Yogic Acceleration

Scope

Popular

Many who seek to benefit from the physical postures of “gym” Yoga know that its practice requires a deep level of mindfulness, on the mat and off the mat.

That requirement of mindfulness indicates what actually Yoga is about.

Actual

Many may not know that these mindfulness techniques are based on the deeply empirical Mind Science of Yoga, which details the architecture of the Human Mind and prescriptions for how to cure it of all disease - both body & mind.

Dis-ease, in the sense that we are "not at ease" if the Mind and Body, and in particular the nervous system, are out of balance.

Techniques

The Prescription

Yoga has a very "simple" (but not simplistic) prescription, which is to: 

• first still the Body, after an intense physical practice as part of Hatha Yoga, and 

• then to still the Mind in meditation as part of Rāja Yoga.

This stillness practice is challenging, for when we: 

• sit still we discover various places in the Body that suddenly itch or become numb, and 

• when we try to still the Mind it uncovers endless reasons to keep it chattering on inconsequential stuff.

As a precursor to mastering these challenges we can cultivate an ongoing mindfulness practice, to slow down & observe everyday reactive patterns in our interactions with others and everything we come in touch with, including food, media, etc.
