In the last three years, I started to take much more care of my body than ever before. The reminder that I am not only made of ideas, but of a fragile body that needs to be taken into account took me some time to acknowledge but my life definitely changed for good. Although I am still far from being fully aware of my physical limitation and acting accordingly, those days I am spending a significant amount of time taking a break from fighting all the time against myself.
Therefore, my growing interest in trying various methods and pathways to bring together both mind and body, particularly through more sport and activities, but also through meditation and various body massage sessions. Healing takes times and may occur in the most unexpected places.
My relationship with Yoga was not always smoothly, as my mental perception of the techniques was often contradicted by the hard work required by the various postures. Too much stress for me sometimes. However, after reading Heal Your Body and Mind with Yin Yoga by certified yoga therapeut based in Geneva Miranda Mattig Kumar I realize that my problem may be that I couldn´t find until now a good trainer to guide my movements step by step.
The book offers detailed directions for different poses, accompanied by easy explanations and images explaining the effect of various exercises for the body. Many of them can be practiced at home, and the QR Codes inside the book provide direct access to useful videos for your journey of building a healthy body and mind. I tried at home some of the postures and at least for now, it worked very well. They suit the busy lifestyle of someone who may need some time only for her- or himself, to offer to the body a well deserved interior state of wellness.
A recommended book for anyone starting their journey to connect mind and body.
