By practicing Yoga
postures, a person can properly exercise his body, thereby making
himself healthy and active. Proportionate rest should be taken. The
practice of different types of Pramayana (breathing techniques)
enables one to breathe properly. Consuming fresh, natural and
nutritious food is a must for mental as well as physical health. In
continuation to this, the practice of different types of meditation
techniques, gives the person mental peace and helps in proportional
relaxation and rest. Right, positive and philosophical thinking
enables a person to be mentally sound, good, pure and active.
A person can be relieved
from all sorts of mental tensions, frustrations, worries, anxieties,
fear and other illnesses by practicing different meditation
techniques. It is a proven scientific fact that the more a person
becomes relaxed, the happier he becomes.
There is no doubt that a
person who is relaxed, satisfied and happy would be leading a
value-based life. Kindness, sympathy, tolerance, liberal-mindedness,
brotherly love, a co-operative spirit and other virtues will be always
indicated in his behavior. Moreover, concentration, memory power,
intelligence, perseverance and will power will also be shown by such a
person. A citizen having perfect health and a pleasing personality
would be a noble contribution of Yoga to a nation's society.
