[QUOTE=john32;63980]this text is so hard to understand. can you explain in plain words[/QUOTE]

Dear Friend:

I sincerely apologise for the inconvenience I caused to you.

I was trying to point out an amazing thing about Mahayoga. I all other forms of yoga such as [I]Hatha Yoga[/I] for example, the teacher has to ascertain which postures would help you. Here itself, there can be an error of judgment. Thereafter they have to be learnt. Then, there can be mistakes in performing them.

That amazing thing is that in [I]Mahayoga[/I], one does not have to do anything on his own. This is because, in its original form, [I]Prana is a divine and living force.[/I] Without [I]Prana[/I], our body is useless.

So, in Mahayoga, Prana becomes the doer, i.e. takes the responsibility of performing or doing yoga actions. During this period, the mind becomes a mere witness or a seer.

In one of my earlier posts, I have given the steps to be practised regularly before one can actually experience the truth in what I am saying. Also the experience will be quicker for the person who has inner readiness of surrendering to Divine Prana.

I am giving the steps again so that you may try out for some days. I suggest at least 42 days.

[ol]
[li]Sit in any comfortable position and calmly close the eyes.
[/li][li]Relax the body to the maximum, as if body is not there.
[/li][li][B]Allow[/B] the [B]automatic[/B] breathing to take place.
[/li][li]Feel the [B]Mother Air going in and out of the body.[/B] Offer the breathing process [B]full liberty[/B]. Please [B]don?t do[/B] anything yourself. This is the essence of this [I]Mahayoga[/I] practice.
[/li][li]Continue this practice [B]daily[/B], as per available time.
[/li][/ol]

Thousands of people have experienced inner peace through this practice. This is a result of relaxation of body and merging all thoughts in [B]only and only[/B] the Divine Air Mother.

regards
anand

Dear friend:

How I wish it was “insight” rather than “incite”!!

According to The Bhagavad Gita, those who have navigated themselves surely are the blessed yogis who have stumbled and fallen in the path of yoga in their past lives. Such ones continue on their path in the present birth. Some may not even require the external aids you mention.

I wish to draw your attention to the following verse from [I][B]Yoga-Shikhopanishada:[/B][/I]

[I][B]mantro layo hatho raja yogontarabhoomikah kramaat |
eka evachaturdhaayam mahayogo~bhidheeyate ||[/B][/I]

meaning that, ordinarily, one thinks that hatha-yoga, mantra-yoga, laya-yoga and raja-yoga are separate yogas. But that is not so. Upon Mother [I]Kundalini[/I] awakening, all these four yogas precipitate automatically. This is known as [I][B]Mahayoga.[/B][/I]

Yes, true. With mind alone, one may not even realise the mistakes.

The relation between body-mind-spirit is the serpent power herself.

Yes good clarification “insight” intended, mistakenly “incite” typed.

Yes a predisposition to a certain distinction such as Raja, Jnana, Karma, Bhakti etc. but must not forsake others for one, obviously all will need to be experienced.

Dear friend:

The awakened Kundalini acts as per the hidden karma, which manifests as one’s predisposition. Therefore in this amazing path of Mahayoga, awakened Prana~Shakti herself precipitates only those yoga-kriyas, be it hatha, mantra, etc. for the dissolution of karma.

Hence, keeping the destination in mind one need not insist on going through all types of yoga just for the sake of it.

[QUOTE=john32;63999]and what is the power train of this three?[/QUOTE]

Well, it is the serpent power as already mentioned, also known as [I][B]kundalini[/B][/I], the dormant spiritual force. Some may want to keep the spirit aspect separate, but that is academic.

Is there more info about it?

#58

book, site maybe…

The real healing is done by the life force (other names: prana, qi, cosmic energy) within you.

All medicine, fitness, medical ttreatments etc do nothing else but to help activate the life force within you. Qi Gong and TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) are saying and practising this directly: a specific disease is caused by a specific flow blockage of
qi (prana).

The method is becoming more and more popular: acupuncture, tai chi, acupressure,
lots of bioenergeticians (pranic healers).

Jesus Christ healed by placing the hand upon the sick.

Even today there are “miracle healers” like John the God of Brazil.

and what is bioenergeticians?
