Powerful Yoga for Bulding Self Confidence | June Exercises
Courage and Self Esteem
Self Belief and Fearlessness
Self Confidence is a key, not just for success in manifestation, but also a key for making genuine spiritual progress. We all know the important part confidence plays in ordinary life, allowing you to make great strides in your personal development, career, relationships, etc, but in the spiritual realm self confidence is equally important. In the spiritual realm you have to have confidence in your ability to work your way through the illusion of duality and the ensuing suffering, and the self belief that you will be able to find your way out of the chaos. At the end of day, as I have often said, enlightenment is a path walked alone.
So how can we build our self confidence? What can we do to develop our courage and self belief so we can be fearless in our approach to life? There are many methods and techniques for building this kind of confidence, and in this article I will give you some yoga and meditation approaches to achieve this goal.
These techniques for building self confidence will be the yoga poses for the month of June and will be part of our yoga practice for the month series. For those who are new to the blog, each month we practice together a particular yoga exercise, pranayama technique and meditation, in order to enhance our skills and learn from each other.

Yoga Exercise for Building Self Confidence:
One of the most popular poses from Kundalini Yoga is Archer Pose and this is the favorite for those warrior yogis looking to boost their course and confidence. This pose is not suggested for ego maniacs as it is just gonna make their heads swell even more 
, but if you are looking to give your inner strength a boost, there is no better technique than Archer’s Pose.
Remember that the biggest aspect of confidence, course and fear is psychological, so as you do this pose and breathe fiercely, engage your mind in helping you grow your self belief and power. With every breath feel yourself expanding and growing more powerful, more focused, more strong and more resolute. Done regularly it will help break the patterns of negative thinking and self doubt. Practice this pose like you are a Warrior Saint.

Bhastrika Pranayama for Energy and Vitality:
Another aspect of self confidence is having a healthy body and having lots of energy. Feeling energetic and healthy will give you a psychological boost and this will translate to you having more confidence. This particular yoga breathing exercise is excellent for helping you build a more energetic body. In addition, Bhastika Pranayama can boost your metabolism, help you detox, increase your lung capacity and also help you burn fat. All of these blessings, especially looking and feeling better, also contribute to having more confidence and power.

Smiling Buddha Meditation for Happiness and Confidence:
Along with looking good and feeling healthy, feeling happy also helps boost confidence, and one of the best meditations for doing this is the meditation supposedly prescribed to the Buddha to cheer him up, the Smiling Buddha Meditation for Happiness and Confidence. Remember to do this meditation with a smile and not allow negative thinking to bring you down.
So for this month, if you need to build your self confidence, go ahead and try the three techniques above. Remember though that it is not about having a big ego, but it is about having faith in yourself that you can achieve here in life all that which you were meant to do.
can any one plz tell me the duration for these three techniques?
It is good to know that there are some quality content on yoga in the web. I thought that yoga was meant only for fitness but this is the first time i am learning about using it to boost your confidence.
I like the idea of Buddha having a meditation to cheer him up – he must have used it a lot! If only more people would use meditation as a means of calming and increasing confidence in themselves, the world would be a much happier place
Yoga and meditation have been around for thousands of years and isn’t going anywhere. Just by doing a few yoga poses can increase flexibility of the mind and body–by stretching your body you can actually stretch your mind.
Excellent article! We all struggle with self-confidence, and yoga is a wonderful tool to help build and maintain confidence. I would like to try your confidence building practice!
Thank you!
