Umkhuba we-yoga ngokwemvelo ungowomuntu ngamunye, unolwazi ngqo ngaphakathi kwendawo engaphakathi yomzimba. Uma uya kumata ngohlobo lwakho oluyingqayizivele lomzimba, i-geometry yomzimba, ukulimala okudlule kanye nemikhuba, lokho ogcina ukubheka ekusebenzeni kuyisimo sendawo yonke. Ngokusebenza nomzimba wakho kuma-asanas, ulwela ukusondela ekulinganiseni.
Ukudla futhi kuwumkhuba lapho ufuna ibhalansi yendawo yonke. Njenge-yoga, ukudla kungokomuntu siqu. Kubalulekile ukufunda ukuthi ungazilungisa kanjani izidingo zakho ezinhlelweni eziningi zokudla ezidumile kanye nezidlo. Ukuthuthukisa imikhuba yokudla enengqondo kungasebenza njengesisekelo esisekela ngempela futhi sithuthukise i-yoga yakho. Kodwa enye yenjabulo nezinselele zokuthuthukisa isimiso esinjalo somsoco ukuqaphela ukuthi ukuthola nokukhetha ukudla okufanele akulula kangako.
Kunezinganekwane ezingapheli (futhi ngokuvamile eziphikisanayo), izinganekwane, nezinganekwane zasemadolobheni emphakathini we-yoga ezithi ukudla okuthile “kuhle” noma “kubi” komkhuba we-yoga. Cishe uke wezwa enye yale nganekwane ye-yogic: “Yidla i-ghee eyengeziwe nezithelo ezinoshukela, gwema amazambane. Ungafaki iqhwa emanzini. Khumbula, uma uzivocavoca ekuseni, ungadli isidlo sakusihlwa ngaphambi kokuba ulale!”
Umlando Wezinganekwane Zokudla
Ukuze aqonde imbewu yeqiniso esekelwe kulezi zinganekwane zomsoco nezinye, umuntu kumelwe aqale ngokulandela umsuka wazo. Izinkolelo-mbono eziningi zihlotshaniswa nemibhalo ye-yogic, eminye iphikisana nezinkolelo-mbono ezitholakala ku-Ayurveda. I-Yoga ixhunywe kusukela ekuqaleni kwayo kwe-Ayurveda, egxile emcabangweni wezinhlobo ezahlukene zemizimba (ama-doshas), ngayinye yazo echuma ngezinhlobo ezahlukene zokudla.
Isibonelo, i-Vata dosha idinga ukudla okusekelwe phansi okufana namafutha nokusanhlamvu. I-Pitta isekelwa ukudla okupholisa okunjengamasaladi nezithelo ezinoshukela, kuyilapho i-Kapha izuza ekudleni okuvuselelayo okufana ne-cayenne kanye nopelepele oshisayo.
Incazelo ye-Ayurveda ukuthi bambalwa abantu abangabameleli be-dosha eyodwa, iningi empeleni liyingxube yezinhlobo ezimbili okungenani. Ngakho-ke, umuntu ngamunye kufanele azitholele ibhalansi yakhe siqu yokudla ezolingana nomthethosisekelo wakhe ohlukile.
Ukudla kufanele kunikeze amandla nokucaca kwengqondo. Ukudla “okuhle” kungase kuphelele kumuntu oyedwa, kodwa kungalungile ngokuphelele komunye, ngakho-ke kubalulekile ukuqonda ukuthi yikuphi ukudla okusebenza kahle kuwe lapho uzizwa unempilo, ulala kahle, ugayeka ukudla kahle, futhi uzwa ukuthi umkhuba wakho we-yoga unenzuzo, futhi ayikukhathazi.
U-Aadil Palkhivala weWashington Yoga Center ubhekisela emibhalweni ye-Ayurvedic futhi ukholelwa ukuthi iyiziqondiso zabasebenzi kuphela, hhayi imithetho eqinile nesheshayo okufanele ilandelwe ngokungaphezi.
