  • Meditation:\u00a0<\/strong>Emotional Maturity Needed<\/strong><\/em>:<\/strong>\u00a0Increased concentration power is one of many benefits gained from meditation, but it\u2019s a double-edged sword. An increase in power needs increasing emotional maturity and stability to manage it well.<\/li>\n
  • Yoga and Emotional Maturity:<\/strong>\u00a0\u2018Many feel Yoga is just about concentration techniques. It is not so. It is about reorienting our entire personality, thought, emotion, Will and awareness. And emotional maturity is the most important criterion for yogic practices.\u2019<\/li>\n
  • \u2018Catching\u2019 Emotions:<\/strong>\u00a0Harvard and University of California studies show how infectious emotions are. Our state of mind can influence friends living nearby. It\u2019s no surprise we can also catch the stress of others from emails, social media and texting, hence Yoga\u2019s emphasis on cultivating good influences, helping us to face and digest bad ones.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":2587,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"default","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"set","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}}},"categories":[20],"class_list":["post-3564","project_articles","type-project_articles","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-hindu-education-in-nsw-schools"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wwwip.com.au\/hcanew\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project_articles\/3564","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wwwip.com.au\/hcanew\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project_articles"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wwwip.com.au\/hcanew\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/project_articles"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wwwip.com.au\/hcanew\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2587"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wwwip.com.au\/hcanew\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3564"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wwwip.com.au\/hcanew\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3564"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
