Using Yoga DVDs and Videos to Round Out Your Practice

Using Yoga DVDs and Videos to Round Out Your Practice

Yoga DVD

I absolutely love using yoga DVDs, yoga bluerays and yoga videos during my practices. As a matter of fact, I use one of them almost every time I do yoga. Why do I love using them so much?

They Provide Variety
I don't know about you, but I get bored pretty easily. Doing exactly the same practice over and over again would drive me crazy. Instead of enjoying the relaxation that comes from yoga, I would probably be irritated by having to do the same program every time I practiced. To deal with my need for diversity, I have an assortment of yoga DVDs and I usually pick a different one each time I practice. I choose one that fits my mood and thus enjoy my yoga practice thoroughly.

Enjoy Favorite Classes
Even though I like variety, I also have some favorite programs. With yoga videos, I get to enjoy my preferred 'classes' as often as I like. It's like visiting with an old friend - you know what to expect and it's very comfortable.

They Are Time Efficient
Like you, I never seem to have enough time. Going to a yoga class adds up to two hours to my practice time when you consider driving to the center, finding a parking spot, registering, and getting my space in the class. Sometimes, I can't fit in the extra time into my schedule, so I use a video instead.

They Are Convenient
Yoga bluerays are very convenient because they are always ready when you are. You might want to practice at a certain time, but there isn't a class available. I know this is the case with me. Very often, yoga classes in my area are offered at times that don't fit my schedule. So instead of not practicing at all, I use one of my yoga tapes and I'm all set to go.

You Get to Practice With Renowned Teachers
There are many gifted teachers in yoga and it is a thrill to practice with them. One of my favorite power yoga instructors is Bryan Kest. The only problem is that his studio is in California and I live elsehwere. It's pretty hard to practice with an instructor who lives 3,000 miles away from you. By using one of Bryan's yoga DVDs, it is like he is right there with me in the room.

You Choose a Practice Based on What You Need
A particular Yoga DVD allows you to focus on what you need at a specific time. You can choose one that focuses on stress reduction, one that helps you build your upper body, one that helps build your core. You can also pick one that suits your specific physical situation such as pregnancy yoga or yoga for seniors. You decide what you want and you choose the video that meets that need.

It's Easy to Modify Postures
Lately, I have been dealing with an injured foot that occurred while I was running. As a result, I can't put any pressure on the front of my foot. That means I have to modify a number of poses such as Plank Pose -- I need to put my knees down so I don't bear my entire body weight on my forefoot. Sometimes it takes a lot of extra movements to get into a posture because of this injury. I would find it very uncomfortable to have to do all of these modifications in a regular class with other people around. By using one of my yoga DVDs, I can easily modify the posture to meet my physical needs and I can do it in the privacy of my own home.

Now you can see why I think yoga DVDs and videos are so great. They are easy, convenient, and they can add breadth to your practice. Try some and see for yourself. You might grow to love them too.

Of course, practicing with a Yoga instructor is still important - a good teacher helps you to make sure your postures and positions are correct and it is good to socialize sometimes, as well...

The history of Reiki has been well documented

admin — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 20:20:11 +0000

Reiki - It's History and Emergence in the Wider World

The history of the ancient healing art of Reiki has been well documented. It is widely believed to have originally been practised for hundreds of years by Buddhist Monks.

However, at the end of the 19th Century a Japanese priest discovered this ancient healing art for himself. When his personal belief system was originally challenged, Dr Mikao Usi decided to leave Japan and study the teachings of Buddhism.

Through these teachings and during one particular meditation, Dr Usi was told he should go to Mount Kuri Yama near Kyoto. This he did and whilst there underwent a metaphysical experience which gave him the vision of the keys to what is now commonly known as Reiki Healing.

Dr Mikao Usi decided to use his newfound gift to heal others by setting up a practise in Tokyo. He became very well known and revered for his work and after his death a shrine was erected at Mount Kuri Yama in his honour.

During the years of work as a healer Dr Usi discovered some valuable lessons which have been passed down through the years to all Reiki practitioners. These are basic rules which must be adhered to enable the receiver of Reiki to achieve beneficial healing:-

A. A client must take on the responsibility for their own healing process by way of an exchange between recipient and practitioner either a monetary exchange or a gift.

B. A potential client must want and ask for healing.

These two rules led to 5 basic principles being introduced also into the holistic attitude of healing by using Reiki energy. They are (in condensed form):-

1. Just for today will let go of Anger
2. Just for today I will let go of worry
3. Today I will count my many blessings
4. Today I will do my work honestly
5. Today I will be kind to every living creature

Enjoying the benefits of Reiki does not mean you have a quick fire solution to your health problems. Our minds control so much of our physical symptoms and we must take responsibility too in helping ourselves heal. You may feel incredibly relaxed and care-free momentarily after a reiki session but if you do not scrutinise the causes which brought about your need for healing, then you will end up in the same position. Changes of attitudes may be required ie Principle 1 above, for today let go of Anger. You may suddenly feel the pain in your body disappear. Principle 2, let go of Worry - your headache eases off. Value yourself enough to allow the healing energy to work with you and seek the root cause.

Dr Usi passed down the teachings and principles to others who have taken them worldwide. Such are the success stories of Reiki that previously sceptical minds are now converted to accepting this type of healing and have gone on to become either healers themselves or recipients of the healing. The myth of healing hands is no longer a myth and has been replaced with many, many successful testimonies.
