Practical Spirituality in Yogveda Yoga

Practical Spirituality in Yogveda Yoga

​

Practical Spirituality is the heart of Shahid Khan’s Yogveda Yoga method. It’s a simple, grounded way to practice yoga that helps you connect your body and mind through what you eat, think, and how you breathe. Shahid Khan teaches: "You become what you eat, You become what you think, You become how you breathe." By making small, everyday changes in these areas, you can live a healthier, happier, and more balanced life.

​

What Is Practical Spirituality?

Practical Spirituality means growing through actions, not just beliefs. Instead of focusing on mystical ideas, Yogveda Yoga helps you improve your life with simple habits. Shahid Khan created this method to make yoga easy for everyone, no matter your background. It’s about building a deeper connection with your body, mind, and spirit through daily choices.

You Become What You Eat

The food you eat shapes your health. Unhealthy foods like processed snacks, sugary drinks, and fast food can make you feel tired, lower your energy, and increase your risk of health problems like diabetes or heart disease. But eating whole, natural foods—like fresh fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats—gives you more energy, better focus, and a stronger body.

Tips for Eating Well:

Choose natural foods like fruits, veggies, and fresh food mainly.
Avoid processed foods high in sugar or salt.
Listen to your body—eat what makes you feel good.

Ayurveda and Food (Simplified):

Ayurveda, an ancient Indian health system, says food affects your body and mind. It groups foods into three types:

Pure Foods (Sattvic): Fresh fruits, veggies, and nuts. These make you feel calm and clear.
Stimulating Foods (Rajasic): Spicy or processed foods like coffee or chips. These can make you feel restless.
Heavy Foods (Tamasic): Fried foods, meat, or alcohol. These can make you feel sluggish.
Eating mostly pure foods helps you feel balanced and supports your yoga practice.

You Become What You Think

Your thoughts shape your life. Negative thoughts—like stress, anger, or self-doubt—can make you feel anxious or sad. They can also lead to unhealthy eating habits, like reaching for junk food when you’re upset. But positive thoughts—like gratitude, kindness, and self-love—can make you feel happier and more peaceful.

How Food Affects Your Thoughts:

Unhealthy foods (like sugary snacks) can cause mood swings by spiking and crashing your energy.
Healthy foods (like nuts, fish, and colorful veggies) support your brain, helping you feel calm and focused.

Tips for Positive Thinking:

Practice gratitude—think of three things you’re thankful for each day.
Be kind to yourself—replace negative thoughts with encouraging ones.
Take a moment to breathe deeply when you feel stressed.
Ayurveda teaches that a calm mind and healthy body go hand in hand. By thinking positively and eating well, you can feel more balanced every day.

​

You Become How You Breathe

The way you breathe affects your mood and emotions. Shahid Khan explains that every emotion has a breathing pattern. For example:

When you’re angry, your breath is short and fast.
When you’re anxious, your breath is shallow and quick.
When you’re sad, your breath is slow and heavy.
When you’re happy, your breath is deep and steady.
If you stay in a negative mood for a long time, your breathing can get stuck in that pattern, making the mood harder to shake. Shallow or fast breathing can also stress your body, raising your heart rate and making you feel tense.

​

How to Breathe Better:

Take slow, deep breaths to calm your mind and body.
Practice breathing exercises "Pranayama" (like those in Yogveda Yoga) to feel more relaxed.
Notice your breath when you’re upset—it can help you feel better faster.
By breathing deeply and consciously, you can reduce stress, improve focus, and feel more balanced.
