Members - 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.

Gathering and Preserving Prana

 

 

As we focus the mind on the single intention of gathering energy and silencing the mind we allow ourselves the ability to transcend unconsciousness. Full of prana to sustain us we are able to go beyond the limitations of the mind and body. This is where real meditation starts.

We can sit and chant for hours, but unless we have the strength and willpower to practice yoga online and maintain the conscious state of being we all slip back into the dream state. Keep Up.

Think of this body as a conduit and receptacle for energy, life force. Most people live in their first three centers. Most people’s energy gets lost, leaks out through survival (living in this material world), through the sexual impulses (the most common one in this country), and through power (manipulating this world). The idea is you practice yoga seal off those lower centers. You eliminate those leaks of consciousness. You take that same energy and you transmute it. You transmute the base energy into spiritual, compassionate heart energy. It’s the same energy. Everything is the same. It’s the same currency we all use.

You take that base energy and you seal off the leaks, otherwise it just leaks out. It’s the same life pranic force. One of the ways of doing it is mulbandh, by pulling the root lock, pulling the sphincter muscle tight, diaphragm in, and physically sealing off the energy. Physically is just part of it, but you visually have to go within and feel the lower triangle as being sealed off. The energy is bouncing off the muladhara, starting that pathway the double helix back upwards. In the center of that swirling energy you are sitting and the white light is beckoning you. You start that elevator ride back up through the evolutionary chain, through all the possible dimensions, through all the different portals of consciousness, back to the white light. That’s what we do. We're here to create kundalini awakening.

Inhale. Stretch up. Pull the root lock. Put a pressure at the diaphragm. Pull the energy upward. Create this archetype form of consciousness where the energy is swirling upwards now. Exhale.

All the beauty, all the love, all the possible permutations are within your own self. All the personalities, all the incarnations are within your DNA cycle. We share that DNA. We share that double helix. That pattern, that template of consciousness, is the same template that you use in this spiritual journey. You place yourself in the center of that, as you have always been. You use that to elevate yourself out of this gravity well that we all live in, where light itself can escape. The idea that we are beings of light trapped in this body, trapped in this form, trapped in this gravity well, this singularity of consciousness. The way out is to become weightless. The way out is to seal off the energy and float upwards in the central channel of consciousness. So you have to become very small, as well as very large.

Strengthening the lower centers. Relax your breath, long and deep. Don’t let your mind wander. Stay present to this yoga training. Be aware of your breath. This will be your test in life of course, to always bring yourself back to the breath. You’ll learn that in this class if nothing else. In times of most stress, the times of the most problems in your life, the times when time itself becomes the darkest. Watch the full-length yoga class. That’s the time you come back to your breath and you remember who you really are. You remember that you are the light of this consciousness. This play of light and energy is you. That’s what it is, a play.

Members - 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 - 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.

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.

When you start the spiritual journey you embark upon that path has no ending and its destination constantly recedes from you as you closer to it. The landmarks on which you need to take on this journey change according to the person. There are no set rules. Basic ideas, consciousness of humility, service and love. Those are the basic requirements of this journey.
