Buddha’s birthday – Yogic Effort for higher self-responsibility

Author: Chanakya Ganguly | Posted on: 17th, May, 2022

Buddha’s birthday means Yogic Effort for higher self-responsibility
Yoga can put us on the path of freedom with expanded capability like Buddha

Yogic Practice can form character, strengthen the mind, and expand the intellect. The
uncontrolled mind drags us down, but the guided mind frees us, so we can gradually
progress in the Noble Eight-Fold Path of the Buddha – Virtue (Right Speech, Action,
Livelihood), Meditation (Right Effort, Mindfulness, Concentration), Wisdom (Right
View, Resolve). It is a matter of practice and self-study rather than intellectual knowledge.

Yogic Practice of gentle movement, no rush, to find and do things that make one
connect can help realize these Rules: 1) Stay Active & never retire 2) Take it slow
3) Don’t fill your stomach 4) Surround with good friends 5) Get in shape for your next
birthday 6) Smile 7) Reconnect with Nature 8) Gratitude 9) Live in the moment, without
past regrets or future worries 10) Find, follow your passion(s), people to connect & live.

Yogic Process with caloric restriction can help provide a way for healthy aging

Medical progress towards any viable Alzheimer’s treatment has been slow, nonexistent.
Some things good for healthy aging are – healthy eating, yoga, meditation, exercise, and
avoiding obesity (another related, epidemic). A 12-minute daily meditation has revealed
positive mind healing effects in brain MRI scans. Regular meditation practitioners
like Tibetans have shown a lower rate of dementia, and better memory, and agility.
Thanks,
Chanakya
