The 'real' Yoga

From the ET,

There is nothing to achieve by practicing Yoga. You will be shocked to hear this. Many people have told you that Yoga will cure you of asthma, it will cure you of chronic pain, it will cure you of high blood pressure and so on. Perhaps it does; but not because of what you practice, but because you believe.....

It is the process of Yoga, the practice of Yoga that unites the mind-body-spirit system. What unites is not the exercises that you perform. This again will shock you. It is the intention. You create a memory in your muscles and that gets embedded....

Just by sitting comfortably in any position with your spine erect to allow energy flow you can derive the result of any asana through intention and visualisation. This is the truth. However, this is too simple for you to believe. You need something more tangible, more strenuous to prove to yourself that Yoga works....

“Believe is everything” The moment, we detach ourselves from belief about anything that’s done. The moment we believe that we are not alive we are ‘Dead’…. Yes, just by sitting comfortably in any position with our spine erect to allow energy flow we can derive the result…. But “Effort is needed to gather and transform energy… and above all Guiding (Transmitting) the energy to flow through our spine is an Art”…For some it takes many lives to understand and master this art to align mind-body-soul and let the energy flow through spine ….And once that’s done all suffering from pain, asthma, bp etc etc is over…. This is the truth… Truth is omnipresent… However, this is not too simple to believe….!!
