Yoga Quad III
Yoga Quad – Part III
Union via Psychic Control (Raja Yoga)
Union by mental control is known under the name of Raja Yoga. Raja means king and that Yoga is defined as the Regal or the king of all yogas.
Raja Yoga has eight members called Ashtanga Yoga.
Raja Yoga Eightfold
Yama – Respect the right to conduct (non-violence, truth, and not greed, continence, not grants)
Niyama – Meditation, self-study, joy, inner and outer purity, and reverence for the Lord
Asanas – Exercises physical relax and tone muscles
breathing exercises that reduce the breath control and regulate the flow of prana – Pranayama
Pratyahara – Removing the outside world or to disconnect the mind from the sensory world.
Dharana Concentration
Dhyana – Meditation
Samadhi – the realization of cosmic consciousness.
Without control of mind, spiritual can not do anything. Mind spirit binds liberates.Mind is the cause of any easement.
Mind control is the hardest thing in the world. You may be able to control everything, but not the spirit.
Mind is subtle matter, according to Indian philosophy. (Indian Philosophy is a term given to the twelve humiliating positive sciences in the Vedas).
There are many definitions of the mind. A definition is that the mind is the best case to vibrate. Another definition is that the mind is a constant flow of thoughts. We can say that, like a flowing river, the stream of thought is the mind.
Mind has been compared a monkey. Salta is one thing to another. The control of this monkey is very difficult because of the change of character.
Once upon a time there was a monkey (the mind). Someone gave him alcohol and became intoxicated. Later, a scorpion, it attracted the greed little. Later, he was stung by the sting of Jealousy.Then suddenly an evil spirit that possessed the name of Pride. Imagine how very difficult to control, a mind!
Unified Energy life, the cosmic prana
"The Unified Field is the only reality" Einstein said. "This is the unified field of Vedists Brahman and the Tao of the Chinese" Averre Dr. Fritjof Capra in his book The Tao of Physics. "
All the four fundamental forces of the Universe – weak nuclear force, strong nuclear force, electricity and magnetism – they are simply different manifestations of energy called Prana Vedists unified.
As for Raja Yoga, there are only two powerful forces in the universe-Akasha (Ether-principle) and the cosmic energy, prana.
Everything we see around us, taste, touch and feel is one of many manifestations of Akasha. This energy manifests all-pervasive like the sun, moon, stars, earth, etc. The other elements – Vayu (air) Agni (fire), Apa (water) and Prithvi (earth) are coarser than his.
Our bodies belong to the sea of raw material and spirit belong to the sea of subtle matter (Mind). Prana is active while there is life, when the Prana goes to sleep, so to speak, the more life.
Self-purification process of Raja Yoga.
If we can find a way back to the source of raw materials, who was surprised to see that disappears, leaving behind only subtle matter. and whether it could subtly refer this matter the cause, we see that disappears, leaving behind only Self.
This method of self-purification is called the process "back." My body will disappear when it becomes pure. disappear? Not literally, but figuratively, it means that I live as if my body was not there. My body often assert their claims and I do not feel weight.
This process "back, if applied to the mind (The word religion is derived from the Latin Relegaire -" Return ") can make it invisible: I can not boss me slide here and there and I do not feel trapped in it. This process of self-purification reveal "finer and more subtle dimensions of our being "to reach the best" To be or
Divine, or the ocean of consciousness.
I the silence is the sound!
If therewithin You lose, you're found!
The nameless, the seashore, which is "I"
You can not breathe, but in its bosom drowned! (Tennyson)

Look at the ocean of matter, mind and consciousness
As the waves of what we should do is look in the sea of Being One and Three-matter, mind and consciousness. We, like waves, belong to the ocean.
The Absolute is like an endless ocean. To merge in the Absolute can meditate like this
Above is full of me, then, is full of me in the center is full of me. I am in all beings and all beings are in me. Om Tat Sat, who am. I'm here on the mind. I'm the one Spirit of the Universe. I am neither pleasure nor pain.
The body eats and drinks and so on. I do I am the body. I do not mind …. I am Consciousness Knowledge. Bliss.
I am the essence and the nectar of knowledge. Through eternity I do not change. I am calm, clear and unchanging.
I am That which is the similarity
Mines, Amrit is;
And immortality is mine
Minas and bliss! (The Song Celestial)
Hidden channels (Nadis)
Raja Yoga posited that the human body has channels called nadis invisible. The left main Nadi called Ida and the right to Nadi, Pingala. The spiral Sepentine energy called Kundalini is coiled at the base of the root chakra (Muladhara). Through another Sushumna invisible channel called the Kundalini, the serpent power, is in his ascension to the crown chakra (Sahasrara). In Pranayama, the correspondent central microscopic of cosmic Shakti, which is latent in all beings, can be mentioned.
