YOGA

YOGA IS THE SCIENCE OF THE UNION WITH THE DIVINE, WITH TRUTH; TANTRA IS THE MOST DIRECT METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE ENERGY THAT CREATES THE ULTIMATE UNION WITH TRUTH. THE PURPOSE OF EACH PRACTICE IS TO HELP THE INDIVIDUAL ACHIEVE LONGEVITY, REJUVENATION AND SELF-REALIZATION. THE OBJECT OF THE PRACTICE OF YOGA AND TANTRA IS LIBERATION, ALTHOUGH ONLY CERTAIN DISCIPLINED INDIVIDUALS ARE ABLE TO ACHIEVE THE ULTIMATE GOALS THROUGH THESE PRACTICES. YOGA IS THE SCIENCE OF SPIRIT. THE PRACTICE OF YOGA IS AN IMPORTANT, NATURAL, PREVENTIVE MEASURE TO ENSURE GOOD HEALTH.

THE FATHER OF YOGA, PATANJALI, DESCRIBED EIGHT AREAS OF YOGA AND YOGIC PRACTICES AS FOLLOWS; THE NATURAL REGULATION OF THE NERVOUS SYSTEM; DISCIPLINE; CLEANSING; POSTURES; CONCENTRATION; THE AWAKENING OF AWARENESS; AND STATE OF PERFECT EQUILIBRIUM. YOGIC EXERCISES HAVE BOTH PREVENTIVE AND CURATIVE VALUE. THEY BRING MAN TO THE NATURAL STATE OF TRANQUILITY, WHICH IS EQUILIBRIUM. YOGIC PRACTICES HELP TO BRING NATURAL ORDER AND BALANCE TO THE NEUROHORMONES AND THE METABOLISM AND IMPROVE THE ENDOCRINE SYSTEM AND THUS FORTIFY ONE AGAINST STRESS. YOGIC PRACTICES FOR THE TREATMENT OF STRESS AND STRESS-RELATED DISORDERS (SUCH AS HYPERTENSION, DIABITIES, ASTHMA AND OBESITY) ARE REMARKABLY EFFECTIVE.

YOGA IS COMMON TO BOTH CULTURAL TRADITIONS AND FORMS THEIR SPIRITUAL ESSENCE. YOGA MUST NOT BE REDUCED TO A MERE SYSTEM OF PHYSICAL EXERCISES BUT CLEARLY OFFERS MANY SPIRITUAL METHODS AND APPROACHES, ESPECIALLY MEDITATION. IT MAKES NO SENSE TO SAY, AS OFTEN HEARD, THAT YOGA HAS NO MEDITATION PRACTICE AND THAT THEREFORE ONE MUST RESORT TO BUDDHIST MEDITATION. YOGA HAS A WIDE VARIETY OF MEDITATION TECHNIQUES, WHICH INCLUDE BUDDHIST, HINDU, AND JAINA MEDITATION PRACTICES.

 
MEDITATION

CONSIDERED A PREREQUISITE FOR SPIRITUAL HEALTH, MEDITATION FORMS PART AND PARCEL OF YOGIC PRACTICE. IT IS KNOWN TO BRING AWARENESS, HARMONY AND NATURAL ORDER TO LIFE. IT AWAKENS THE INTELLIGENCE TO MAKE LIFE HAPPY, PEACEFUL AND CREATIVE INTELLIGENCE IS THE BENEDICTION OF MEDITATION.

MEDITATION RESULTS IN INCREASED RELAXATION, UNLOCKING THE STORE HOUSE OF ENERGY WITHIN THE BODY. MEDITATION CAN BE INCORPORATED INTO ANY FORM OF MIND TRAINING THAT CALMS THE BODY, INCREASES AWARENESS AND CREATES GREATER FOCUS FOR ANY ACTION THAT IS SINCERE, PURE AND HEARTFELT.

