The Yoga Bridge

This week, I did some time thinking and studying in a forest.  Meditation. Reading, Asanas, Loving Kindness.  Mantras.    Yoga has started me down a spiritual path  to find the true self.  I started reading Iyengar’s book on Patanjali’s sutras as in the picture.

Other things that I learned from reading and want to add to the yoga practice.

1) Every time I say the word, Aum, I will say it with passion and tremendous respect.

2) Every time I say the word, Aum, I will  try to surrender completely to God.

3) Asana, move slowly to keep a steady base. Never in a hurry.

4) Use my skin. The skin is what tells me where I’m in space. Give it attention.

5) Prana means energy, not breath. The cosmos breaths me.

As per the suggestion of a Swami on YouTube, I declared my self enlightened. It was like giving notice to my mind.  The declaration was done with tremendous passion and sincerity.  This was the advise of a swami, in regards to enlightenment. I do  follow the yamas and niyamas.
