Happiness, anger, lovesickness: The right yoga exercises for your state of mind
restlessness
Shows itself through: Motor unrest, absent-mindedness, urge to enter
The goal: Bundling of physical and mental energy
That feels good: The temple seat: shift the weight to the left leg, slowly release the right leg from the floor, with the left leg in the squat and cross the right leg with the leg so that the ankle is on the thigh (the further towards the hip, the more better). The upper body remains straight and upright. Now press the sides of the hands together in front of the chest and concentrate on the center. Professionals close their eyes, inexperienced distract the view into the distance. Hold for 20 seconds, slowly dissolve and change sides.
The effect: Body awareness, stability and balance improve. The breath gets slower and deeper. This reduces the excitement of the nervous system to an optimal level. You can concentrate again and your thoughts come
luck
Shows itself through: Tingling in the stomach, the feeling of bursting with energy, the desire to cheer loudly
The goal: Show feelings, let go of energy
That feels good: Embrace the world: arms stretch to the sky and turn in a circle, faster and faster (do not exaggerate: Dizziness!). Laughing, singing, screaming - whatever you feel like doing.
The effect: The arms open to the sky support the "inner" opening so that the feelings of happiness can flow freely. The rotation about the longitudinal axis stimulates the organ of balance in the inner ear, which - depending on the strength of the rotation - triggers tingling, which is known from childhood.
nostalgia
Shows itself through: Lost in thought, difficulty concentrating, pulling in the chest, sighing
The goal: Get closer to the longed-for, no longer distracted
That feels good: Elongation in the stand scale: Stand on the right leg, slowly release the left leg from the floor and guide the left hand to the left foot, the heel pulls to the buttocks. The right arm pulls up long and is stretched. From this position, the weight is slowly shifted to the front, the extended arm leads the movement until the upper body is as horizontal as possible to the ground. Slowly loosen and change sides.
The effect: The whole body is stretched and stretched. The inner yearning is translated into movement, one makes contact with one's own feelings and desires. Then the strain is resolved. The physical relaxation also relaxes mentally and emotionally. One can think back to the here and now.
fury
Shows itself through: Nipples in the stomach, tension, foaming over negative energy
The goal: Get rid of the negative feelings, gain control
That feels good: Driblings: Run on the spot, make very small "Tippelschritte", easily squat down and stomp her feet as fast as possible on the ground. Clench hands into fists and box in small motions from bottom to top. Hold out as long as possible and repeat that until everything is out!
The effect: First, the pulse and the respiratory rate increase. Through the fast, hard box movements aggressive feelings are brought to a climax and lived out. The subsequent physical fatigue also leads to mental relaxation. The strong negative excitement of the organism is broken down, brought to a healthy level.
nervousness
Shows itself through: Mental restlessness, concentration problems, negative stress feelings
The goal: Come to rest, find the center, focus concentration
That feels good: Stand upright: Stand upright, tense your legs, walk on tiptoe, stretch your arms over your head and pull yourself up. Tighten all muscles, stand still and who can, close their eyes or look into the distance. Keep as long as possible.
The effect: This exercise demands and promotes (inner) balance and stability. The breath becomes calmer and deeper. It comes to a better "awareness" of your own body, which mutes the mental states of mind on a psychological level.
powerlessness
Shows itself through: Slackness, one is impotent, exhausted, dull in head and body
The goal: Activate energies and make them flow
That feels good: Sternum stretch: Go to the quadruped stand, wrists are under the shoulders. With the exhale pushes the sternum forward, and the navel pulls inwards. Then lower the butt down. The upper body remains straight, the lumbar spine flat.Feel and enjoy tension and strength in the whole body! Release again, back to the starting position. Variation: In the final position release the knee from the ground. 5 repetitions.
The effect: The large muscle groups are activated, especially those of the abdomen, the shoulder girdle and the upper arms. This will make the breath faster, providing the body and brain with fresh oxygen. The slow motion control causes - with sufficient effort - surprising forces are developed.
lovesickness
Shows itself through: The whole range of classic symptoms
The goal: Caress the soul, find security
That feels good: Eat chocolate or
The small package: Lay on your back, put on your knees and wrap around with your arms. Rolling back and forth on the back. Who likes: Close your eyes.
The effect: A hug is always good, in this prenatal position anyway. It is guaranteed to bring back the feeling of security. You find comfort in yourself.
