Tips to achieve Vairagya?

Here are the tips to achieve Vairagya:


  1. Practice humility in daily life

Humility takes us towards Vairagya. There are various ways to develop humility in our attitude:

  • We can try by offering a place to sit to elderly people, or children, or pregnant women. 

  • We must help physically impaired people in various walks of life, maybe as small as a thing like helping a blind person cross the road. 

  • We often dislike some people but we should never find happiness in their misery or suffering. 

  • Never hesitate in apologizing. 

  • Share food with people around us.

  • Give your time and energy to people in need. 

 

  1. Control senses

In Yoga, we believe to moderate all our activities and senses. All our actions should also be controlled. 

  • When we have our favourite food in front of us we can’t control and continuously eat. We eat more than our appetite. We forget the sole purpose of food. We should only eat how much we should, we shouldn’t get drifted away with desire.

  • Stop making impulsive decisions. Every action should be done after the mind gets calm. Don’t act on the basis of impulses. 

  • We generally focus less on our responsibilities and spend time on entertainment and fun. We should cut down on that and focus on important things in life.

  • All this will help you focus on the important things in life. Things that are just for pleasure will automatically get side-lined. 


  1. Practice asanas regularly

The following asanas can help you inculcate the bhavna of Vairagya in you. Practice them regularly for better results.

  • Nishpanda Bhava: In this asana the objective is to attain a ‘motionless state of mind’. Try to focus on one of the organs and not be deviated from it. Try not to think anything in this. 

  • Yogendra Pranayam 4: This is a breathing technique which betters your lungs. This is also known as diaphragmatic breathing. It relaxes you completely. 

  • Shavasana: In this we consciously relax our mind and entire body. We practice detachment in this. 


Practicing all these regularly in our daily lives can help us reach Vairagya sooner.