BENEFITS OF MEDITATION INCLUDE A GREATER SENSE OF RELAXATION IN BOTH MIND AND BODY, GREATER FLEXIBILITY OF THINKING, AN ABILITY TO MEET SITUATIONS WITH FRESHNESS AND INSIGHT. FROM THE STANDPOINT OF PURE PHYSICAL EXPRESSION, IT CAN HELP LOOSEN THE KNOTS AND TENSIONS TRAPPED IN THE BODY DISTURBING EMOTIONS. IT CAN HELP TO CHANGE BOTH FACIAL EXPRESSION AND BODY POSTURE, THEREBY SOFTENING AND STRENGTHENING AT THE SAME TIME. THESE ARE SOME OF THE POSSIBLE RESULTS, BUT THEY ARE NOT THE GOALS. MEDITATION HELPS STRENGTHEN THE POSITIVE QUALITIES OF COMPASSION, PATIENCE AND WISDOM AND FREES US OF CONFLICTING EMOTIONS AND ERRONEOUS BELIEFS.

THERE ARE MANY FORMS OF MEDITATIONS SILENT SITTING, CHANTING, PRAYING, AND WALKING MEDITATION, MEDITATION THAT USES VISUALIZATION OR FOCUS ON OBJECTS. MEDITATION CAN BE FOUND IN ALMOST EVERY TRADITION IN THE WORLD IF ONE WERE TO LOOK INTO THEIR MORE CONTEMPLATIVE PRACTICES.

SAMADHI IS THE STATE OF HIGHEST EQUILIBRIUM DURING MEDITATION, WHEN THE INDIVIDUAL CONSCIOUSNESS MERGES INTO THE COSMIC CONSCIOUSNESS. ALL LIMITATIONS VANISH, THE INDIVIDUAL CONSCIOUSNESS EMPTIES ITSELF AND IN THAT EMPTYING PROCESS, CONSCIOUSNESS EXPANDS. LIFE CHANGES AND DAILY LIVING BECOMES A NEW AND FRESH EXPERIENCE. LIFE ITSELF BECOMES MEDITATION, FOR MEDITATION IT IS NOT SEPARATE FROM LIFE BUT A PART OF LIFE. CREATIVE INTELLIGENCE BEGINS TO OPERATE IN THE BODY, MIND AND CONSCIOUSNESS AND ALL PROBLEMS DISSOLVE IN THIS NEW EXPANDED AWARENESS HOWEVER, ONE SHOULD REMEMBER THAT ALL THE BENEFICIAL RESULTS OF COMMITTED AND REGULAR PRACTICE.

INSIDE EVERY HUMAN BEING THERE IS A NETWORK OF NERVES AND SENSORY ORGANS THAT INTERPRETS THE OUTSIDE PHYSICAL WORLD. AT THE SAME TIME, WITHIN US RESIDES A SUBTLE SYSTEM OF CHANNELS (NADIS) AND CENTERS OF ENERGY (CHAKRAS) WHICH LOOK AFTER OUR PHYSICAL, INTELLECTUAL, EMOTIONAL AND SPIRITUAL BEING.

EACH OF THE SEVEN CHAKRAS HAS SEVERAL SPIRITUAL QUALITIES. THESE QUALITIES ARE INTACT WITHIN US, AND EVEN THOUGH THEY MIGHT NOT ALWAYS BE MANIFEST, THEY CAN NEVER BE DESTROYED. WHEN THE KUNDALINI IS AWAKENED, THESE QUALITIES START MANIFESTING SPONTANEOUSLY AND EXPRESS THEMSELVES IN OUR LIFE. THUS, THROUGH REGULAR MEDITATION, WE BECOME AUTOMATICALLY VERY DYNAMIC, CREATIVE, CONFIDENT AND AT THE SAME TIME VERY HUMBLE, LOVING AND COMPASSIONATE. IT IS A PROCESS WHICH STARTS TO DEVELOP BY ITSELF WHEN THE KUNDALINI RISES AND STARTS TO NOURISH OUR CHAKRAS.

BY YOGA & MEDITATION ONE CAN ACHIEVE THE ETERNITY, THE TRUTH, THE TRUE FEELING OF ONESELF.
