Raja Yoga is not a form of physical workout, rather it is a kind of yoga that intends to bring balance to the mind and soul by connecting with the Supreme Soul.
One of the most profound lessons imparted by a Raja Yoga Instructor during one session is about the way people should react to negativity:
Every single person has a specific role. There are those whose role is to make life harder for other people; those who taunt, criticize and discriminate; those who provoke negativity, cynicism, anger and other reactions that are not worth spending so much energy. The person at the receiving end of those actions or words cannot control the mind of the person initiating such negativity because that is his/her role. BUT the good thing is, people have control over the way they react to a certain situation or a stimuli. A person can choose to be positive, to entertain only good reactions, positive values, thoughts and emotions.
Choosing the response to an external stimuli creates a big difference. As former American professional baseball third baseman player, Wade Anthony Boggs puts it, “A positive attitude causes a chain reaction of positive thoughts, events and outcomes. It is a catalyst and it sparks extraordinary results.”
