About Sun and Moon Salutation
SUN SALUTATION
Sun salutation is the basic series of hatha postures to develop the intention and condition the brain so that the practitioner can prepare the mind and body for higher experiences. It is a positive motivation with progressive overload on the mind and body, developing qualities like will power, confidence, courage, and clarity of thoughts. Sun is characterized as hard, fast, solid, dry, focused, hot, and aggressive. It is associated with masculinity and daytime. It may be considered as a preliminary or prerequisite to go deeper into yogic way of life.
One can achieve deeper cosmic connection and internalisation of one's own awareness with regular practice in the prescribed manner. The flow is designed in a manner to give the practitioner confidence and challenge his ability in a progressive manner so that he or she can successfully transcend to the next level and set new threshold every time.
Sun Salutation helps in developing body strength, stamina, flexibility in removing sluggishness of mind, and also habits like procrastination. In addition, it reduces stress and chronic fatigue.
MOON SALUTATION
The Moon Salutation was created with the goal and intention to honour women's body and women's rhythm while also complementing the Sun Salutation. Women are considered to be a sea of emotions. They draw their inspiration, motivation and energy directly from their intuitive and creative part of the brain, and the Moon Salutation helps them with just that- tapping into their intuitive potentials and using their emotions as a tool rather than a weakness.
Moon usually characterized as slow, soft, insubstantial, diffuse, cold, wet, and tranquil. It is generally associated with the feminine, birth and generation, and with the night.
For some women during menstruation and menopause, the more familiar Sun Salutation is too stimulating for the nervous system, and should be practiced gently or not at all. During pregnancy, several of its postures are contraindicated, as they could injure either foetus or mother. In contrast, the Moon Salutation cools and calms the nervous system, and includes several of the most beneficial postures for menstruation, pregnancy, and menopause.
Men on the other hand, also benefit out of practicing the Moon Salutation because it is such a powerful psychological and spiritual counterbalance to the Sun Salutation. While the Sun Salutation personifies the hero's journey-stepping forward to face life's challenges, the Moon Salutation personifies the journey of descent, sinking into the depths to discover one's creativity, the process of literal or metaphoric birth.
Moon Salutation helps in calming down irritable mind, straightening out the kinks in one's personality, saving the practitioner from being over-ambitious to the point that he goes on self-destructive path and to appreciate life in all the different shades. |
