We all know certainly the feeling: long days with many obligations, whether professionally or privately, the challenge to get both under one roof. In fact, in the last twenty years, the everyday life of many people have become more complex and faster. We want more and are willing to pay for it too much. We went through the progress of technology has the advantages of networking and mobility, but also their disadvantages.
Perhaps we forget it sometimes, that we are human beings. And as such we are exposed to certain physical and energetic limitations. Stress and stress often lead to the so-called lifestyle diseases, such as circulatory diseases and allergies.
The human body is not a constant speed machine, but by running in a day different levels of performance. These levels are set by the environment and the load-dependent, but are also influenced by diet, regular exercise and regeneration. Getting enough sleep is an important factor.
In the daily routine include high and low phases of the rule. Everyone knows these fluctuations, but not every job or every day routine allows one to accept such variations. From a yogic perspective, it is considered advisable to respect these phases and thus to help maintain the natural circadian rhythm. In some forms of yoga is actually one or even two phases of relaxation proposed to be distributed throughout the day. These phases take 10 to 20 minutes, a time in which one out of the daily pulls, stop all external stimuli and in a resting position does nothing and relaxed. So pull the plug and just let go. Everyday life unplugged.
My experience with these relaxation periods have shown that even a few short minutes of rest, refreshing effect and that, following the rest of the day much more relaxed and balanced runs.
Practical task:
you create a calm atmosphere in which you will not be disturbed by phones, colleagues and visitors. Lie down with your back on a pad, like a blanket, rug, or similar. Close your eyes and hold your body in a relaxed position. Body all body movements and breathe deep and long breaths into the abdomen. If possible, push all thoughts of work or problems aside.
should not be sleeping during this time, but it is not a waking state, it is an intermediate state, which takes you relatively rapidly in a regeneration state.
felt after 10 to 20 minutes, slowly move the body again, only the fingers and toes, then hands and feet, then arms and legs and stretch like the morning after waking up and lounging. Then open your eyes and even a small Moment to pause before you re-dedicate yourself from reality.
