Swasthya Yôga

Olá boa noite,
publico um artigo sobre Swasthya Yôga (Health/Therapeutic Yoga):


The term 'Swasthya' is a samskrita word, which is made of two elements 'swa' and 'stha'. Swa means the Self and stha means established. So, Swasthya means The Establishment in the Self. That person only will be called Swastha or healthy, who is Established in the Self. The English meaning of Swasthya is Health, which is made of two elements one 'heal' and another 'th'. Health means 'Establishment in the Healing Element'. Nothing has the greatest power to heal, but the SELF.

Yoga's constituents move you with a force in the Self which is the greatest healer, so it is considered also as a therapy and called Yoga Therapy. The word "therapy" comes from the Greek word therapeuein, meaning to heal, to take care of. Yoga Therapy heals and take care of the molecules of your body. All of you know that therapy is required only for a disease.

Disease is made of two segments - 'dis' and 'ease', thus dis-ease. The molecules, wherever and in whatever part of your body, mind and vital, lack ease, understand, there is disease or pain or grief. In another meaning, there Self lacks. If you are undergoing any physical, mental or vital dis-ease, let that part plunge into the Self, or let the Self move into those diseased molecules of your body, mind and vital part. Self can be moved and utilized only when see and handle the Self. First you require seeing then handling.

YOGA is a Science and Art, discovered by India, which has been used since ancient time to modern era, for Realization of SELF, so that you can obviously see and utilize your Self for wellness of body, mind, vitals and environment.
