Think back to your childhood. Did you like swinging on a swing? And how hard? At the widest possible arc, to feel like a cosmonaut? Or carefully, a little at a time, back and forth?
One can say with 80% confidence that if you liked to swing hard, the pendulum of your life swings to the full as well. You might, for instance, move easily from one religion to another. Or, having been a fanatical vegetarian, suddenly become an equally fanatical omnivore. Extremes are characteristic of your life.
So what happens to us when we constantly deviate from our axis, from a state of balance? Does the body manage to adapt, when the speed of its processes is far lower than the speed of consciousness? Of course not. The body will press its own demands, trying to quiet its “master”.
Our hormonal system is the first thing to respond to external events. For hormone molecules have a binary structure: they send a signal to the brain, reading the surrounding situation while also drawing on their own memory.
So can the situation be put right simply by doing asanas on the mat?
We all know that lighting a bulb takes two forces — positive and negative. If simply performing asanas is one of those forces, where do we get the second? Any movement cut off from feeling runs idle. Our brain does not register it, and no effect on the body takes place.
It follows that feeling, or awareness, must be brought in. That will be the second force that lets the current flow and the light come on. And the more feeling there is, and the wider its range, the more energy and light will appear in the body.
Hormones can act on our body and our psyche. And through the psyche and the body we can act on the hormonal system. This approach takes classes to a different level of effect, bringing the system into overall balance.
But is it worth practising if the system is in order and your health is perfect?
Certainly, yes. In this case the hormonal yoga method YogaHormonal not only makes it possible to maintain optimal hormone levels in the body but also unlocks talents and increases potential. In this way you can change your life playfully, bringing it into a state of balance. On a yoga mat.
