As mentioned in the manual, in the neuroscience of yoga section, meditation can specifically change brain matter for improved overall physical and mental health & wellbeing. There are different forms of meditation, which effect the brain and body differently. This section has guided meditations for specific purposes.
Although many postures can be used to help with anxiety and stress (the entire practice of yoga can) below are a variety of sequences that can be practiced for effective relief from anxious thoughts. As always, choose what works best for you in this moment, listen to your body and let go of any expectations throughout your practice.
In the ancient yogic teachings, the practice of directing the breath is called Pranayama, and it teaches you to breathe consciously, with awareness, and with intent. Within the teachings, there exists many different exercises that can help you tap into your breath as a means of building self-awareness and focus during meditation or yoga.
Benefits of breath work & breathing components:
Breathing is a vital part of life; it helps deliver oxygen into your bloodstream and remove carbon dioxide. Completing a full breath cycle involves your whole body your chest, belly, back, and mind. It takes effort to coordinate all elements of the breath, even though the simple process seems effortless.
The physical benefits of deep breathing are often immediate. By breathing deeply, you can activate your parasympathetic nervous system, and in turn, slow down your heart rate and lower your blood pressure—creating a feeling of calm. You also rely on your diaphragm instead of your chest, inviting your neck and chest muscles to relax and engage your abs and a larger amount of oxygen to reach your body’s cells and organs.
During stressful moments, conscious breathing allows you to shift and release negative energy instead of storing it in your body and tune into the present moment.
Deep, yogic breathing helps balance the autonomic nervous system, which regulates involuntary bodily functions, such as temperature control and bladder function. This has shown to help ease symptoms of stress-related disorders and mental health conditions such as anxiety, general stress, depression and post-traumatic stress disorder.