A Power to call for eternity in time
And the joy of the body are as real as (Aurobindo) of the soul
This power-aspect of consciousness that India has demonstrated as Mother Divine – Prakriti in Sankhya, Vedanta Maya and Shakti in Tantra.
Pranayama
Many believe Pranayama is breath control. This is far the truth. Pranayama means to know and control the vital energy or Prana. Control of this powerful energy that gives infinite power. If a man can know and control Prana, where power is not it in him?
You can control everything, from microcosm to macrocosm, the universe world is under its control.
The ancient seers sought truth in themselves and asked the eternal question, "What, If known, we know everything? "
As it is impossible to study all life science (all science to be a sea without end), the ancient seers were powerful secret after a special knowledge of the substance, if known, we know everything!
All principles have a principle basic unit. If this is understood, then everything is included. All powers are not manifestations of this cosmic energy, prana. Whoever controlled the Prana has controlled all spirits in the universe, all bodies in the Universe: Prana is the basis of the entire event!
How To control the Prana is the objective of Pranayama.
The sum total energy in the universe is an absolute constant: Universal Energy is neither created nor destroyed, it is indestructible. Two aspects, unmanifested and manifested. This power is Prana
Pranayama is control.
The principal or pranayama is to awaken the Kundalini. In the ordinary Sushumna base is not open. To open, it is the function of Pranayama.
In Sanskrit, Kundalini means coiled energy. The basis of all mental impulses is the Root Chakra and Consciousness – Force power is the energy spiral. When you concentrate deeply or meditate deeply, we find that this part of the root chakra is heated. When we do Raja Yoga, we feel subtle heat. This figure coiled coil increases power through Sushumna and when it comes to the different chakras, creating significant reactions.
The practice of Pranayama – Three Techniques
First technique
We have to breathe deeply (as deeply as possible) from both nostrils then exhale slowly. We must do so early to prepare for the practice of Pranayama. Here is the time to expiration and inspiration must be equal. In general, instead of having one, two, three, in the east, the mantras are chanted. Om is the usual mantra sung.
Second technique
Inhalation is known as Pooraka
Retention is known Kumbhaka
The expiration is known as name Rechaka
breathe in, then keep breath, then exhale.
If inhalation is 4 seconds, breath retention must be 16 seconds and 8 seconds of expiration. During this process, we should meditate on the triangular root chakra (Muladhara). Mind must concentrate on this chakra.
Third Technical
In this technique, first make Pooraka (inhalation). Immediately after, not Rechaka (expiration). Then make retention (Kumbhaka)
If you do the first technique, your voice is beautiful. His face seems peaceful. The more you practice this technique, you get more peace.
A A After the adjournment of the golden snake, your perception will change change.Your thought. So no need to rely on books. Then your mind will become your book. This wonderful phenomenon called the mind is a repository of infinite knowledge. Once the Kundalini rises through Shushumna you reach a transcendental plane. The main goal of the Yogi is to open the Sushumna. In the manner of Sushmna are the chakras, energy cosmic dynamos in man.
She sports as Universal Power in the macrocosm and the microcosm as the coiled Serpent Power!
Absolute Infinite Power You are!
The Because of the Maya Universe
The whole creation is your Play
Thy blessing is Bliss Absolute!
The essence of all Thou art science
All women your events!
You are the visible universe
And sleep Serpentine Power!
The scientific basis to keep continence
Semen and spirit are intimately linked. Therefore continence was prescribed to control the mind. Dhanwantri, Father of Ayurveda told his followers that the panacea for all ills is Brahmacharya (continence).
The basic principle of Raja Yoga is that energy seminal properties Vidyut (electricity) Ojas (light) and tapas (heat). This energy is stored energy when it becomes spiritual and stored in the brain. This process is called sublimation. Havelock Ellis, in his Psychology of Sex, believes that the sublimation of the seminal energy can provide skills, artistic and scientific. Raja Yoga is only tested it thousands of years ago proclaimed.
This energy Seminal (Urdhwa challenge you) are stored by the Raja Yogi in the body by observing chastity. Raja Yoga advocates the preservation of power of seminal for 12 years for yoga schools to thrive. Once sublimated, this energy is known as the Ojas (Shining) and stored in the brain!
