Dependence of the loads from the age of yoga

Hatha yoga, both in principle and any other type of physical activity, you can do almost from infancy, gradually increasing the number of exercises. When a child comes 2 years, it can be gradually accustomed to the long-time walks, to games that require constant movement. With 6 years of age the child should continue to play, for jogging, hiking, but can gradually begin to study some breathing exercises, in addition, should actively explore the lightest variation of the dynamic type of exercise, and exercise equilibrium type and the lotus position. 

When little yoga turns 10 years old, he continues to use the acquired knowledge, known him to engage in exercises, but care should be taken to start swimming lessons and more intensive work with the breath. In the interval from 13 to 16 years, the most relevant lessons are exercises that allow people to develop physical abilities such as strength, endurance and speed, to a new level should be removed control of the breath, the yogi must be able to perform almost all dynamic exercises, as well as actually be able to perform the lotus position. 

The most active period covers the age span of the young yogi from 17 to 30 years, while in which he should be able to perform all possible exercises of hatha yoga, to be able to stay in all postures and breathing exercises to carry out any difficulty. In the next ten years of life yogi must keep his physical form, but it is recommended to improve the results in one area of hatha yoga. The next decade is characterized by the same level of stress, but requires more walking. Each subsequent year should not affect the physical abilities of yogis, especially if they comply with the requirements of ever-increasing amount of time spent on the street.

Legends about Yoga-alchemist

Legends about Yoga-alchemist 

On the acquisition of "diamond body" was sent to one of the types of yoga, Tantric Vajrayana, the essence of this was to acquire permanent and incorruptible body is preparing for the final "transformation", Hatha yoga to strengthen his state of immortality. Tantric processes, as such hold in the body, which is called "thin" it is the one with the cosmos and at the same pantheon, in turn, is deified. The essence of the above is that the student had to survive a real thin body death and resurrection, it should have happened after the end of the cycle of destruction and restoration of the universe. Therefore, this process resembles alchemy, the process of disintegration and reconstruction, although it is a variant of Western alchemy. Yoga, like the alchemist has some kind of transformation of matter. However, the matter in India was completed process pakrita or shaky, the Maya called them arhitep-mag. 

Among the traditional Siddh is completed and this part of the transformation process tantric yoga, the essence of the following: continuation of alchemy it is the age-old way of tantric yoga, which seized on the one hand the secrets of Sakti, ie imitating her transformation to a prime speaking skills and knowledge to transform ordinary metals into gold, on the other hand Vajrayana has a "diamond body" and Siddha-deha hatha yoga have no strong differences from the "body of glory" of the alchemists of the Western lands. The role of the transfiguration of the flesh is given to the worshiper's body like a god creating (Divya-deha), "body wisdom" is a worthy receptacle for only him, to those who "liberated in this life, it is called (Jivan-mukti). Strangers who visited India to feel the unity of yoga and alchemy but they were not alone, його-alchemical folklore to develop in the Indian people, combining myths about the elixir of immortality and the treatment of metals has turned a single myth about yoga-Mare.

Immortals yoga

Immortals yoga 

Most people at one time in my life heard the word "immortal yogis. Only a few people managed to meet at least one. I have devoted the time and trouble to to find - whether they exist. 
Until I met 8 of them. I arbitrarily set 300 years as the minimum duration of life in the same physical body as a standard, as an estimate of such an unusual class of people. . This is an 8 immortal yogis, both men and women, their age from 380 to 130 000 years. Three of them retain the address of his place on the planet Earth for over 2000 years. 

Once I met Rama and Sita in the Netherlands. They come and go at will. I am in awe looking at the relationship that continued for 130 000 years. 
There are at least several thousand immortal yogis on the planet Earth. Most of them live in the Himalayas. A group of them always appears at the meeting Khumbu Mela in India. 
These yoga absolutely committed to improving their ability to learn and accumulation of great energy of age of age. But self-justification and unconsciousness can occur at any time, causing the decline and death. Shiva Purana, which is the oldest scripture that describes the millions of years of human history, contains many stories about this and that type of human character, which is required to practice the presence of God in Truth, Simplicity and Love. 

