Yoga and Mental Health

October 22nd, 2009

Our body is made up of innumerable living cells and each such cell, according to yoga, contain another subtle cell which controls the biological cell.According to the modern science our blood consists of more than 75,000,000,000 healthy cells, which float in it and carry the oxygen to all parts of the body to nourish them.These same cells take the nourishment’s from the blood and provide it to all the organs and tissues, infuse our digestive system, keep the heart beat, regular, heal up the wounds and stop bleeding.These cells performs all these functions automatically. Yoga believes that these cells can perform all such functions because each cell is “intellectually developed” to some extent.In spite of this intellectually development of these cells, the human mind exercise control over them.They therefore obey the orders of conscious as well as the sub-conscious mind.It is therefore easy to infer from this that for the health and proper growth of the body, a healthy mental attitude and sound mental health are essential.
