6. Who is called a
PsyYogi?
The Person or the Yogi who

7. What are three Core beliefs of PsyYogi?
The
practitioner of PsyYoga (also known as PsyYogi) is grounded in the
following three core beliefs:
(i)
PsyYogi must follow the fundamental principles of universal bliss, love,
tolerance, diversity, and empathy for all of nature's creations, not provoke
divisions or cause harm.
(ii) PsyYogi
believes that any shift toward a diverse and tolerant world must commence from
within oneself.
(iii) PsyYogi
embrace the ancient Vedic concept of 'Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam' which
basically embraces the whole world, its people, flora, fauna, and all of the
beautiful creations as one single family. This family comes above everything.
Above our nationality, our race, our religion or our culture.
8. What is the concept of "Vasudhaiva
Kutumbakam" ?
The "Vasudhaiva
Kutumbakam" origin 600 BCE (Sanskrit: वसुधैव
कुटुम्बकम.
from “vasudha” - the earth; “iva” - is; and “kutumbakam” - family) is a Sanskrit
phrase that denotes that "The World Is One Single Family."
The
ancient Vedic sages has said "The entire world is truly just one
family." - The world is like a small, tightly knit family with diverse
regions, religions, cultures and languages.
The Vedas were composed
during 600 BCE and handed down orally over a period of about 10 centuries, from
about the 15th to the 5th century BC and are a
large body of religious texts originating in ancient India and is composed in Vedic
Sanskrit.
We at PsyYoga
call this concept of "Vasudhaiva kutumbakam" as:
"Connected Souls ®" : Meaning we are all interconnected souls of one large family on our planet Earth.
All the living organisms in
our environment, encompassing both plant life (flora) and animal life (fauna),
share a common ancestry and interconnected roots.
The in-depth examination of
DNA in contemporary scientific research has revealed correlations and
similarities among all living entities to an large extent.
At PsyYoga , we believe that this similarity provides us with a profound understanding that underscores the fundamental interconnectedness of all life forms.
In essence, this similarities amongst all creations represents a basic comprehension facilitated by the advancements in the study of
genetics supports the evidence of "Vasudhaiva kutumbakam" envisaged by sages centuries ago.
This similarity can also be seen among stars, planets and other telestial creations throughout our universe. Amazing!
"The core belief of 'connected
souls' is the basis and the foundation for peaceful coexistence on earth
among all its inhabitants living together peacefully and blissfully." -
PsyYoga.org
9. What is the purpose of PsyYoga?
The purpose is to help us
appreciate our life, the whole of life forms, promote positive thoughts, to aid in healing our inner
wounds and the wounds in the hearts of others affected by the events in this
world, and to imbue ourselves and others with abundant joy.
Our Earth is a small blue dot in this vast, infinite universe. Yes. Nothing more.
Our human lifespan, compared to the light years of this universe, is exceedingly minuscule.
Despite this, the human race has engaged in more wars for the sake of religions than for any other reason.
As a consequence of these conflicts, humanity has suffered in unprecedented
ways.
Future generations must recognize that diversity is a natural law.
The idea of having only one religion, one culture, or one language worldwide won't be possible.
Uniformity is shunned by nature as it promotes diversity and connectedness.
Nature doesn't like to have only one type of tree or animal in a forest, is not practical.
It's crucial for people to understand this and change their ways before humanity is entirely consumed by religious, racial or regional divisions. What significance do they hold when Earth itself is a pale blue dot in the vast spectrum of our universe.
This is the primary belief
system of a PsyYogi.
PsyYoga is not intended for fame, adulation, financial gain, awards, trophies, or the pursuit of glory and legacy.
"PsyYoga is solely about discovering blissful living within ourselves
and sharing it with those around us to contribute to the creation of a
beautiful society."
At PsyYoga.org, our sole purpose is to engage in meaningful work, to serve, inspire, and heal.
We aim to
heal the world from the turmoil within and around us by assisting people
through the practice of PsyYoga in managing their psyche and opening up their
hearts to avoid atrocities committed on the human race globally.
Our true purpose is to enable the 'Power of the Psyche®' in people to work for them, not against them.
To help them understand that:
"This short life is both magical and a gift bestowed on us by
nature."
Humanity 2.0 :
In summary, all our endeavor at PsyYoga.org is an sincere attempt to elevate humanity to " Humanity 2.0® "
What is Humanity 2.0 -
Humanity 2.0 is the next level of human existence wherein we envision a society that is more diverse, tolerant, climate-conscious, and joyful inside. Fostering a populace that coexists and prospers without the burden of wars, conflicts, and the misapplication of technology. Bridging differences through the pursuit of psychological harmony, encapsulated in the concept we call as "The Connected Souls" a philosophy known as "Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam" in Sanskrit.
10. The Mission of PsyYoga at
the individual level
The primary mission of
PsyYoga at the individual level is to maintain good mental and emotional health by living in a Blissful State.
What is the core principle
of PsyYoga?
The core principle of PsyYoga is "Start with Bliss®"
That means "Start Every
Activity from a Blissful State" this teaching is at the core of PsyYoga.
Blissful state is achieved,
when pain and pleasure is harmonized, loss and gain is harmonized.
It's a psychological harmony,
and Yoga is for affirmation of that harmony into the self.
We know anger damages
relationships, yet we ignite at times.
We know stress hurts, yet
we're stressed most of the time.
We know anxiety is bad, yet
we're anxious, uncertainty adds fuel to it.
Because, there is no way to
embed what we know onto our psyche system so that, situations are handled by
our psyche in auto-pilot mode, the way we had wanted it.
It's essential to note that,
in the realm of behaviors, only prevention is effective; postmortem analysis is
not helpful.
