Yoga - Dr. Motaleb Barazandeh (Ph.D)

Yoga - 2


The word Yoga is an ancient Sanskrit for "union", which refers to the merging of the body, mind, and spirit. So Yoga, in general, is a spiritual practice or discipline that helps the individual unify his/her body, mind, and heart. Although many people know Yoga as a type of exercise system that stretches and strengthens the body through various poses known as asanas (postures), it is more than an exercise routine. The breathing techniques and relaxation release tension and stress, and teach you to relax and enjoy life. Deep Relaxation is traditionally the conclusion and culmination of every Yoga session. The meditation practice teaches to calm the mind and brings emotional balance. It also increases awareness of what is happening in your own body and mind. For example some of yogis can increase or decrease their heart beat at will. Finally it increases your awareness. If you stay with yoga long enough, you may discover a "spiritual awakening" Therefore not only does yoga increase circulation, improve flexibility and muscle tone or relieve chronic pain and alleviate anxiety-related disorders but also supports us in developing personal practices that cultivate a sense of light, harmony, health, and well-being.

Types of yoga:
There are many types of yoga. Amongst the most popular are:

Hatha Yoga: deals with physical postures and breathing.

Raja yoga: western kind of Yoga. It unites the physical, mental and spiritual aspects of the self. It is the most practical.

Karma Yoga: spiritual practice to help the individual unify body, mind, and heart through certain practices in one’s daily life.

Bhakti Yoga: a devotional form that includes chanting and worship practices.
Jnana yoga: the Yoga of knowledge, they find their peace through the study of scriptures.

Kundalini yoga: focuses on the release of internal energy, using postures, breathing and meditation.

Ashtanga Yoga: a fast flowing, aerobic yoga workout.

Iyengar Yoga: strong, precise style of yoga for the fitness conscious.

Vini yoga: a gentler style with emphasis on healing.

Satyananda yoga: a gentle style of traditional Hatha Yoga, suitable for all age and shape.

Bikram Yoga: a dynamic style of yoga, practiced in a heated room.

Who does Yoga?
Yoga benefits people of all ages, men and women. People young and old can gain many benefits from regular yoga practices, and asanas can be adjusted to fit physical limitations and other complications. If you want a break from treadmills or the pool etc, take a look at yoga. Not only are you striving towards physical well being, you are striving towards spiritual well being as well.

Meditation - Dr. Motaleb Barazandeh (Ph.D)

Meditation:

The term "meditation" is often used both to denote the process or technique of meditation, as well as the state "elicited" by meditation practice. Usually during meditation we concentrate on a particular object or idea, such as a flower, a candle flame, a sound, a word (mantra), an image of a deity, our breath, or, in its purest form, simply on whatever is. A beginner would benefit most from the insight meditation style: simply concentrating on the breath and whatever is. The practice of meditation will gradually reduce the stream of thoughts arising in your mind which leads to relaxation, inner peace, relationships improvements and an increase in the ability to concentrate.

Finally Meditation is one of the proven alternative therapies. It can be broadly classified under the mind-body medicine. Some people want to improve their concentration for work, study, or sports; others are looking for calm and peace of mind. Then there are people trying to answer fundamental questions about life. With regular practice, meditation can help all of us to find what we are looking for.

Metaphysics - Dr. Motaleb Barazandeh (Ph.D)

Metaphysics:

The word Metaphysics is a combination of two words-Meta, meaning over and beyond and physics. Thus, the combination means over and beyond physics. Traditionally, metaphysics refers to the branch of philosophy that attempts to understand the fundamental nature of all reality, whether visible or invisible. It seeks a description so basic, so essentially simple, so all-inclusive that it applies to everything, whether divine or human or anything else. It attempts to tell what anything must be like in order to be at all. The word Metaphysics has become a description of many fields of interest such as: Philosophy, Religion, Spiritualism, Parapsychology, Mysticism, Occultism, Telepathy, Clairvoyance, Precognition, Retrocognition, Mediumship, Psychokinesis, Yoga, ESP, Dreams, Jungian Psychology, Astrology, Meditation, Self-Help Studies, Positive Thinking, Life After Death, Reincarnation, etc.
