In each pose, feel the harmony between body and breathing. Slow breathing, tight body and loose consciousness. It is in this feeling that I constantly realize. Sometimes every posture is yoga, but yoga is not necessarily a posture. In this contradiction, unity, unity and contradiction, and then find a real balance point, start shaking hands with each other and become relatives.
So what exactly is Vipassana yoga to practice? A mountain style, practiced for 5 years, may not find the true meaning. Not that every muscle has strength, direction and extension, this is the perfect mountain pose. More is to understand the simplicity of the mountain road, which is the real connotation of the mountain road. It seems simple, but it is not easy, so the mountain style is a lifelong practice.
For example, the eating, drinking and sleeping we live in are actually mountain breeze. No matter how life changes and encounters, if you can have a firm belief, there will be no problem in life, only persistence and firmness. No matter what happens in life, you will accept it, cook all kinds of delicious food in different ways, eat well, sleep well, face life with a positive and serious attitude, and let go but don't give up to experience it seriously. This is the perfect combination of life and yoga, and the mountain wind on the mat is integrated with the mountain wind in life.
I spent nearly three years practicing handstand, the real purpose is to hope that one day I can fall on it freely. I think that's the result. What I understand is that this result can give me a high yoga experience and a sense of experience as a maverick yogi. So, in this process, I experienced countless injuries, then recovered, and then got hurt again. For this reason, my wrist was injured for 8 months, which has been unable to heal, and my knuckles were injured and I fell countless times. Fortunately, I didn't flinch in the face of pain, but practiced as always, asking myself why I was injured while healing.
When I found that my strength was not enough, I put myself into the practice of strength and found that my sense of balance was not good. I try to find my center and feel my unique balance. I don't compete with handstands, let go of the entanglement and start from the beginning. Not only use the body to sum up, but also use your own mentality to communicate and feel beautiful. When I stood on my head for the first time and could hold 20 breaths, the excitement was beyond words. Therefore, all kinds of ease, freedom and self-confidence of handstands today stem from not working hard in the results, but looking for answers in yourself.
I'm beginning to think that when something happens, it's not that others are not good enough, but that we should ask ourselves more, where is the problem and why. When I look at the problem like this, I find that the entanglement is gone, the direction is clear, and the self-blame disappears. My understanding of handstand is that the problem is always on myself and has nothing to do with others.
Yoga is life and life is yoga. The perfect combination is because you have learned to admit your failure, and you are willing to try this failure and take this blow as a gift. This may be a state of mind.
At the beginning of Vipassana yoga practice, all are basic exercises. So it is easy to wander in the bottleneck period. The best way to break through the bottleneck period is to keep practicing and then learn to instill more fresh elements, so that you can learn to face and break through. The breakthrough of bottleneck period is the beginning of another new height.
In my practice, the most difficult thing for me to break through is the practice of back bending pose. The back bend pose itself is more difficult to practice than other poses, with higher comprehensive requirements and more sensitive and meticulous connection and consciousness to the body. I, on the other hand, am an overactive yogi in the process of practice. Therefore, the practice of back bending also made me suffer a lot, and various injuries followed.
I have strained my side waist, and my back and shoulders have been injured to varying degrees. I asked myself why my low back pain hasn't improved for three years, and I haven't recovered much. Three years later, I let go of my obsession with the back bend and began to reflect on my body. I began to devote myself to the practice of cobra, which lasted for more than a year (every day). In this pose, I began to feel the movement of every spine, the feeling of physical pain, how to make it more painful and how to make it less painful. Slowly, I began to realize that when I opened my chest, the strength of my body naturally went up, and the burden on my lumbar spine was reduced. The increase of core strength has given excellent protection to the lumbar spine. When I started to understand my spine, I knew where I was going to practice.
The real yoga practice begins with knowing your own body. The purpose is only a carrier, not a support point. Four years later, I began to feel the strength of my lumbar spine. Whether in daily life or yoga practice, I reminded myself at that moment that the bad pain point of lumbar spine has disappeared. On one occasion, a sister-in-law Liang, who recommended fitness, told me that lumbar disc herniation could not be cured and could only be relieved during exercise. I also learned what she said, but my persistence and awareness made me feel accepted and treated gently, so I cured my lumbar spine. Many things, when you no longer reject them, will be integrated with yourself and then become the strength to support yourself.
The rise of back bend requires not only the opening of mind, the acceptance of consciousness and the link of consciousness, but also your own courage and diligence. The real breakthrough is constant practice and innovation, not demanding. Maybe I still don't feel comfortable in the back bend, which is my protection of my body consciousness. It is best not to be overactive.
So what exactly is Vipassana Yoga practiced? My own understanding is to temper a person's patience with himself, his attitude towards life and his cognition of various events around him. Put it down, but don't compromise, pick it up, but don't go too far. No matter when, enthusiasm and truth are your real attitude towards life.
Appreciate the support and cooperation of your body, the light of your inner spiritual wisdom, the guidance of your teacher all the way, and never give up, never spoil, and keep urging.
Polite.
