In his article, Simmons, a yoga practitioner, compared reaching higher consciousness by taking acid and through practicing yoga. A 1965 article by Bob Simmons in The San Francisco Oracle suggested that the practice of yoga and the use of hallucinogenic substances have ‘different means, same end’. Yoga and psychedelics were often viewed as going hand-in-hand, since they aim to produce the same effects for mental health and spiritual growth. Yoga is more than physical strength and flexibility it is the spiritual development of the mind and body to unfold the higher consciousness. While wellness influencers on various social media platforms have cultivated physical benefits of yoga for a long time, the real meaning behind the practice is often overlooked. Yoga studios and meditation are far more popular as a part of daily life in Northern America than in India. For modern Americans, yoga became a lifestyle rather than spiritual practice. The beauty of yoga is its versatility, that it can be practiced almost anywhere by anyone.
Yoga, an ancient practice of mental clarity and meditation, has become increasingly popular for many people wanting to calm down their busy lives and distressed minds.
