Did you ever think about your past? The mistakes that you made. The people you have hurt. Does any of the things that you have done in the past keep bothering you? What did you do to get them from your brain and not think about the future but only think about the present moment. Did you do any thing? Did you ask your self this question? Do you have the answer?
Well I'm one of those guys who fall into this category. Until Nov 23rd,2009 I didn't have any answers for the question mentioned above. So what is the answer? what did I do? What happened on Nov 23rd, 2009? before getting to the answer let me tell you about my self and my character. I was a shy person. never like to be in public. never had many friends. Never liked to be open with the people I'm with. most important one is that I never trusted any one. so what did I do?
In the month of November I got an email from a friend saying that the Art of Living foundation yoga classes will be starting in the town in which I live from Nov 23rd 2009 and will continue for 3 days. After seeing that email I thought to my self, nothing is going right the way I wanted these days. I lost my job, No peace and all failures in every thing I do. so let's do some thing different. Let's learn yoga. So I made a commitment to learn yoga and taste the fruit of it. The yoga I learn teaches the basic yoga practice( sun salutation and breathing techniques).
The first day of the yoga classes was introduction class were I introduced my self and came to meet many others who are learning yoga for the first time. The class consisted of all kinds of people, business men, doctors, software engineers, teachers, students, house wife's etc. It was nice.
The second day the actual course started with the sun salutation and breathing techniques. It was the most amazing and most important day of my life. I felt the change in me. It gave me confidence that I can change myself and change the life's of people around me.
The third day ended with yoga, fun games and sharing things. this is the interesting part. you have to share every thing about you with two other people in your group of 3. I told every thing about me and my self to both my group members. I couldn't believe that I just trusted them to the most and told them every thing.
I made a promise that I will practice yoga for the next 41 days every day in the morning and I kept my word. I kept practicing yoga from then till now. It's been 1 and half year that I learn t and practiced yoga. I have been practicing it every day. There are day's were I had to skip yoga and I could see the difference between the day I did and did not do yoga.
Now that I practiced yoga. what are the changes that happened in me?
I can see clearly. yes! I mean it. you don't have to be physically blind not to see things the way they are. I mean I can understand people more than before. I made good friends. I was able to forgive people more than before. I stopped judging others. I started to smile. I feel very happy and peaceful every day. I was able to mentally control my self. People started loving me. I couldn't stop doing yoga even for one day. I was afraid that some thing might go wrong if I stopped doing yoga. so be it. That's what driving me to do yoga every day.
Conclusion:
Yoga is for every one. It changed my life, It can change yours.
There is only one thing you have to do. Commitment to doing yoga every day.
