Yoga For Relaxation & Stretching
No one, I think, would disagree with me when I say that the pace
of modern life, especially in the big cities, is destructive.
Why, but why is everyone intent on doing something all the time ?
Do they imagine they are missing something if they go to bed with
a book, or sit and think, or just sit? Some people cannot
tolerate being alone. Their own company is inexpressibly boring
and depressing. But why? If only these unfortunates could catch
even a solitary glimpse of the rich inner life of the spirit, and
the awesome power of clear thought.
People who rush about in a frenzy are often not the ones who get
the best results. What about the man who has had the time to
think ? Who has made the time to think ? While others rushed
dizzily past him he has been evolving ideas, building and
planning in his slow but constructive mind. It has been said that
much of the good work of the world has been done by the dull man
who has done his best.
Yoga will not teach you to be dull, rather the contrary it will
teach you to be more magnetic, but it will show you the
importance of knowing when to slow down. The ancient Chinese
believed in the theory of 'masterly inactivity' and this served
to lay down the foundation of a unique civilization. By
'inactivity' I do not mean idleness, laziness or mental inertia.
Yoga is not for the lazy. No, Yoga's inactivity serves as a
breathing space among the bustle of everyday life so that one can
recharge the batteries of one's physical and mental processes to
pursue life with renewed energy and clearer thought.
Yogis realized, centuries ago, that the mind always functions
better in a state of relaxation. Force yourself to work and the
result is a headache, weariness, and a lack of spontaneity. In
those fields of work where creative ability is constantly called
into play this spontaneity is of vital importance. No one wants
to read, hear, or look at something dragged from a fogged and
tired brain.
Yoga's first lesson, then, is how to relax. I do not wish to be
an alarmist but the sheer inability to relax sends many millions
of people to their graves ten, twenty, sometimes forty years
before their time. So let us first consider how you are, here and
now, going to cheat the undertaker of those precious years of
your valuable time.
First of all do not confuse relaxation with inertia. Relaxation
has been defined as 'a conscious transfer of energy from one
department of nature to another after an extreme tension of body
and brain'.
A mere change of occupation is a form of relaxation. This is why
many office workers play football or tennis at weekends, why many
manual workers sit and watch television, why many 'brain' workers
have hobbies that involve working with the hands.
For your first lesson in relaxation let us consider that
mid-morning cup of tea that most people look forward to. What do
you do when it arrives? Stand and gulp it down and maybe throw
another one down your throat after it? Try again. No matter who
you are, a busy housewife and mother, a secretary, a company
director, a cabinet minister, or a ballet dancer, stop when that
cup of tea arrives.
Stop,whatever you are doing, sit down quietly even if all hell is
let loose around you, and enjoy that cup of tea. Drink it slowly.
Try to forget, even if you have only five minutes to do so, all
your immediate cares- the shopping, the laundry, that lost
letter, that copy your editor is screaming for, that order you
forgot to push out. Let it wait. What is the very worst thing
that can happen if you drink a cup of tea in peace and quiet? Why
nothing. And how much better you will feel for it, how much
easier things will seem after your few moments' respite. Relax
periodically and you double your efficiency. If you doubt me then
try it and see.
