The art and science of relaxation

Relaxation is an art, for there are various practices which one can develop and utilize to bring about relaxation of mind and body, transforming life into an expression of well-being. Relaxation is also a science, for it is based on solid scientific facts.

Relaxation sounds easy-one merely closes the eyes and sleeps. But, in fact, for most people relaxation, deep relaxation, is very difficult. While resting their minds are in a state of turmoil and their bodies are continually tossing and turning and the muscles twitching. The biggest obstacle to overcome is for people to actually take active steps to bring about relaxation, to develop and use the various techniques that are available. Because most people can not relax, in the real sense of word, they will find that their whole lives will change by just being able to relax. It is such a simple thing, but I can bring wonderful results.

Relaxation is essential to everybodys life. By relaxation we mean a release of tension in both the mind and body for a period of time to allow complete rest and revitalization. This is the whole reason for sleep, but because of the tension-filled lives that most people now lead in the daytime, sleep no longer performs its functions properly. Many people find that they don’t relax even during sleep-they continue to worry and try to solve their problems. This does not lead to the rest that the body and mind require. People wake up in the morning still exhausted and this state remains throughout the day. It is a vicious circle-for they again go to sleep that same night with the accumulated tensions of the day as well as the exhaustion that has accumulated from numberous nights of insufficient rest during sleep. It is no wonder that when the week-end holidays arrive many people spend much of their time sleeping-they need it! It is for this reason that modern man needs to know systematic techniques which specifically induce relaxation. Sleep is still necessary, but it needs to be supplemented with techniques that quickly and efficiently remove worry and stress.

It seems to be a contradiction, but it is nevertheless true that those people who can easily relax can do more work, can enjoy life more, need less sleep and tent to have smoother social relationships in all spheres of life. Now you might ask. “what about lazy or lethargic people, they are completely relaxed, yet not working?” actually this is something different. A lazy person is someone who is either full of so many mental disturbances that he is unable to direct his willpower towards some activity or achievement, or his mental makeup is such that he is reluctant to do anything. This is different from relaxation. A person who can truly relax is able to recuperate mental and physical power and focus it in one direction if required. This is in fact will-power, the ability to direct one’s whole being without distraction. Relaxation leads to strong willpower. Tension leads to dissipation of energy and attention in all directions.

We want your life to be an expression of joy. The way is by cultivating the ability to relax under all conditions and all times. Everything you practice in yoga brings about relaxation and a through revitalization of body and the mind, weather it is by means of postures, breathing techniques, meditational practices or whatever. Yet there are some special techniques which are very simple, which specially bring about relaxation in a short period of time. These we will discuss in another topic.

Thank you for listening and remember….the point is to introvert. Working on your body is great and you look really good, but there is more then postures and gymnastics.

Ok I stop now………the next headline will be ”mechanics of tension” and “physical manifestation of mental tension”

Retreat in Gokarna 2010/2011

12th – 19th December 2010, 9th – 16th January and 13th – 20th March 2011
Climate allowing for temperatures from night to day of 22-32 degrees approx.
Gokarna’s, glorious beaches are one of the reason to visit, with prices and visitor numbers both lower than up the coast in Palolem. Gokarna is about 200km north of Mangalore (7 hr by bus) and 56km southwest of Karwar on the seashore. Gokarna is a pilgrim town, one of the most important in South India.

Namaste Yoga Farm is located on a hill-top overlooking the Arabic ocean only 5 min walk down to Kudle beach. The stunning, clear, star-studded night skies also providing an attractive allure. This organic venue with its small live-in community, draws its powerful energy from the strong, raw elements that converge on this powerful, magical spot. This is a perfect place to bring friends or family/children who do not want to do the yoga, and therefore do not pay for the yoga, making a very reasonable holiday. Email me for more details.

Yoga is practised within a lovely 100 square/foot deck in the garden, complimented by the sound of the ocean. Morning meditations will be held close to a Banyan tree, as the day begins.

Explore the near beaches. There are four beaches south of the scruffy area of sand in the village, Kudle, Om, Half Moon, and Paradise beach.

Take a boat trip to see families of dolphins. Visit Honey beach and stop in Gokarna at the local markt.

There is a variety of individual accommodation on offer, at various prices. Starting with beautiful, volcanic stone huts in the plantation garden with shared bathrooms, and cheaper budget bamboo huts or even tents. A few single options are available with a supplement charge.

Three delicious, organic vegetarian meals are served daily in our beautiful garden.

A variety of professional, quality, healing treatments are available through out the week to compliment the yoga.

Directions:
Flights in to Goa, then by train to gokarna another 2 hours or book a taxi outside the airport that brings you directly for about 30 Euro to Namaste Yoga Farm.
Prices:
