Fundamentals of Yoga: Yama, Niyama, part 1
We send needs Yoga br / strong / p "Knowledge (jnana) from the practice of Yoga methods alone come." Perfection in knowledge is really only for those who start exercise of virtue (dharma). But without i yoga as a means of knowledge is not. /. I the practice of Yoga is not the method itself, but it is only by this practice of yoga the perfection of knowledge is created. And it is the teacher says: "Yoga is that the knowledge of the truth", Shankara wrote./p all remaining on anything, is supporting everything from another. This is because, a fund is necessary for something to exist. Free ultimate support which is the epitome of all that God alone from this need. Yoga, you will also need support. When Trevor Leggett, says in his introduction to Shankara comment is the Yoga Sutras: "this is Yoga front man in the world, this must be his life complications first clear, then steadily, his mind against the rage of illusory passions and freedom." "Patanjali carefully and thoroughly view elements of support the applicant needed, give valuable information about achieving success in yoga."/p the first Yoga Sutra says: "now i /i exhibition of Yoga", what meant something in preparation for yoga in the form of necessary evolution of consciousness and personality are. This condition can be seen the corner points of yoga as and Yama, Niyama is known as./p Yama and Niyama b /b / p Yama and Niyama are often called "The ten commandments of yoga." Each of these five don't should (Yama) do's and one is supporting, liberating pillars Yoga five (Niyama). Yama means restraint in self-esteem or Misserfollow and consists of five parts. Niyama means memory there five./p This ten constraints (Yama) and storage (Niyama) is not mandatory for aspiring Yogis and the most modern either Yogi. Shankara says explicitly that "Yama and Niyama, the basic skills are up to yoga." Mere desire and commitment to the goal of Yoga is not enough, he continues: "the brain is not only that you like Yoga", the sacred text says: "but he has not only of his evil, quiet and subdued or whose spirit at rest is turned on, it can never even through knowledge." (Katha Upanishad 1924.01.02) and the Atharva text: "It is in these tapas [strong discipline] and Brahmacharya [chastity] found the truth." (Prashnig Upanishad 1: 15) and in the Gita: "Brahm company in their promise,""acharya." (Bhagavad-Gita 6: 14) So Yama and Niyama are methods of Yoga "in itself and not just tags or optional tools can."/p while the practice of Yoga helps follow aspiring Yogis necessary precondition Yama, Niyama, so he hindered access to yoga now and thought he should wait until he "ready their action scavenged"or""to back to yoga."" No, he must first resolve Yama, Niyama and yoga together. Success./p b next: / b Rügen yoga, part 2: ahimsa (safe) /p

