“Positive visualization has a wonderful role in yoga practices. Positive visualization helps you to prepare your body and mind. This helps you to accept changes that are required to your body. It provides more flexibility to your muscles and removes the blockages of the subtle channels in the nervous system. There are many techniques to integrate yoga and positive visualization. One such simple and effective method is to visualize the whole body as light energy.” — Amit Ray in the book “Awakening Inner Guru“.
Visualizing specific part or gland of the body as light energy increases blood circulation and sends an extra supply of vital energy to that part. Particularly positive visualization around the Solar plexus area is very effective. Visualization works better when you are relaxed.
Yes positive visualization and yoga goes hand in hand. As suggested in the book of Amit Ray, I do 5 to 10 minutes positive visualization before doing yoga asana.
It has wonderful effect.
