The shoulder stand also known as sarvangasana in Sankrit, is the Queen of all Asanas as it benefits the whole body. To me the shoulder stand is the best anger and stress reliever and while doing it, I feel new vigor and strength, happy, confident and at peace. It's like letting a new life flow into me. The process of being inverted, in my opinion, is like letting yourself go and surrendering your mind and body. You see things from a different perspective and you clear your mind from selfish and mindless thoughts. To me, yoga has a healing effect. It strengthens your core muscles but more importantly it strengthens the mind.
With a very active mind, I find myself thinking about everything. I am a thinker. I ponder about life, about my past, my future, about society and the evolution of music. I think about everything possible whenever I get the chance to and being in NYC where so much is going on around you all the time sends my mind into a state of turbulence. I've recently found myself to be very much at ease and more resistent to these temptations with the help of yoga and meditation. Meditation is difficult initially especially with an active mind. You find your mind wandering actively about every single thing possible. But overtime, you learn to reach the sublime state of mind, where you're wavering between sleep and being awake and you remove yourself from your body. You can almost feel like you're looking down on your own body. After meditation, you feel like a brand new person, cool, calm and peaceful, and you feel invisible walking down the streets of nyc.
