Inner Engineering: A treat to oneself

    

"Happiness is a mysterious thing to be found somewhere between too little and too much - Ruskin Bond". 

   The words said by Ruskin Bond can be felt by each of the souls fighting for their survival on daily basis and more precisely due to the impact of the coronavirus or COVID-19. As the saying goes time and tide wait for no one, in a similar way the spread of the coronavirus was first reported in 2019, from Wuhan, China. The seriousness of the threats and their impact on the future was not given a priority, as a result, it has been evident to have been massively spread on a global basis. However, this is not the first time we have heard about occurring of any pandemic situation if we travel back in the past years, we are familiar with the spread of the SARS virus during the year 2002-2003. Well, amidst the chaotic situation many of us have been feeling low with the loss of jobs, or due to the uncertainty of the things happening around us. So, I will be upholding one of the ways which are Inner Engineering, which can be adapted by an individual for their inner transformations, happiness, and well-being. Along with discussing the benefits and another method which can be followed along with by an individual for maintaining a stable balance in their modern life as well as, overcoming the chaotic situation in a positive manner. 

    The concept of Inner Engineering refers to one of the ancient sciences of yoga, which widens inner perceptions within an individual in terms of both mentally and physically. Hence, inner engineering can also be said as an art of recreating or reviving oneself for experiencing life to the fullest. Although this is one of the common attributes that are being possessed by each of the living beings but sometimes, we tend to lose the grip of our lives in between the chaos. This may happen due to the situations we encounter such as due to hectic schedules, improper management of time, personal problems, family problems, depression, and stress. As a result, it leads to cause anxiety, anger, fear of losing oneself or lack of self-confidence/esteem/control. Therefore, the discussion of this concept will be able to help in coping up with all the discussed symptoms that have been acquired by most of the individuals belonging from the age group of eighteen to thirty-five years of age. Along with the sudden outbreak of the pandemic, the situation has led to changing the patterns of works, and the processes that were used on the previous basis for accomplishing the tasks in everyday routine. Thus, the process of inner engineering is considered to, be one of the potential healing techniques for recreation of oneself as well as, bringing a dimensional shift in both professional and personal perspectives. According to the information and facts gathered from various resources, the program offered includes a twenty-one-minute yoga session that covers the five aspects of inner engineering and is beautifully organised for increasing the inner transformations of mind, body, energy, and joy. Followed by, the overall process consists of online sessions, physical sessions abiding by the set of norms and regulations, which will be able to help in the elimination of the negative energies within an individual. Apart from this, it will also be beneficial for relaxing one’s mind and help in attaining the goals in their lives. 

    Nowadays, the availability of books, information on digital media and the sessions are given by professionals has made it much easier for anyone to experience the process of inner engineering. Nevertheless, we as human beings are different from one another in terms of gender, perspectives, and the lifestyle we want to live in. Although this creates a huge difference, we share common emotions like happiness, sadness, empathy, anger, jealousy, and several others. Meanwhile, the only requirement which we tend to forget along the way is to balance the positive(s) and the negative(s) aspects of life for being more wiser, happier and healthier. Provided it should be noted that one always needs to take of oneself first in order to take care of the others and in this way the mysterious happiness can be found along the way we travelled during our past and all the way in our present and future.

    The other techniques that can be adapted by an individual for coping up with one's wellness are to get engaged in the activities that lead them to self-satisfaction. Followed by, the difficulties can be coped up with the preparation of a Personal Development Plan or PDP for oneself in order to, identify the areas one is having difficulties, measures they can take, allocation time for the same and outcomes. Nevertheless, one should not worry if they are not able to accomplish their activities within time but each time should learn from the mistakes that have been made earlier. If you are not aware of how a Personal Development Plan or PDP looks like for long term goals and short-term goals, do check below I have created one for you but it is not mandatory to use this template as you can create your own. Hope this blog helps you all, and don't forget to take care of yourself first.
