purpose as spiritual beings.
For most of us, it is hard to image a state of complete calmness, especially in these modern times when we don’t have the patience or the strength to wait for inner piece. However, it is of utmost importance to become somewhat spiritually schooled, so that one can learn how to get rid of the negative energy that is accumulated thorough the day.
