namaste or let the light within burn brightly
well, according to my inherent yoga talk translation or union of the supreme and nature, we are entering an age of kali, or one where oneness is more common.
I started doing yoga inherently as a child but only in certain situations. I remember one asana that I do, the peathingy. and I remember affecting my senses. I have momentary memories of pretending I was in samadhi, or the super duper state where everything is oneness. I remember those because there is nothing to remember (only at this level of understanding)
So...how did I pretend to enter oneness? Through pure behavior. My own belief system, a comfortable position, control of my breathing, awareness of the senses, concentration, meditation (whatever that is) and oneness. Those are the eight limbs of yoga in my understanding.
I have strayed away from my belief system, I cannot remember how I control my breath. Or I vaguely do. Meditation I am scared to do. This fear is one of the apparant obstacles of yoga.
Oh by the way, I read about yoga, or more precise, raja yoga just now...and it is pure me spirituality.
I did those asanas (comfortable positions) and my belly is in distress. It is like the feeling of wanting to throw oneself into a spiritual practice
This is not good
One should take a practice slowly, level by level.
The eight limbs of yoga is the oldest but not the beginning. The true beginnings of recorded yoga are in the sutras (threads) that were written about 5000 years ago.
So in praise of the lords name, sat nam.
