Mental & Emotional Aspects of Yoga
In this Category, we will look at the various aspects of Being Human in, and how yoga can affect, the realm of feeling, psychological, emotional, mental, subjective experience.
Now, it is true that from the DSL perpsective, you cannot really do physical yoga to any where near it's potential if you are not involving the mind. Mindful is far superior to stretching while listening to an iPod or the news. And separating the physical and mental realms is only possible at the abstract, mental level. However, for certain conversations and applications, it is possible and even useful to discuss these apparently different aspects of mind and body. But it is only a convenience.
We are in truth looking to integrate them, and have the feeling, emotional, meditative aspects of Being Human as fully integrated with the physical as possible. The DSL approach to yoga is a Thinking, Feeling person's approach.
Within the mental realms, we'll also be looking at dissolving, as much as possible, conflicts between the feeling, meditative apects and the analytical, linear aspects, of mental and emotional experience.
