Christian Yoga?

It is an interesting article in the 5 September issue of time magazine.
This article refers to a range of opinions about the mixing of Christianity with yoga. Even if you agree with one opinion goes, it is a good read, as long as you remain objective.

In the course of time, I was lucky enough to learn, practice, or with someone from any known religious denomination; the Declaration a Professor Tiwari at the Hindu University of America, where he proposes to that, "Yoga is Hinduism," so amazing, a scholar. Possibly, this statement was taken out of context, but fundamentalism exists, with a degree in any form of religion.

When some Christians practice yoga to the God want to create a more accurate, it that each of us, to criticize it? Not Yoga is objective, the Union of itself with a supreme being? What's the big deal?

Truth, many fundamentalists are divided about Division-keep the masses, at war with each other and preferably in a "holy war". They fear the unity of humankind, let the power and peace in the world. They don't want to lose their grip on their trailer, so they squeeze a bit more.

So when a Christian group practice "son greetings" or "Praisemoves" tries, you give you pause. Yoga is practiced in a sectarian atmosphere by a variety of different religions. No one has a monopoly on yoga. Yoga is a complete health management system for body and mind.

It is a type of Yoga for all, and some people like a little more than other spiritual taste. Yoga has been for at least 5000 years, there are plenty to choose from.

As for the skeptics, the "finger" each other - "who is without sin among you let him cast the first stone..." It would be best if we all practice a bit more awareness and loving kindness, before we decide to criticize things we don't understand.

Yoga is "out of" the bag. It is no longer practiced by a particular group. Yoga is therefore a public treasure, and a genius, that we will restrict a bottle. It does not matter how many people try to patent, copyright, yoga, it will be exercised in each corner of the Earth.

Please, read the article in time magazine and enjoy it, but take time remain objective. Words to recognize for their motives and hidden agenda. In particular, you remain in good relations with your fellow human beings.

Confessions of a yoga teacher

The following are questions, the answer is still yoga teacher, despite overwhelming evidence that yoga is "the mother of all health systems maintenance". Standard thought, is finally start with Yoga makes progress, but it has to get this much 5,000 years for us.

Can seriously, such as yoga to lose weight?

Finally some research "Yoga and weight loss", and even, a bit of Yoga is much better than none, for weight control, but there are a number of reasons why. Yoga is a lifestyle change in the a safe diet; exercise, posture, breathing and a whole lot more customize. Most of the practitioners of yoga, I know, use more water, more moderate food and take more care of the body, compared to the many people who want to leave not the Bank.

You have to - and for at least half an hour per day, enough to lose weight exercise jump?

Maybe its the masses "Brain Waste" to think, that you feel the pain, suffering, hunger and have a near death experience, to lose weight. The average person, in a moderate Hatha Yoga class depends on the size, burning close to 200 calories per hour. There are vinyasa yoga classes that will burn more calories with much liquid and active movement. Remember that your safety is our top priority, and you order be.

There are also yoga classes, where you can feel the pain, heat, and suffering.

Dhyana Yoga (meditation) for soul awakening.

A human life is a priceless gift of God. The Lord does not have a greater gift than this to give his beloved creatures. Its specialties and potentials are so extraordinary that its results can only amaze us. This gift has been given to us to fulfill divine goals. But it is our ill-fate that we have forgotten our divine nature, God’s gift and the goal/ importance of a human life. Neither do we know our divine potential, nor the Lord’s goal, wisdom or meditation. We are straying far away in this dark, gloomy world. This forgetfulness is strange. People generally forget objects and also what they have read, heard etc. A person whom we had known in the past is now a stranger for us, since we have forgotten him. But it is rare to find a person who forgets himself. We think ourselves to be a body with name and form. We desire what our mind desires, we look upon the body’s needs as our own need. The body and mind are the 2 wheels of the chariot of our life. But we have totally forgotten that we are the soul and not the body. No doubt we hear time and again that the body is different from the soul. But it is very rare that someone actually experiences this fact. And even if we experience it, it is in a very hazy manner. If we understand true reality and the difference between the life-force and peripherals that manifests in our consciousness, we will give prime importance to soul well-being. We would give only that much importance to material objects as is required. Today we are walking with feet devoid of shoes and decorate our cars with frills of gold. We are dying of hunger and give clarified butter to vehicles. “We” means the soul and vehicle means body or mind. The Lord is serving his servants. It is indeed strange that he has forgotten his responsibility.

