Breathing and Consciousness

 

 

By practicing yoga you’ll achieve all sorts of powers. Its just the natural progression of consciousness. Somehow you must be trained or train yourself not to be tempted by the powers, not to be tempted by the ego. Self-policing is the hardest thing to do, almost impossible. Therefore, we do as a group together. We act as checks and balances to each other. We see the light reflected in each other. When that light is distorted by ego its our duty and joy to call that distortion to the attention to the person. There’s no one who is greater than another. We’re the same breath the same light.

Members - Balance, Harmony, Compassion

 

 

The least you’ll get from yoga is a healthy body. One that works properly, for you, and that’s just step one. Teaching your mind to be balanced and sub-servient to you, your soul. This is step two. Quieting the mind, listening to your breath, and finding the deeper sounds within, step three. Step four is unifying all of your whole being in pursue of the radiance within you.

The Level of Perfection is the Level of Balance

 

 

It’s the little subtleties in life that affect us. They are cumulative, they add up. By working with the movements and the breath you change those subtleties back. You make this form again whole. You stretch all the different acupuncture points, the meridians, you bring them back aligned. This is how it works. Otherwise the subtleties of consciousness, the subtleties of holding yourself, a little cut you might get on your finger, even those small things affect the meridians and how the body gathers and collects the energy of life itself.

Members - The Journey Back to the Moment of Your Own Creation

 

 

So this is the journey we take in consciousness. It’s always the same journey for everyone, back to the moment of your own creation. The idea is in mediation you quiet your mind, and you find that essence, the part of yourself that existed before you were born, that existed as a state of consciousness. It’s like that Zen Koan, what was your face before you were born. The idea that you have part of you, the essence of you, the inner light, that is internal, that has always been here, that’s always been conscious. Making that connection with that inner light, the consciousness that you really are is what yoga is all about.

Members - Giving Yourself the Blessing of a Spiritual Path

 

 

Real basic simple exercises are all you need. You can make yoga as complicated you as you wish, so many possible asanas and postures and thousands of kriyas. But in reality you need to establish a few that work for your body and do those regularly. Tune in to your body and do them when you need to do them, when you feel your body becoming out of tune with your spiritual self. When you make that connection with your inner lite it’s relatively easy to always go back to it, as long as you have that practice that you continually do.

Members - Love, The Selfless Feeling Within Ourselves

 

 

Try to catch yourself in the moments of everyday life and just for those few seconds bring yourself to the infinite horizon. This is the essence of a spiritual journey, where each breath each movement each sound each moment of your consciousness is walking on that infinite cliff where on both sides of that knifes edge is infinitely up or down and you walk that path, every second that’s always there. But we get caught up in the everyday consciousness. But sometimes just try to catch it and you’ll be amazed that’s its always there with your breath. God is that close.