Yes, no, Yes, no - that yamas & Niyama

Yes, no, Yes, no - that yamas & Niyama
br p yamas & Niyama are the first two sections / branch offices of the eight limbs or body / tree Ashtanga Yoga (eight = Ashtar, limbs = information). He considered basis for the remaining six parts, this "external" branches of the Ashtanga system, attitudes and actions, as we can to make peace. A total of ten minutes ago five the number ~ yamas or don't, and Niyama or five "do 's" ~ suggest a resonant cord for many people who come to them, first with the Christian ten commandments. There is one important difference: the focus of the yamas & Niyama not so much about what we suffer if we disagree, but we get most of what with them if we exercise they choose. In other words, they are not so many "commandments", that its recommendations, invitations or just sensible advice from our friends here in yoga line./p yamas & Niyama's are at least initially on ~ ~ to work as a way, a method, a direction of development. If we have practiced for a while and spiritual perfection to reach (i.e., crossed the remaining six elements of Ashtanga Yoga), manifest the yamas and niyamas special siddhis / fruits bear... Nirvana, Brahma unity consciousness brings us on "yes" and "No" from the road and in the non-dual area yesno aka. You are what is called Paramitas (non dual perfection) in Buddhism. While so first yamas & Niyama's like the proverbial finger on the moon are (a tool to our vision Guide), separated in their nature and the closing ceremony of the finger / Mon./p is i /i the first the yamas ahimsa or non-violence. It is the practice of inflicting harm,and reveals goodwill as natural quality of the heart. When we the quality of non-violence perfectly, hears hostility in our present: even the worst of the animals in this session ~ perfect thrill inflict harm ~ become self-harm. Completion of Yama ahimsa i /i is Niyama i Saucha /i or purity, which already includes physical cleanliness ~ ~ refers primarily to a purity of heart. I want to harm in any way from others (the practice of ahimsa i refrain from / i), we have a sweet and innocent, to develop a sign for a pure heart and inner peace. Awareness is different than other (behind all acts of violence) is at this stage transformed into realization of the intrinsic device... admitted to absolute inner purity rise recommended by Niyama of purity./p the yamas i is the second Satya /i or truthfulness. This is the practice of security in our language: speaking in a way that is both true and good. This requires that we between fact and truth to distinguish: the truth (masters tell us) is always good (keeping in mind of the specific context) a fact-finding can (to a certain extent) positive or harmful. When confronted with a situation where you could enough warm for evil is much too quiet as recommended. Perfection i Satya /i spiritual strength to such an extent developed that only one word is binding for objective events: there to explain a thing so they really are. In addition to the Satya Yama Niyama i is Ishvara Pranidhana /i or devotion to the Supreme Lord, say the ultimate Act of truth was acknowledge that there is only one Wirklichkeit that exists: God. And that's a God not by spreading our commitment for the outside of the religious ceremonies and rituals, but by turning inward to Yogis!) ~ by flowing through the realization of Brahma "us." This basic honesty (Satya) developed naturally as devotion to the Supreme Lord Niyama (our own bright core). When we realize who we are i /i, how can we not love and endless dedicated / i? / p third yamas i; i asteya /i or not greed. What should I do the distance are longing for something that is acquired by merit. This (very infallible) prepares a fundamental belief in the law of attraction", what values are actually a person itself. (This is in accordance with the teachings of the Karma Yoga: the relaxed about score / bottom line, even in the middle of the burning activity.) Designed to perfection, quality of non-greed creates a subtle magnetism of Yogi that easy to win things are his or her needs, what they are always happy... arises a sense of calm and relaxation. Completion of Yama Niyama asteya i Santosh /i or satisfaction. Since we know that we should count always credit we can in our work and our ~ ~ games in an attitude of acceptance rest, regardless of the specific conditions under which today manifested in / on Wed Leven./p the fourth yamas p i aparigraha /i or non-approval and is a result of asteya / non-greed: asteya commitment, what our own; aparigraha: commitment, what we normally as our own. The point is that not much that listening to us (small-self/ego). ~ All ourBody, our actions, our thoughts ~ belongs to the Lord (our higher self). Perfection aparigraha ability to manifest our previous incarnations (this is only possible if we our identification with our current released reminds body). Completion of Yama Niyama Aparigrapha i Swadhyaya /i or introspection, invite a movement of an understanding of will, what we (through the use of non-admission) to a deeper view about us /i i./p Brahmacharya is fifth yamas i / i, or more literally ~ ~ "flows Brahma / Supreme spirit." This doctrine is applied specifically to the practice of celibacy and sexual abstinence. Generally refers to professional work with all our natural human desires. Centered the body of consciousness in its deepest sense, Brahmacharya, the practice of consciousness, flows in the core of our existence that is identified with the spirit rather than an ego-in. If we train in this way, we start our natural people to overcome ", his desire" (which is a clear expression of the energy of the awakened mind) instead of the knee of them (i.e. until the loops of deriving the truth the - we-are). Perfection of this Yama will come as a result of the unbridled energy, shining like the Sun is the discarding of continuous appearance. In addition to the Yama Niyama Brahmacharya is tapas i /i or rigor which is the practice of energy that was previously directed outwards and re channeling to offer spiritual search (like food), fire Shushumna Nadi, which already has wishes / desire./p

Everyone has had bad experiences, this is a natural part of life. Bad experiences must be met with solutions. Watch a crisis if you must cry a solution and learn something from him./p we are all sad, but we can not solve by shouting about. It is natural to cry, but we must continue.

Otherwise, fall and the world is "over you're going."/p why latter aspect of Yoga is Hatha Yoga is taught in your class?

Any person that any religion can live with these universal laws and practices, Karma Yoga - selfless service of the Union./p © Copyright 2006 - Paul Jerard aura publications /p