ATTAINING THE SOUL’S GOAL

The goal of life is to attain self-fulfillment. This self-fulfilled state can only be at the level of divinity. In order to attain God, the mind should get concentrated on him. Before constructing important buildings, their maps, plans and models are designed. An engineer, architect etc. will build buildings based on these models. An image of God with his qualities, activities and nature is carried out for the purpose of meditation. As a result one experiences nearness, oneness and a sense of merging of God. This is the true nature of meditation.

The goal of true meditation is to regain our lost memory regarding our real nature. If someone happens to regain it, it is definitely akin to a man coming out of a very scary dream. It is only then that one experiences a condition akin to a child being lost in a massive crowd or like that of a man who has lost the memory of his identity. Those undergoing such anguish, experience a great loss and they hurt their near and dear ones. Since we have lost our memory (that we are the mighty soul and not the body), our condition is as demeaning as a baby lion being brought up in a family of goats. As a result we are giving pain to our true nature, which is divinity.

The goal of Yoga of meditation is to overcome loss of memory i.e. to awaken to the fact that we are the soul and not the body. In that one remembers God and one experiences one’s soul nature. The memory of the union of a living being (Jiva) and God (Brahman) is re-activated and one experiences, that this very Divine Power contact was broken by us, is in reality our Divine Mother and Benefactor. Not only this but like the proverbial wish-fulfilling cow (Kamadhenu), it is so powerful that by drinking its nectarine milk, we attain divinity. By sitting in the shade of a wish-fulfilling tree (Kalpavriksha) one can attain anything. After contacting, coming close to that Divine Centre, one does not lack anything and thus we can overcome all types of poverty. Thus Yoga of Meditation helps us attain this goal.


CONCENTRATION

It is not something great to attain Divine Powers. It should be protected from any type of wastage and should never be misused. The benefits of attaining Divine Powers are encountered when they are gathered in a safe place and that they are utilized only for sacred tasks.

As a result of heat, a lot of water of the oceans gets converted to steam. So much steams rises into the atmosphere from cooking gas, fire etc. All this goes in waste. But in an engine, a little bit of water is converted to steam. This steam is not allowed to stray in the atmosphere and is in fact collected in a tank. Later its energy flow passes out of a small hole and reaches the piston. As a result of this small process, the engine of a train starts functioning. Not only does it move but it runs at a great speed. Its movement is so powerful that it tugs alongwith it many other compartments at a high speed.

If tons of gun powder are spread out on the ground and lit with a match-stick, it will show a little light for a flash of a moment and then get burnt to ashes. This is a total wastage and is of no use to us. But if it is enclosed in a small area of a gun and by pressing the trigger a little, sparks of fire touch the gunpowder, this infinitesimal gunpowder gives amazing results. The bullet runs at a mammoth speed to its target. Wherever it lands, it topples that object. One can thus clearly note the difference between just lighting up tons of gunpowder with a matchstick and on the other hand, lighting up a minute amount of gun powder in a gun.

The rays of sun light are scattered all over the earth. Daily the sun rises and then sets in the evening. This sunlight can give only a little heat and light to us. But if a few sunrays are concentrated on paper using a special lens, the paper starts burning. If it is thrown in a huge jungle, a forest fire ensues which destroys that entire area to ashes.

During Draupadi’s Swayamvar (choosing you own groom), the condition for getting married to her was that the prospective bridegroom should pierce the eye of a bird placed at a distance with an arrow. Dronacharya was helping his students to master this art. Before his students aimed an arrow, Dronacharya would ask them as to what they were seeing. On an average the students would say that are seeing a bird on the tree. As a result Dronacharya would declare that such students would never succeed. When it was Arjun’s turn, he answered that I can only see the bird’s eye and nothing else. Thus Dronacharya declared that Arjun would definitely succeed. Truly at the Swayamvara ceremony of Draupadi, Arjun pierced the eye of the bird with one single arrow and thus got married to Draupadi.

It is said that a flying creature called a buzzing bee catches hold of a caterpillar and continues to buzz in front of it. As a result of continuously hearing the buzz of the bee and visualizing the bee’s form, the mental state of the caterpillar becomes that of a bee. The caterpillar starts thinking itself to be a buzzing bee. As a result the body of the caterpillar takes the shape of a buzzing bee instead of a grown up butterfly. Zoologists may doubt this but it is a definite fact that whenever man concentrates/ focuses his mind on a particular name and form, his mind too takes up the name, form and characteristics of that object. As a result of focusing her mind on beauty and youth, a prostitute regains her beauty to a great extent at an advanced age too. On the other hand, many young men and women look aged because their minds are all the time thinking of hardships and dire circumstances. All this is a result of focusing one’s mind on a particular good/ bad thought. This could be intentional or unintentional.

