How to Coexist with Negative Emotions in Yoga | Tapas Yoga HK
Author -
Have you ever thought you need to let go of all negative emotions before practicing yoga?
Some people believe you must completely release stress and emotions before practicing, but the true power of yoga lies in teaching you to coexist with your emotions. Yoga isn't about escaping or suppressing feelings - it's about learning to stay calm and clear amid emotional waves.
The key to coexisting with negative emotions in yoga is learning to notice, accept, and observe them rather than running away or pushing them down. Here are several approaches:
- Awareness and Acceptance: Notice your emotions exist. Allow yourself to feel them without judgment or suppression.
- Breath Control: Use deep breathing and pranayama to help calm emotions and promote inner stability.
- Asana Practice: Choose poses that release emotions. Slow your pace and avoid forcing yourself into perfect postures.
- Meditation and Observation: Through meditation, observe how emotions flow. View them as temporary phenomena.
- Compassion and Self-Acceptance: Maintain a gentle, understanding attitude toward yourself. Don't criticize yourself for emotional fluctuations.
- Learning from Emotions: View negative emotions as signals reflecting inner needs. Learn and grow from them.
Yoga helps us stay calm amid emotional waves and accept our feelings with an open heart. This is part of integrating mind, body, and spirit. Don't push yourself too hard.