"Imibhalo yasendulo yafeza inhloso yokuphoqelela izindinganiso zangaphandle kwaze kwaba yilapho umsebenzi we-yoga ezwela ngokwanele ngokuzijwayeza ukuze aqonde lokho okwakumlungele njengomuntu ngamunye," kuchaza u-Palkhivala.
Isazi sokudla okunempilo esizinze eMassachusetts uTeresa Bradford useneminyaka esebenza ukusiza abafundi be-yoga ukuthi bathole indlela elinganiselayo yokudla esekela umkhuba wabo. Ube nguthisha we-yoga iminyaka engaphezu kwe-15 futhi ulwazi lwakhe olujulile lokudla okunomsoco waseNtshonalanga kanye ne-Ayurvedic kunikeza umbono oyingqayizivele ngalolu daba.
“Ukwenza izitatimende ezijwayelekile mayelana nokuthi yini okufanele noma okungafanele siyidle, njengokuthi 'amazambane akwenza ulale,' kuyahlekisa,” usho kanje. Konke kumayelana nomthethosisekelo womuntu siqu. Izambane elifanayo lithambisa i-Pitta futhi libhebhethekise i-Vata ne-Kapha, kodwa alinconyelwe abantu abanezimo zokuvuvukala noma ze-arthritic. Amanzi abandayo angaphinde athinte imithethosisekelo ethile. I-Vata inobunzima ngayo, uKapha angase abe nenkinga yokugaya ukudla, kodwa uPitta angathola ukuthi iyasidambisa ngempela isimiso sakhe sokugaya ukudla.”
Ungadla kanjani ngokusho kwe-dosha yakho
Ama-yogi amaningi aqalayo azama ukungadli amahora amaningi ngaphambi kokuzilolonga. Umqondisi we-Unity Woods Yoga uJohn Schumacher ukholelwa ukuthi ukuzila ukudla njalo futhi isikhathi eside kuba buthakathaka okuvamile emzimbeni.
“Nakuba ukudla ngokweqile kungaba kubi ezenzweni zakho, kukwenza ube yisithukuthezi futhi ukhuluphale kakhulu ukuba ungene ujule ekumiseni, ukuzila ukudla nokudla kancane kungaba nomthelela omubi kakhulu,” usho kanje.
“Lapho abafundi beqisa ekuzileni ukudla, bangase bacabange ukuthi baphokophele ebunyeni obukhulu noNkulunkulu, kodwa empeleni basondela ekuphelelweni amanzi emzimbeni,” kunezela uBradford. “Enhlotsheni ye-Vata ne-Pitta, ukweqa ukudla akubangeli nje kuphela ushukela wegazi ophansi kanye nesiyezi, kodwa futhi kuholela kwezinye izinkinga zempilo ezifana nokuqunjelwa, ukungagayeki kahle kokudla kanye nokuqwasha.”
Ngakho-ke, uqala kuphi ukubumba indlela yakho yokudla elinganiselayo? Njenge-yoga, udinga ukuqala kusukela ekhanda. Ukuhlola nokunaka kuyisihluthulelo sokuthola indlela yakho yomuntu siqu yokulinganisela nokukhula. U-Schumacher uncoma ukuthi uzame izinhlelo zamandla ezikukhangayo ukuze ubone ukuthi ziyakusebenzela yini.
Uthi: “Njengoba uqhubeka nokwenza i-yoga, uthola umuzwa onembile wokuthi yini efanele umzimba wakho. “Njengoba nje ushintsha iresiphi oyintandokazi ukuze ivumelane nalokho okuthandayo, lapho usuphinda uyipheka, ungakwazi ukujwayela ukudla kwakho ukuze kusekele ukuzijwayeza kwakho.”
U-Palhiwala uyavuma ukuthi intuition nokulinganisela kuyisihluthulelo sokuthola imikhiqizo esekelayo.
