YOG- THE CONNECT TO LIVING"

THE CONNECTION OF THE MACROCOSM WITH THE MICROCOSM

"योगस चित्त वृत्ति निरोध:"

THE REGULATION OF THE INNER SELF TO HARMONY.

YOG as it is meant to be spoken instead of YOGA, is an ancient Indian tradition of life ,dating back to around more than 8000B.C and documented well around 2000B.C. By Maharishi Patanjali.

It is described as eight steps (Asthang Yog ) or eight Limbs as Yam , Niyam , Asana , Pranayam , Pratyahaar , Dharna ,Dhayan and Samadhi unlike the most popular western belief of only "asanas" or body posturing for fitness .

It deals with the daily regulations of bodily functions (Yam), the mental observances( niyama) , the bodily flexibility and resilience and equilibrium(Asana), the regulation of breathe(pranayama) , the internalization of senses(pratyahaar), the fixation of mind on abstract idea or object( Dharna) ,the meditation or intensification of focus(Dhayan) and escape of senses and intellect to the feeling of non self and non existent self (Samadhi).

Thus climbing through the ladder of realization of physical existence to the subtle existence.

The process helps us to shift to the higher quantum of existence and experiences and hence the perception about the life and self. we start identifying ourselves with the higher purposes and potentials.(the inner upgradation) and feeling of self worth. when we identify ourselves with the worldly things and possessions we are always in fear of loosing them and feeling of parish ,if they are gone. On the contrary on the higher quantum of thinking you are aware of the temporary nature of everything and so you are not worried if they are gone, something else will come up and you have the potential to create something better. the subtle energies of nature continue to manifest and unmanliest and hence the process of formation and destructions are as continuous as the blooming and weathering of flowers. Every thing that has physical existence has a subtle form as well and it continues to shift from one to another form along with the time.

the process of enriching our senses and perceptions through the higher intelligence is the attribute and purpose of human life and not simply the struggle for existence.

yog is a journey of realizing that subtle form existing in this manifest body , when we uplift /escalate, from our understanding of being only this body and identify with the subtler forms that our access to the higher intelligence or consciousness is established and we start receiving the newer concepts and capabilities.

there are many success stories of people who were on verge of loosing everything ,developed a intense desire to think something different and they gave great concepts and inventions to the world.