Immortals of yoga by his example demonstrates that the practice of the Presence of God in Truth, Simplicity and Love is a timeless condition for infinite health and vitality. 
One of the things that struck me when I saw these the wise, simple and great people, was that most of the people who live near them, have little interest in becoming immortal yogis, or not at all interested in this. It is still surprising to me. 

This problem of self-evaluation? 
This is a crude materialism? 
It is the spiritual darkness of the human soul? 
This lack of imagination? 
The idea is to be master of itself seems too difficult? 
Obviously, this is limited thinking, but why most people are so limited in its assessment of human potential and their beliefs about their own potential? 

Yoga is the stereotype of the immortal image of a hermit, practicing celibacy and living in a cave, but the immortal yogis are as men and women, and traditionally, according to the Hindu Holy Scriptures, the life of a householder with a wife and family, is an appropriate way to achieve liberation, and skill . For example, Shiva, Rama, Vayshista Babaji many immortal bodies have wives and children. 

Spiritual liberation, and skill in fact mean the same thing. Liberation means complete healing of emotional intelligence and, through this, the possession of a healthy body. Liberation means to be not born of the Eternal Spirit and to include the mind and body in adult life eternal, endless energy. Liberation means to live, fully conscious I am staying in, in the Guru - ie in our personal relationship with the Infinite Mind. 

Mastery means - to eliminate the consciousness of the victim and cause of our goals and desires. It means to live in bliss, except when you deliberately heal someone suffering from pain. It means to be free from death, as appropriate. This means sintegrirovannost spirit, mind and body and possess the ability to heal the body. 
However, the skill has several levels: spiritual enlightenment begins with the following understanding - energy becomes to what she thinks! 

1. Selecting physical immortality is probably the first level. 
It includes a complete philosophy of life from a physical standpoint 
immortality rather than a mortal perspective (perspective, focused on death). 
2. Awareness of the energy body. 
3. Learning how to clean energy body: mantras, practices with the elements earth, air, water, fire, love 
4. Nothing can replace 30 years of spiritual practices: Rebirthing, fire, starvation, etc. 

Perform a sufficient number of years of practice in order to really be in the forefront of the process of spiritual purification in such a way that the healing of emotional energy pollution faster than you earn it. For some people, an important step is to become a vegetarian or give up cigarettes or alcohol. 

4. Be in harmony with the principle of guru 
5. Choosing a lifestyle that supports spiritual growth and mastery. 
6. Become knowledgeable perfect image of the great scriptures of all religions and the great literature of samples of humanity, especially the Shiva Purana. 
7. Creating a spiritual community as a personal media support. 
8. Establishing a successful relationship with Babaji, the eternal Father in human form, and to allow your friends to communicate with him on this path. 
9. Dissolution of death wish, which you inherited from your family tradition. 
10. Healing of senile diseases. Old age - this is the last exam for the human condition - you or pass it - or go to another world. This is the main obstacle to physical immortality. Most people give up and die more often than follow the path of personal improvement. We would prefer that someone else did it for us. That is why we must transform the helplessness, hopelessness, infantile consciousness, birth trauma, cancer awareness, etc. 
11. Shiva Kalpa is the main ritual (way) rejuvenation - 12-year-old course. 
12. The actual healing of birth trauma, fetal and infaltilnogo consciousness, parental disapproval syndrome, unconscious desire for death, inherited from family and from past lives and informed use of force the human mind. 
13. Find satisfaction in career, prosperity and civil liability. 
All these items relate to improving the human condition, the following is our divine potential. 
14. Development of transfiguration - the materialization and dematerialization of the body at will. Healing of emotional intelligence can take anywhere from 50 to 100 years if we are working with this all the time. This is our main work during the first century. 
15. Experiments with teleportation, astral projection, levitation, etc. 
16. Control of food, sleep and sex - 40-day fast without food or water. 
17. The development of conscious relationship with the Sun, Moon, Planet Earth and its environment, etc. 
18. Controlling organs of the body instead of being controlled by them. Be able to heal the body and make him invulnerable to wounds, disease and death. 
19. Master the million Yogi, which are needed in order to create the human body directly from the Spirit. Without this ability, the origin of the human body is a relative theory. However, evolution can begin at any point and move in any direction. 