Spiritual concentration means to stop the mind from straying away from its center and that after focusing one’s Divine Powers at one central focal point, one should utilize the same for sacred endeavors only. This is called control of mind or focusing of the psyche in spiritual texts. A lot of discussion takes place regarding Yoga of Meditation. It should be surmised as an art of concentrating one’s mind. When we hear about it, its success seems mediocre but in reality, it is a great achievement. When one masters this art, man by focusing his scattered conscious energy in one place, utilizes it for some sacred purpose and thus attains amazing success.

Water is filled in dams. But when it is ejected from a small opening, a stream of it flows at break neck speed because of water pressure generated by the dam. This flow has extraordinary energy. Its influence aids the movement of wheels of many machines and as a result these machines start moving. The construction of huge electric powerhouses takes place near gigantic dams. It is very expensive to generate electricity using engines and machines but hydroelectricity is cheaply operated near dams. Near smaller waterfalls, you have water mills. The resultant energy is not due to the stream of water but it is due to its concentration. By focusing a widespread area in a smaller area, you generate power.

The aim of Yoga of Meditation is to concentrate mental thought scattering in one small area of thought. The more an individual succeeds in concentrating his mind, the more his psyche will radiate with power. Like an arrow of word, it is easy for him to attain his goal. If spirituality is his aim, he will advance spiritually and his psyche will radiate with Ridhi-Sidhi or what are called Divine Powers. If the aim is material progress, we will attain this goal too. In whichever appropriate direction this energy is used, it will reap good dividends.

Concentration/ focusing means overcoming the wasteful scattering of the thought waves of our mind. By obstructing the water flow of a small stream, a dam is created and thus a small pond, lake is created. Then artificial streams are created from this lake which give water to far off arid regions. If this stream were not converted into a dam, it would have lashed at the shores and caused wasteful flooding in surrounding regions. This would lead to material destruction in that region. One should not look upon the thought flow in our mind as less important when compared to a hydroelectricity generator. The power of an electricity powerhouse is limited and can transmit electricity to a very limited region in its vicinity. But this cannot be said about the mind. Its potential of today can be augmented infinite fold in the future. Its area of influence which is today limited to the family and friends will in future encompass the entire world.

Generally people of great authority like scientists, philosophers, artists, scholars, sculptors, authors, managers, leaders etc are like ordinary laymen. Their body is very ordinary and their minds lack a magical wand. Whatever difference one perceives in them alongwith the miracle of their greatness, is a result of their inner special qualities which in turn are related to the focusing capacity of their mind and their steadfastness in reaching the desired goal. Everybody possesses infinite amount of intellectual energy. To the extent that weak brained individuals too have a lot of radiance. The difference only is this that some have activated this radiance and the rest have not done so. Even a very wise person is like a dead corpse when he is in deep sleep. But on waking up, he manifests his intellectual brilliance. This holds true for the brain too. Due to certain circumstances, the intellectual powers of some people remains latent and thus look weak intellectually. But if their intellect is activated with effort, not only will they be as brilliant as other wise people but sometimes they will march ahead of them too.

Everyone knows that many threads unite together to form a strong rope and many broomsticks join together to form a broom. Many drops of water constitute a jugful of water. This example is given to accept the fact that by obstructing the wayward scattering of the intellect, one can focus/ concentrate one’s thought waves at a focal point. One can easily understand that wayward scattering of thoughts in various directions diminishes our mental prowess and that if these thoughts are concentrated at one single point, it will give us miraculous mental strength.

By advancing mental concentration, great scientists, Yogis, philosophers etc. enter the deep ocean called the mind and thus collect priceless jewels. Those who just float on the surface of the sea, attain nothing but those who dive deep into it, attain priceless materials. Superficial thinking is like a wayward blade of grass moving aimlessly here and there. On the other hand focusing one’s thought waves at a single point in the psyche via meditation gives miraculous results.

Basics of yoga, part 1: Yama and Niyama

Requirements for yoga

"Knowledge (jnana) comes not from the practice of Yoga methods only." Perfection in knowledge is in fact only for those with the practice of virtue (Dharma). Still, without yoga as a means of knowledge is not over. The practice of Yoga methods is not the money itself, but it's just that the practice of Yoga that perfection in knowledge. And is told by the teacher: "Yoga for the application of the knowledge of the truth" "ADI Shankara wrote."

All things rest on something else-that is, all things are supported by another. This is because it is a necessary basis for anything to exist. Is the ultimate support of all things, God is only free of this need. Yoga, then, requires support. Commentary on the Yoga Sutras as Trevor Leggett in his introduction to ADI Shankara says: "that is presented for the man in the world, which must be first clear, yoga and then stable, passions and his life are free from complications very against the anger of the illusion." Patanjali of very carefully and completely the elements of the support of the candidate, give valuable information about the success in the Yoga to ensure.

