Introduction
Development of personality is a critical issue and starts developing from birth, it is of immense importance during adolescence as the actualization of personality takes place during that phase.
Personality is quite a common terminology applicable in the everyday pace of life, it justifies what type of a person we are. We can see people who are friendly or helpful in most situations consistently, this pattern of consistency in their behaviour defines their attitude. Then a person who consistently helps is called “helpful” whereas an ignorant and proud individual will be termed “egoistic”. Therefore the total of all behavioural patterns of a person including attitude, emotions, thoughts, traits, habits, etc., is called personality.
There are several dimensions of personality relating to our behaviour; physical, emotional, mental, spiritual, and intellectual. Hence Yoga and Ayurveda will play a very important role ton emphasizing a holistic development of an individual.
Yoga and Personality Development
There are a plethora of yoga practices and techniques that emphasize a holistic development of our mind, body, and spirit.
Yoga and the Physical Dimension of Personality
The physical dimension of personality relates to our physique of the body, it stands for all organs and systems in our body being properly developed and functioning. The concept applies that a healthy body can be attained through consistent Yogic practices such as Asanas, Pranayama, and Bandha. There are many postures or asanas and pranayamas that improve the functioning of our bodies.
Emotional Dimension of Personality
Our emotional dimension is nurtured through yogic practices and Ayurveda techniques relating to our feelings, emotions, and attitudes. Positive and Negative are two classifications of emotions, for example, kindness, love, compassion, harmony, etc., are positive emotions whereas anger, fear, depression, and anxiety are negative. For holistic personalitydevelopment, our negative emotions must be controlled to a larger extent as they result in the deterioration of our health.