In everyday life people show that they can suspend the natural bodily processes, manage, change them and cause them all sorts of wonderful variations, as the benefit and harm. Our creative energy now can continuously penetrate into the laws and processes of nature and change them with pure intentions. Life becomes more stress-free when we do not need a supernatural energies and live in harmony with our common divine and human nature. This is good - to live in peaceful harmony with the laws of nature and have no need to use supernatural forces. 
20. I met my immortal yogis highest level of skill, apparently, is reached after 500 years. Despite this, the father of Rama lived more than 60 000 years without achieving spiritual mastery. 

Eating from the Tree of Life, which means the practice of the Divine Presence, is still and constantly a source of Eternal Life. God is the source of wisdom, peace, pleasure, mastery, and the materialization of eternal life. Devotion to God is the source of eternal science of personal vitality. 
The choice to become immortal master yogi makes you immortal in real time. The trick is to remain immortal. This obviously includes the mastery of this choice in the Eternal Now. It is not difficult, it is in harmony with our Divine Nature. We just have to remember - always and without effort - that we are born the Divine Child High God. We - this is his favorite ideas in his / her mind.

Origin of Yoga

Origin of Yoga 

The figure, found during archaeological excavations in the area Mogendzho-Daro in the Indus Valley, attracted the attention of scientists to the yogi, or, as it is called "proto-Shiva". This image Pashupati (from Sanskrit "lord of animals") is a figure sitting in the traditional yoga pose with legs crossed, resting, relaxed hands on his knees. I found the figure of sir John Marshall and his team - they are all sure that it is a prototype of the god Shiva, and describe her as a man with three faces, seated in a yogic pose with crossed feet. And yet, these thoughts are not quite co-operating with the modern academic concepts. 

In Indian philosophy, yoga is any of the six orthodox philosophical schools. Philosophical system of Yoga is closely connected with the school samkhi. Yogic school, as explained by Patanjali, adopted the philosophy and metaphysics samkhi, but by itself it is more theistic, adding to the twenty-five elements samkhi divine union. The parallels between yoga and samkhey so obvious that Max Muller said: "in a popular fashion statement, the two differ in both philosophy and with samkhya samkhya without the Divine. 

The founder of formal philosophy of yoga is considered the sage Patanjali. Despite the fact that he attributed to yoga sutras (which sometimes are called Yoga Sutras of Patanjali), some experts on Hinduism says that the work of Patanjali is a collection of fragments and traditions of texts dating from the second or third century AD. Other scientists lead a broader period of time, an exciting period from 100 BC 500 years BC 

Further development took place within the yoga of the Indian subcontinent for centuries. During this time, formed six major ways to achieve enlightenment and liberation from the shackles of the material world. Later, it spread in such a form is already in all countries of the East, which was closely associated with the practice of Hinduism, Islam and Buddhism. In the seventeenth-eighteenth century, yoga has become one of the major practices in Tibet, as well as in Muslim countries. 

When India became a colony of Britain, some British scientists interested in issues of yoga. In the eighties of the nineteenth century, even the first note out of one of the British journalists, dedicated to yoga, but the spread of the new philosophy has not received. 

Only in the late nineteenth century, Vivekananda brought this philosophy to the United States and, later, Paramhansa Yogananda during visits to the United States and Europe, opened to the Western world that a system of understanding ourselves and the universe. Life of the great teachers of that time was reflected in the literature and studies of future generations. 

But its heyday teaching yoga reached only in the twentieth century, when everywhere began to open up educational and research centers. In India itself there are an infinite number of them, but the greatest authority enjoys yoga Cultural Center in New Delhi. 

Start the yogic path in Russia are traditionally tied to the seventy years of the last century, although the notion of "Agni Yoga" came within the teachings of the Roerich before the mid-twentieth century. This time, the assimilation of knowledge gained by those who spent many years in the cradle of yoga, with Russian realities, as a consequence, the resulting product was much different from the yogic philosophical schools of other countries. Distribution of yoga in Russia associated with names such as Boris Leonidovich Smirnov, Vasily V. Brody, Zubkov, Koltunov and many others.

Yoga - what does it consist?

Yoga - what does it consist? 

