OPEN FORUM ON OUR WORKSHOP DISCUSSIONS

Namaste,

     This past Saturday was the start of another group transforming in the heart of yoga!!!

Very excited as the stories and insights shared demonstrate the work we each already do on the path to greater union, liberation, and development of consciousness.  I'd like to share with everyone what we

are working on as a group and invite you to begin practicing the first two limbs of yoga, the YAMAS AND NIYAMAS to purify the mind.  In the traditional study and practice of yoga, these ethics/morals/values were practiced by the yogi/yogini before any practicing of postures or asanas.  As we study and apply the YAMAS AND NIYAMAS, one can see how what is crucial to conscious, spiritual growth is the purifying of thoughts that are detrimental to our character.  Thoughts based on harm, judgement, discontent, comparison, ignorance, disrespect etc. essentially injure ourselves, our own spiritual integrity, compassion, and ability to cultivate deeper wisdom and understanding.  So as we can see, these first two limbs help us avoid the kinds of thoughts that decelerate growth and cultivate or maintain the kinds of thoughts and actions that accelerate growth toward higher consciousness! This week the workshop group/ SANGHA is working on APARIGRAHA AND BRAHMACARYA.  Any insights, comments, trials and tribulations, reflections, or questions may be posed here as this forum is open to everyone.    Here they are:

YAMAS 

AHIM'SA:   Not acting or thinking in ways that inflict harm on others 

APARIGRAHA:   Not accumulating beyond one's simple/basic needs

BRAHMACARYA:  Not perceiving others & life in general as separate from the divine

SATYA:   Not using words or thoughts in ways that harm others

ASTEYA:  Not stealing or desiring what is of another either in thought or action

NIYAMAS

SANTOS'A: Maintaining equanimity through contentment

SHAOCA: Maintaining purity and quality of mind

SVA'DHYA'YA: Acquiring knowledge of the nature of the universe

TAPAH: Practicing selfless service to others

IISHVARA PRAN'IDHAN'NA: Ideating on the supreme source/consciousness

P.S. the above symbol used to represent the medical field in Western culture is 

actually an ancient yogic symbol of the energy centers of the body with the two

polar energies of ida (feminine) and pingala (masculine) weaving through the central

nerve plexis.  The open wings up top represent the opening of higher consciousness

in union with the divine creator or supreme consciousness.  It is called the caduceus.

The Greeks are responsible for its modern day use in the medical field.

Namaste,

Prema Devii