“Qala ngokuthola ibhalansi emazingeni amaningi ekudleni okudlayo,” uyatusa. "Khetha ukudla okwenza umzimba wakho uzizwe ujabule lapho ukudla, futhi ngemva kwesikhathi eside uyeka ukudla."
Naka inqubo yakho yokugaya, umjikelezo wokulala, ukuphefumula, amazinga wamandla kanye nokuzijwayeza kwe-asana yangemva kokudla. Idayari yokudla ingaba ithuluzi elihle lokushadi nokudweba. Uma uzizwa ungenampilo noma ungalinganiseli nganoma yisiphi isikhathi, bheka idayari yakho bese ucabanga ngalokho obukudla okungase kubangele lezi zinkinga. Lungisa indlela odla ngayo uze uzizwe ungcono.
Ukuqaphela ukudla kwakho
Sebenzisa ukucabangela okufanayo nokuqaphela ukuthi uhlela kanjani futhi ulungisa kanjani ukudla. Isihluthulelo lapha inhlanganisela yezithako okufanele zivumelane futhi zihambisane ngokunambitha, ukuthungwa, ukukhanga okubonakalayo kanye nomphumela.
“Kudingeka sifunde ukusebenzisa izinzwa zethu eziyisithupha, okuhlangenwe nakho kwethu siqu kokuzama namaphutha,” kweluleka uBradford. “Isimo sezulu, ukusebenza kwasemini, ingcindezi nezimpawu zomzimba yikho okusisiza ukuthi sinqume ukukhetha kwethu ukudla kwansuku zonke. Nathi njengengxenye yemvelo, sisesimweni soshintsho. Ingxenye ebalulekile yokuguquguquka esikuhlakulelayo ku-yoga ukusenza sivumelane nezimo ngemikhiqizo yethu. Nsuku zonke, kukho konke ukudla.”
Ungamukeli noma yimiphi “imithetho” njengeyiqiniso. Zizame futhi uzihlole wena. Isibonelo, uma utshelwa ukuthi abenzi be-yoga abadli amahora ayisikhombisa ngaphambi kokuprakthiza, buza umbuzo, "Ingabe lona umqondo omuhle wokugaya kwami? Ngizizwa kanjani uma ngingadli isikhathi eside kangaka? Lokhu kungisebenzela? Kungaba yini imiphumela?
Njengoba nje usebenza kuma-asanas ukuvumelanisa futhi uqondise kabusha isikhungo sakho sangaphakathi, udinga ukufunda ukubona ukuthi yikuphi ukudla okudingwa umzimba wakho. Ngokunaka umzimba wakho, ukuthi ukudla okuthile kukuthinta kanjani kuyo yonke inqubo yokudla nokugaya, kancane kancane uzofunda ukuqonda kahle ukuthi umzimba wakho udinga ini futhi nini.
Kodwa nalokhu, kudinga ukwenziwa ngokusesilinganisweni—lapho uba nokuthatheka, umuzwa ngamunye ungakhinyabeza ngokushesha kunokuba ube nengxenye ekulinganiseni. Ekwenzeni ukudla ne-yoga, kubalulekile ukuhlala uphila, uqaphela futhi ukhona okwamanje. Ngokungalandeli imithetho eqinile noma izakhiwo eziqinile, ungavumela inqubo ngokwayo ikufundise ukuthi ungasebenza kanjani ngokusemandleni akho.
Ngenjabulo yokuhlola kanye nokukhululwa kwelukuluku, ungakwazi ukuphinda uthole izindlela zakho zokubhalansisa. Ibhalansi ibalulekile kukho konke ukudla kwakho komuntu siqu nasekuhleleni ukudla ngakunye. Lapho wenza noma ulungisa iresiphi ukuze ivumelane nalokho okuthandayo, kufanele ucabangele izici ezimbalwa: ibhalansi yezithako ezisesitsheni, isikhathi esisithathayo ukulungisa ukudla, isikhathi sonyaka, nendlela ozizwa ngayo namuhla.