The first Yoga Sutra says: "now the exhibition of yoga," implies that there must be something before the Yoga in the form of necessary developments of consciousness and personality. These terms and conditions are considered the pillars of yoga can, and are known as the Yama and Niyama.

Yama and Niyama

Yama and Niyama are often referred to "the ten commandments of Yoga". Each of these five prohibitions (Yama) and five do's (Niyama) is a mainstay of yoga, releasing. Yama means self-control in the sense of self-control or abstention, and consists of five elements. Niyama commemorate means, of which there are five. Hier ist die Liste dieser Zehn Saeulen in den Yoga-Sutras niedergelegten 2: 30, 32: 1) ahimsa: non-violence, non-infringement, safety 2) Satya: truthfulness, honesty 3) asteya: don't steal not Misappropriativeness, honesty, 4) Brahmacharya: sexual abstinence in thought, Word and Tatund control over all 5 senses) Aparigraha: nicht-Besitzgier, nicht-nicht-Habsucht, Egoismus, nicht-Habgier 6) Shaucha: Purity, cleanliness Santosha: satisfaction 7), rest 8) tapas: austerity, practical (i.e. result produce) mental discipline 9) Swadhyaya: introspective self-study, spiritual study 10) Ishwarapranidhana: the life offers all these God which deal with the innate powers man or better with the abstinence and compliance that will develop and that powers late on our spiritual perfection, our self-realization and liberation.

These ten restrictions (Yama) and observances (Niyama) are aspiring Yogi or Yogi for the most advanced not to, optionally either. ADI Shankara is very powerful, that "next Yama and Niyama the initial qualification for yoga practice." Only wish and pursuit of the objective of Yoga is not enough, so he goes on: "the qualification is not only, who wants a practice of yoga, the Holy text says:" but he, which first has gone from his wickedness, which is not peaceful and zurückhaltendoder whose spirit not at rest, he can never get by know. "(Katha Upanishad 1.2.24) and in the Atharva text: ' it is tapas [strong discipline] and Brahmacharya [chastity] in this, the truth is set up." (Questioning Upanishad 1: 15)And in the Gita: 'steadfast in their vows of Brahmacharya.' (Bhagavad Gita 6: 14) As Yama and Niyama are methods of Yoga "on themselves and not mere accessories or AIDS which may be optional."

But at the same time that practice of Yoga helps the aspiring Yogi to following the Yama and Niyama necessary due, so that he should not take Yoga now think that it must wait until he is "ready" or "adjusted his act" yoga practice. No. He must resolutely at the same time on Yama, Niyama, and yoga. Success will be.

Basics of yoga, part 2: Ahimsa (harmlessness)

Ahimsa: non-violence, non-infringement, safety

In his commentary on the Yoga Sutras, Vyasa [Vyasa was one of the most wise of India, author of the Mahabharata including the Bhagavad Gita), Brahma sutras and the Codifier of the Vedas.] begins his exposition of ahimsa: "ahimsa means in any case and at any time for any living creature damage." ADI Shankara expanded, say that, that ahimsa "in any capacity and no way to each as damage." This would include violation of Word or thought that, if the obvious violation of the Act further says perpetrated for ADI Shankara: "ahimsa is in each capacity body, speech and mind are practiced." We believe that this principle of Jesus in his or her claim is set out that anger aimed, someone is a form of murder (Matthew 5: 21 and 22), and the lover of younger statement that hatred is also murder.(I John 3: 15)

Even a simple understanding of the law of karma, the law of sowing and reaping (Galatians 6: 7), allows it we realize the terrible consequences of murder for the killer. Vyasa said: "The killer robbed the victims of the spirit, hurts him with a blow from a weapon and rips it way of life." Because he is an another spirit robbed has the support of his own life, animated or inanimate, weakened. Because it has caused the pain, he experiences pain itself.... "Because he has torn a life apart, he enters a life to life in which at any time will he die because the retaliation as pain right, should update itself while he is panting for death."

Ahimsa is interpreted in many ways - that is because Sanskrit is rich to expect a language that is in many possible meanings of a single word. But basically ahimsa is damage caused not by a creature, including inhuman species. (Ahimsa is generally not on plants and a violation of ahimsa would be minerals life, but certainly wanton destruction of life, partly, because it eventually, that also adversely to which animals would.) This ideal it is obvious that violence, injuries or deaths are unthinkable for the Yogi. And like Vyasa immediately that has all other abstentions and memory Yama and Niyama are really rooted in ahimsa, for they imply prevent harm ourselves and others by negative act or neglect of the positive measures.

