Practice pranayama and meditation in yoga

When it comes to yoga, whether you practice it or not, you know how to meditate. But there is no telling what meditation is. According to the yoga instructor, meditation is generally a continuous meditation period of 10 minutes to 2 or 3 hours. The first thing to pay attention to is to sit correctly. Newcomers can sit on the edge of a seat cushion about 8 centimeters high and focus their attention 3 feet away, or do not think about anything and only focus on breathing. When meditating, you should learn to breathe through your abdomen. When you inhale, your abdomen expands and when you exhale. It is through meditation to clear out chaos and sort out thoughts, so as to achieve peace between body and mind.

In Sanskrit, Prana means "breath of life" and Yama means "control". Yoga's pranayama is a scientific and therapeutic breathing method. The principle is to inhale regularly. Puraka/Inhalation and Rechak/Exhalation, as well as conscious breathing, allow the internal organs to receive appropriate stimulation and massage, thereby unblocking and awakening the energy hidden in the body (vital energy), allowing it to be preserved, conditioned and improved.

Dress during meditation is also very particular, and it is best to wear fluffy pants, because any tight clothing will make you feel uncomfortable during meditation. While sitting quietly, use self-suggestion to relax your whole body. Every time I relax a department, I fantasize and throw away the uneasiness and anxiety in my heart. After sitting quietly for about 10 minutes, your body will no longer feel tension and pressure. If you can practice more, after a period of time, your mind will always be in a calm state, your thinking will be clearer, and your analytical ability will be improved.

Yoga instructors particularly emphasize that "pranayama" and "meditation" are higher-level yoga techniques and are not suitable for self-study. Beginners must practice various yoga postures first and can learn them only after they have fully mastered them. In addition, people suffering from any emotional or psychiatric illness should not practice "pranayama" or "meditation" to avoid danger. Simply put, random practice of "pranayama" or meditation can cause a lot of harm to your health. Since the main target of this book is yoga beginners, only the above-mentioned brief introduction can be given in the "pranayama" and meditation sections. If you are interested in these two topics, please lay a good foundation for postures before you can find a professional tutor to study.

So, if you want to learn yoga well, you should still find a professional yoga training institution to do a good job. It is safer. (Internship Editor: Wu Jinyu)