Through the practice of
PsyYoga, the benefit lies in the automatic activation of the right action for a
given circumstance, eliminating the need for external or forceful intervention,
such as relying on 'willpower,' which is prone to failure in the long run.
11. Usage of PsyYoga
(a) 'PsyYoga Affirmations'
will help engrave the strong positive affirmations into the subconscious, so
one can live the way, one intended to be, in auto pilot, without gaps in one's
knowledge and the real practice.
(b) PsyYoga can also be practiced as an excellent premeditation ritual to do before sitting for meditation. This could aid to bring one to a meditative state of the mind, and help to de-clutter the mind psychologically, and remove the inner chaotic noises that bring imbalances and turmoil inside of us.
12. A Brief Introduction to The PsyYoga System
We know about the yoga of
the body (the various yoga asanas), yoga of the mind (meditation) but, can we
do something to alter, the not so good areas of our psyche, that
sometimes disturb us from experiencing pure happiness, and bliss in life?
For ages we know, the Hatha
Yoga takes care of the realms of the body, and Raja Yoga the mind,
the body, and the mind are by-and-large the same for most of us living in a
particular culture or demography.
There's something else that
needs attention, the one that is unique to us: Our Psychology.
Our psychology is unique to
us, and it depends upon our life experiences that we'd go through in this
journey called life.
No two person's life journey is the same, hence no two person's psychology is the same. - Krish K. Madembeth.
That's why - no two
people are the same either.
Some people are lucky
to have gone through the best circumstances in life and hence their
resultant psyche which they have automatically built based on their life
experience is also the best.
They are lucky,
already happy and blissful.
PsyYoga is not meant
for them.
Generally speaking. They can
live their best way. Not need to alter it.
But some people end-up
having to live with not so likeable psyche that they have built all
through their life, that's what the sum of their life experiences have finally
molded it for them.
Now, challenging and correcting those resultant negative life experiences that's impacting the mental health and obstructing growth of the individual is where PsyYoga aims to contribute.
During a crises, most people
aren't looking for only physical health or their mental health
alone.
They seek psychological
solace, some peace, self-acceptance, and inner well-being.
For them, that inner
emptiness, dissatisfaction and hollowness must go, and must be replaced with
some feeling of fullness, some peace and some happiness.
The material world might
have soothed them a bit but didn't fully help them either.
Look
at some of the people who get addicted to substance abuse, some of them fall
prey to the pleasures of their senses fully knowing that committing excesses is
not healthy while they basically are designed for moderation.
They
were physically strong too. Their acts didn't to the damage, the excesses did
it. Their psychological harmony is in an altered state and their inner control
lost.
Think
of those who take the extreme step to end their own life and succumb to
suicides, its number one killer today among the young worldwide.
Quoting wikipedia "An estimated 1 million people worldwide die by suicide every year. Globally, suicide ranks among the three leading causes of death among those aged 15–44 years."
When we observe most of them who succumb to suicides weren’t physically or
mentally weak either. They were in fact stronger than most people to arrive at
such a bold decision.
One
needs courage to die.
What
they needed was psychological well-being. To harmonize their inner pains and
pleasures of living. Their life's losses and their gains so as to help find new
direction in their life.
What if we can practice to exercise and keep not only our body and mind but our psyche in shape? It will be of huge gain which our physical or our mental faculties can't really provide us. - PsyYoga.org
Through
harmony of the Psyche, a Blissful State is achieved.
The
core principle of PsyYoga that is "To Start Every Activity from a
Blissful State."
Everything
in PsyYoga revolves around the fundamental and transformative concept of
starting every action of ours from a blissful state say, from morning the
moment we wake up till we fall asleep in the night.
PsyYoga
intends to do just that, and help the needy wholeheartedly in a very simple
easy and in a special way.
13. Can Children Practice
PsyYoga?
No.
PsyYoga is not
recommended for children below 15 years of age.
Children are the most beautiful pearls of our society, and are naturally bustling with joy and happiness.
They generally don't need any external intervention or orientation in their psychological growth. It is best they learn, experience and manifest into their own psychological self to become their best possible adult.
14. Is PsyYoga a series of Yoga
Asanas?
No. PsyYoga is not just yoga
asanas. It is purely about the harmony of our psyche.
The PsyYoga System consists
of just three simple yoga poses or asanas
These combined with
breathing techniques, and mental assertion / visualization ( which needs to be
practices fifteen minutes each) will help the practitioner attain harmony in
one's psychology, and help one Start Every Action From a Blissful State.
A few meditating poses are
included only for enhancing the experience, and to also serve as a
pre-meditative ritual.
15. Is PsyYoga a physical
fitness exercise ?
No.
PsyYoga is not a physical fitness exercise however a stress free, and happy mind results in an enhanced physical health.
For physical fitness, an harmonious psyche is an essential prerequisite. An harmonized psyche, and an healthy body has a correlation.
16 .Is PsyYoga a spiritual or religious based system?
No.
PsyYoga is not a spiritual system or religious system.
PsyYoga is not affiliated to any religious practices and it only endorses Divinity not Spirituality.
It's all about pure understanding of human
psychology and bringing in harmony.
However, we believe, it's best to acknowledge the existence of a governing power above all, that guides, all living and non-living matter in the scheme of our universe that we call as Divinity. Every human is essentially Devine in nature but spirituality is a choice.
17. Does PsyYoga practice
prescribe a specific diet?
No.
PsyYoga does not specify
any particular dietary practice.
But, as a general
recommendation, an sattvic diet regimen, one that places emphasis
on juices, water, seasonal food, nuts and fruits is recommended for a calm
mind, and a cheerful spirit.