"The other Yamasa and niyamas are rooted in this, and they are only to its peak, only for that perfect [i.e. ahimsa] practiced." You are only as a tool teaches to get this in its purity. So that it read: ' what many vows the man of Brahman [God] commit, just because he therefore to do casually evil defaults through deception, he brings from ahimsa in its purity. "" And ADI Shankara explains that Vyasa refers to the delusion that is"rooted in violence and caused violence."

Damage in Act, speech or thoughts contains strict abstinence from any form of ahimsa. Violence, including verbal and physical, should be avoided. And this includes any kind of angry or deliberate damage or abuse of physical objects.

Ahimsa is a State of mind of these non - damage is of course go. "Ahimsa is really a stance and the kind of attitude towards all living beings on the basis of recognition of the underlying unity of life," the modern commentator Taimni explains. ADI Shankara comments, ahimsa and the others are observed "the cause of an injury does." The ego itself is "innocent" in a State of the not function. And meditation perfectly solves that. However, to this State Interior, we work backwards from the outside, inside and refrain from all acts of violation.

In reality we live no moment in this world without countless people injured. Many small organisms, and each step kills our simple act of breathing, we take that does. To maintain the health of the body constantly against harmful bacteria wars, bacteria and viruses. So ahimsa can be observed in the last sentence of the State only perfectly mentally. However, we are obliged to do as little damage as possible in our external life. In his autobiography relates his Paramhansa Yogananda, guru Swami Sri Yukteswar Giri, said that ahimsa absence of desire to harm.

Although it has many branches, the aspiring Yogi has to realize that the observance of ahimsa is to include strict abstinence from animal eating of meat in a form or degree.

Although the subject of strange is missing every comment I have read on the Yoga Sutras, the practice is the not damage relative to the Yogi of crucial importance. That is, the Yogi nothing in thought, Word or deed that harms his body, mind or spirit. This requires a great many Abstensions, in particular abstaining from meat (including fish and eggs), alcohol, nicotine and mind or mood change substances including caffeine. On the other hand requires that the taking of body, mind and soul, benefits for their negligence is also a form of self - injury, the not respect of one of the Yama or niyamas. It is not an easy thing like a Yogi.

Discover the healing power yoga

There are several medical conditions that can be improved by practicing yoga. It can be used to the negative impact of infertility, lung disease, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, insomnia, cancer, reduce high blood pressure and pain in the joints. The positive effects of yoga practice are recognized not only by the community of yoga, but also by the doctors.

One of the most important elements that lead to a disease is stress. Who is responsible for a large number of diseases, can this element, which we in our minds emerge, be reduced by a good use of Yoga techniques. Here are just a few on the problems, that is one of active response stress: depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, some types of diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease, various autoimmune diseases, irritable bowel syndrome, colitis, reproductive problems, and a severe suppression of the immune system.

The response of the sympathetic nervous system can cause, stress in the metabolism. The response to various external stimuli is also known as the "fight or flight" reaction the mind and body, given an element endanger or disturb, prepare for one of the two options. Physically, this is manifested by an increase in the current heart rate, together with a high increase in blood pressure. Shallow breathing receives and the muscles tense in anticipation of the next action. Internally, this reaction reduces blood flow internal organs and processes that that period of time (such as digestion and elimination are) are not necessary to shut down. This state of consciousness and the willingness is in preparing our body on the interventions and external stimuli responsive in the short term advantage. A "fight" both in a situation of "Flight", the body is physically and mentally prepared to act. The problem arises when long-term exposure to similar stress takes place. This reaction is designed to help "Fight or flight" within short periods - the longer it is activated, the fewer resources have normal to the body.

It is a natural countermeasure for the "Fight or flight"-answer. Is called the parasympathetic nervous system or the "relaxation response." It is automatically enabled when the elements, the pressure caused disappeared, but the impact it is also possible to breathe deeply reduce and relax your muscles. We that our body faster, eliminate the harmful effects of stress on fast and efficient way restore which allow for the duration of this process.

Yoga is the idea that you can limit the harmful effects of stress factors through breathing and techniques to your body. A reduced "Fight or flight" reaction can be achieved also by view of negative factors as challenges instead of threats. This approach provides your mind on the search for a solution, rather than to focus an abrupt answer. Another concept in the service of this technique is that compared to respond, with initiative compared to respond to act on external factors.

The benefits of Yoga during a healing process are undeniable. However, these techniques can be used only as a form of support and healing should rely not only on them. Achieved the best results a problem of the two are due to the combination of Yoga with traditional and modern medicine and approach a mental and physical point of view.
