How can a boy "revitalize" his life through yoga? "The cold window has been in the cold for more than ten years, just to jump the 'dragon' door. However, after trying my best to jump through the 'dragon' gate, I indulged in cigarettes and alcohol all day long, and fell into endless confusion and emptiness. Fortunately, when I met Hui Lan Yoga, my life changed completely. The following is the true story of Mao Cheng, a student of Huilan Yoga. 
The pressure of the third year of high school was high, and I relied on drunkenness to "sleep".
From elementary school to high school, I was the "child of someone else's family" - sensible, obedient, no bad habits, followed the rules from elementary school to junior high school, and then successfully entered the best high school in my hometown, naturally, I took the entrance to a first-class university as an important goal in my life.
But in the third year of high school, I felt a huge pressure to go to school, and I often had insomnia all night long, but the next day I still had to study all day from morning to night, and my mental state was very poor, and in this vicious circle, my grades kept declining.
One day, when I failed to fall asleep again, I suddenly thought: My father basically drinks three meals a day, can he really get drunk and relieve a thousand sorrows? I'm going to try!
So, after a bottle of beer, I was fluttering, and I had a solid night's sleep, and an illusion arose: drinking can relieve my worries and let me sleep well!
Since then, I've been drinking alcohol to "de-stress" and hypnotize. From beer to one, two, three ......Slowly drink liquor, two halves, half a catty ......Then mix liquor with beer and drink it. I'm getting more and more drinking, but the drunken sleep magic is falling out of ......Exam scores have also continued to decline, and if this continues, the dream of going to a key university will definitely be in vain. My parents were shocked when they found out about my abnormality! I decided to rent a room to accompany my study, and my father warned me to be absolutely free of alcohol before the college entrance examination, so I vented the unbearable pressure to my mother, who could only endure it silently, sighing and crying in the middle ......of the night
In this way, I finally passed the college entrance examination.
Unexpectedly, I successfully counterattacked, was admitted to the top 100 of the school, and entered the best university in Hubei Province - Huazhong University of Science and Technology.
I thought that when I went to college, everything would be very different, but the reality was very skinny.
Smoked and drunk, I don't know the way forward, and I met Huilan Yoga for the first time
After entering the university, I didn't pay much attention to other things, but my drinking skills have grown day by day: I often call friends to gather for dinner and drink, and after three rounds of drinking, I will inevitably have another cigarette, and I am addicted to this kind of drunken smoke, happy like a fairy illusion. Although college is more leisurely, there will still be various study and interpersonal troubles, pressure from parents and society, like a shadow. I tried to find "liberation" in the drunken dreams and deaths. I don't know how many times at dusk and sunset, I went to the balcony of the opposite dormitory to smoke a cigarette to relieve my sorrows; I don't know how many sleepless nights, I went to the roof of the dormitory alone and drank one or two bottles of Erguotou. For a while, I enjoyed the feeling of being "ethereal" after drinking: my brain turned very slowly, I was so numb to stress that I didn't feel anything, and when I got drunk, there was a memory vacuum, and I seemed to be liberated for a moment. In fact, the stress and mess are still there.
In such a state of confusion and emptiness, I wasted my freshman and sophomore years, until I was in my junior year, because of a chance encounter, I participated in a college student networking event and got acquainted with Huilan Yoga, and everything began to change.
At that time, I, a science and engineering man, had no concept of yoga, and only thought that yoga was used by girls, and I just wanted to join in the fun. I remember being very shy at that time, and I wanted to lower my head to the ground when I introduced myself. However, when I heard the seniors start to hold the guitar and sing yoga voices, I was amazed: there is such a beautiful sound in the world! I feel more grounded than I have ever felt before, it's amazing! Since then, the door to another world in my life has opened, and it turns out that happiness can be so pure and real!
Sincerely go and reawaken the sunshine boy
Later, I often participated in social activities for Hui Lan yoga enthusiasts, and gradually found that I was not so obsessed with tobacco and alcohol. On New Year's Day of my junior year, I resolutely went to Beijing to participate in the national study and leisure activities of Huilan Yoga. At the event, I met Master Parramhamsa, and some of the teacher's words, such as Daigo empowerment, pierced my heart at once.
The teacher said, "Just as we need food to satisfy our physical needs, we also need spiritual food to satisfy our inner desires for peace and happiness. Without real food for the soul, we will always experience deep anxiety and always feel as if something is missing in our lives. To fill this inner craving, we tried all sorts of things, eating, smoking, drinking, gossiping, ...... non-stopBut in fact, as long as we lack spiritual food, no matter what we do, our hearts will still be empty. Yoga voice meditation can provide us with the spiritual food we need."
Oh, yes! How many lonely and helpless nights, how can I not find food to feed my spirit? At that moment, my heart seemed to be lit up, and I felt extremely comfortable.
I decided that I wanted to do yoga voice meditation regularly in my life. I like to recite yoga voices in a whisper alone, and I also like to socialize with local yoga partners in Wuhan and do group yoga voice meditation together. In this way, Yoga Voice seems to be a friend who knows me best, accompanying me through those difficult times. Gradually, I no longer rely on alcohol and cigarettes to live, because doing yoga voice meditation can help me eliminate my worries, worries, and stress in time, and bring me pure happiness. I deeply realized that yoga voice meditation is the ultimate antidote to stress!
Thank you very much for making my life less stressful!
Thank you Mao Cheng for sharing her story of decompression. I believe that many people have similar experiences: in the face of various pressures in life, there is no good way to relieve stress, so they can only rely on drinking to anesthetize themselves. As everyone knows, borrowing wine to eliminate sorrow will only make you more sorrowful! Because, when there is too much stress, the body releases a stress hormone called "cortisol", and the alcohol in the body stimulates the production of cortisol. Studies have shown that long-term alcohol abuse increases the level of cortisol in the blood, and cortisol is continuously secreted in the body even after no longer drinking. Alcohol is also a sedative, causing a mild, temporary feeling of "numbness". While drinking alcohol can help us take a break from our sorrows, the result is that alcohol impairs brain function, reduces decision-making and makes it more difficult for us to face and solve our problems. Drunkenness can even make people depressed, lose the motivation to change the status quo, and not be able to look forward to life optimistically. It can be seen that "getting drunk to relieve a thousand sorrows" is completely futile, and only by facing the reality and actively looking for ways to solve the problem is the right way. Doing yoga voice meditation is a very good way to release stress. Regular yoga voice meditation can make our thinking more clear and orderly, which can improve decision-making and problem-solving skills. Not only is it effective in reducing stress, but it also prevents new stress from arising and helps us keep stress out. Moreover, its stress-reducing effect is positive and healthy, which is diametrically opposed to the negative effect of drinking alcohol to relieve stress. In addition, as the greatest treasure of yoga, yoga voice meditation melts away stress and deep-seated anxiety, giving us inner peace and the deep joy and purpose that our hearts desire. Let's face life's challenges with real optimism and confidence, and be hopeful for the future.
