Crime and yoga are not two words that are often used together in the same sentence, and part of the reason are combined in this article. When you think of a stereotypical criminal someone who does yoga really can not come to mind. We believe that criminals like being angry, or at least active, while Yogi is so quiet and sedentary. In reality the two are so far away it is hard to think that someone who is committed to regular yoga classes can never become a criminal. Perhaps yoga should be mandatory to combat crime? Here's why:
Yoga classes begin with a simple exercise of walking - the exercise is: Breathe. You may spend an important part of a yoga class focuses on the simple act of taking a deep breath, breathing and feeling that his life giving force to extend all goes well the body, then exhale as deeply and completely. This simple act of breathing concentration has an unprecedented ability to focus mental attention. It allows us to clear the unwanted or disturbing thoughts and restore ourselves a central balance.
The soothing benefits and focus of yoga breathing exercise can quickly and easily through the types of distractions and temptations that can lead to a criminal act, at least one impulsive. Imagine the potential for habitual offenders - the ability to take a moment before committing a crime, focus their thoughts and understand that the best course of action and should be avoided.
Most domestic violence is a direct result of excess stress and tension in a relationship. Statistics show that the arguments that lead to an episode of domestic violence are almost always the 'little things'. The height is small, rather than a great big problem. We offer the ability to calm ourselves, improve and streamline our mind in that situation. Domestic violence is the result of "click" of people. Uncluttering the mind and soothe yourself means that people never got to that point.
Other forms of violent crime are similar to domestic violence - occurs when the voltage increases with time until someone breaks down and throws a punch or pull a knife. With the right tools for self-soothing for these criminals would be much less likely to commit crimes.
Of course, all this presupposes that the criminal does not commit a crime and should only be to not see an alternative, when a certain set of circumstances that arise. They are hungry and can take a piece of bread to do, or feel threatened, not appreciated or despised him and see how awesome the only options. Yoga is not the type of account would benefit calculator that makes a career of criminal activity, because everything is carefully premeditated crime.
Or would it be?
Most people are familiar with the physical and have at least heard of the mental and spiritual benefits of yoga, but few know that the exercises are the foundation of yoga is only the western worlds interpretation of Yoga. Traditionally, the Indian yoga includes a whole philosophy on how to treat others and live our lives. If criminals also followed this part of Yoga, you could see the crime go away. One can only dream ...
