Obstacles of yoga
Willie Krut
Anyone embarking on the journey of yoga will face a series of obstacles, difficulties and detours. You will need to remove all of the following difficulties, noticed by yoga practitioners for a long time, in order to be able to fully benefit from the positive aspects of yoga. Here is a quick look at the nine major obstacles:
1. Vyadhi – This obstacle refers to physical or mental illness.
Practicing yoga si even more difficult when you are not in great
health. A balanced, healthy life style ensures victory on this
obstacle, by preventing any form of sickness.
2. Styana – The
second major difficulty related to yoga refers to an advanced
state of apathy, which interferes with you willingness to commit
to your responsibilities. We neglect and avoid practice by
procrastinating and this, in turn, leads to coming up with
excuses for not doing our work.
3. Sanshaya – One other major
interference in the practice of yoga is related to the issue of
doubting the benefits of practicing it. This problem also arises
when faith in your own capabilities is low. This leads to a
deviation from the original goals, making you more susceptible
to outside interference.
4. Pramada – When lack of persistence
and will is notices, the 4th yoga obstacle comes in place. Yoga
requires a unique approach, as it is a combination of arts and
sciences. If you practice yoga without the proper emotional and
mental states, you may turn its positive aspects into negative
ones.
5. Alasya – A lazy and inert state of mind and body will
prevent you from receiving yoga’s full benefits. Most people
have a hard time dealing with their own will power, creating the
perfect conditions for this obstacle to appear. The road to
success is hard most of the times and a strong will power can
support your ascent. A passive approach, on the other hand, will
almost certainly lead to a slow and ineffective advance.
6.
Avirati – Physical objects hold a magnetic attraction to the
majority of people. Yoga needs you to let go of these ropes that
tie you to the material world and make progress in the realm of
the spirit. Removing the weight of physical things is vital
while practicing yoga.
7. Bhrantidarshan – Misunderstanding the
path you are taking while practicing yoga can lead to
disappointment. Avoid this by keeping your hopes in good contact
with reality.
8. Alabdha-bhumikatva – We are often victims of
our own discouragement. When a failure occurs we fall into a
state of self-depreciation and low optimism levels. Failing to
reach a step on your road to achieving your ideal can lead to
aggravated forms of this obstacle.
9. Anawasthitatwa – Poor yoga
practice may also lead to the incapability to reach and hold a
higher level of consciousness. This can be frustrating and
result in disappointment.
Overcoming these obstacles is possible by helping your mind to focus on single elements a one time. Do not allow any of these obstacles to increase in power, as the others will soon follow. The passing of time and a strong will and commitment is usually very effective in dealing with the 9 yoga obstacles.
