10 Codes to Retrain Your Brain

Yoga can bring a steadiness and strength in the body as well as contentment of the mind. The practice encompasses all levels of psychology, physiology and consciousness thereby putting us into a state of reintegration creating feelings of wholeness. Breathing and alignment in movement brings awareness to postural imbalances in the body and in the mind.

10 Yoga Codes for Mental Reprogramming:

Code 1: Accept others fully, do not take ourselves seriously, do not set expectations.

Code 2: Accept ourselves as our actions are a result of our mental makeup.

Code 3: Watch your habitual reactions and accept things as they come. Do things you don’t like to do to force yourself out of the box.

Code 4: Find your greatest desire. Realize your attachments and remove those emotional hang ups. Always view the world as your teacher.

Code 5: Live in the now, not the past or future. This moment is the only one that matters the most so give your full attention to the now.

Code 6: Identify yourself with an underlying consciousness, not just by actions, body or mind. Don’t get caught up in the mind.

Code 7: Be more open towards others. Express your true feelings. Be who you are so as not to feel alienation.

Code 8: Everyone has potential to attain higher levels of awareness. See this potential in everyone you meet.

Code 9: Don’t avoid difficult situations as they are a true test of character. Be aware of programming and past conditioning. Deal with situations by not hanging on too tightly, hold on loosely to remain in contact.

Code 10: Try to put yourself in other people’s shoes. Don’t blindly react to other points of view, actions, reactions or words. Change your response.

Healthy mind = healthy body = healthy life.

“All that is important is this one moment in movement. Make the moment vital and worth living. Do not let it slip away unnoticed and unused.” ~Martha Graham
