The word “yogi” means “to realize the
wisdom of pure awareness.” To do this, many yogis from around the world have
gained a deep level of mastery in meditation, spiritual development, and
yoga. From years of dedication, they have cultivated an extraordinary ability
to focus their complete attention on connecting with spirit and gain a
profound level of control over their minds and bodies. Although we may not
wish to dedicate our lives to becoming a great yogi, we can learn and find
ways to apply their beneficial principles to our lives. Like all yogis, we can make it a priority
to connect with spirit. A few moments spent focusing our attention inward can
allow us to see life with fresh eyes. We also can expand our view of the
world by educating ourselves like the yogis do before they attain yogic
mastery. Yogis study more than spiritual disciplines, such as philosophy, the
arts, and medicine. Another way to emulate a yogi is to practice the science
of yoga, which has the power to support both our physical health and mental
wellness — and cultivate greater mind-body harmony. In addition, yogis chant
prayers for the well-being of the world. Through the mindful practice of
chanting, positive thoughts, and meditation, we learn to have compassion,
feel empathy, and look for the good in every situation. We also become aware
of our ability to create change in the world with our actions and intentions. Yogis have been called "supreme
artists of life" for their ability to treat every situation like a
spiritual endeavor. As we aspire to express patience, compassion, and peace
in our lives, we too can radiate the tranquility, warmth, and joy attributed
to these spiritual masters. |