Classical yoga is divided into eight parts, each of which represents an element of mental, physical and spiritual exercises to achieve harmony. Four of the eight have to deal with mental and physical exercises that are designed to coordinate the mind and body. The remaining four are working with different degrees of meditation. There are six basic types of yoga, which are designed to achieve the same goal, but in different ways: Hatha, Raja, Bhakti, Jnana, and Tantra. Hata Yoga is perhaps the most well-known system, it consists of about two hundred postures, movements and breathing techniques, which lead the body in order, making it healthy. The philosophy of yoga says that breathing is the most important engine of health, as breathing is the largest resource of prana or vital force. In hatha yoga uses pranayyama that in literary translation sounds like "breath control". Initially, hatha yoga was developed as a system that would make the body healthy so that people are not distracted by the problem of the body during spiritual self-improvement. 

There are several different schools of hatha yoga. The most numerous are the Iyengar Yoga and Ashtanga Yoga. The first was founded B.K.S. Iyengar, who is considered one of the greatest innovators of the case. Here we use the techniques of hatha yoga, but his gaze is directed at them from a different angle. This type of training is good in the role of physical therapy, in addition are allowed to use additional devices to make it easier for people to take the necessary provisions. Ashtanga yoga is hatha yoga, is interpreted as a dance. 

In other types of yoga you can see the realization of other ideas that are typical for this practice. Raja yoga is for enlightenment and disciplining the mind through meditation. The idea of this philosophy lies in the simplicity and non-attachment to the world of desire and material objects. The focus of karma yoga put on charity, service to others, lack of aggression and violence as a means to achieve peace. Bhakti yoga is the path of devotion and love for God or a Universal Spirit. Jnana Yoga is the practice of knowledge and wisdom. And, finally, Tantra Yoga is the path to self-fulfillment through religious rituals. 

Some yoga classes, depending on the school and teachers can be as easy and quite time-consuming workouts. During the study pulse, heart rhythm and breathing may be slowed down so that observers believe that a man and not breathing. 

The greatest success can be achieved by practicing yoga daily. Yoga should be an exercise that lasts a lifetime. The longer a practitioner is engaged in self-improvement, the more conversant he becomes. Basic items can enhance strength, flexibility and good health for a very short period of time, but the years pass, to reach in this case the depth of perfection - that encourages many people during yoga practice. 

The best way to learn yoga under the guidance of an experienced teacher, but the basic aspects can be studied independently, based on the knowledge gained from books, which today can be found fairly good summary. Yoga can also act as a program of therapeutic value, but it is more typical for study abroad.

Detail Utthita Parshvakonasany

Utthita Parshvakonasana - "straight side corner. This position belongs to a variety of "standing" asanas with an assault, when one leg is straight and the other - toward which, indeed, do the exercise - is bent at right angles. In this upper part of thigh is strictly parallel to the floor, and the section legs from knee to ankle - perpendicular. Situation feet - standart. 

The trunk leans in the direction of attack, as if the same name lying sideways on the floor parallel to the surface of the thigh. Both blades are again leaning against a vertical surface, ie, chest plane deployed in the legs. Lower arm rests on the floor with his hand or fingers, being established outside of the foot, but not near the inner side of the foot. Bock, more or less regard to the legs of the same name, but in fact the degree of this contact depends on the length of hands, which have all individually. 

Attacks in this Asana, we must maintain an effort thigh bent legs. Those who have good joints and a good stretch the potential to evade the necessary work in this position, and they are carrying out an attack, fail, settle at the hip to the knee of an acute angle. This scheme is very similar to the posture required, but only for an inexperienced look. 

Muscles of the thigh legs, which is located in the attacks, while switched off, they generally stop working, the body "hangs" in the knee joint. Is a mistake. "Standing" postures are not in order to escape from the payload, but rather - to find the maximum force offered by this form and remain in it, completely disabling the nervous component of physical effort and the muscles that are in the process do not participate. 

In asanas, performed with an assault, there is one small, but sensible stratagem, which told during the seminar in Moscow in the late eighties Faek Biria. To load the muscles bent his legs felt so strongly and does not violate a state of consciousness, it is necessary to comply with the so-called "Hinch". If we have a look at the foot resting on the floor free legs, then it is obvious: where there is growth, more to the inner side markedly favor tendon, which then goes up on the tibia. "Hinch" - part of the tendon, its interval from the end of the lifting of the foot to the place where the leg becomes purely vertical. Actually, "Hinch" or "Inch" is nothing like "inch", which is about three centimeters in length referred to a segment of the tendon. 

And if we are to some tension up from the floor toe, then this section of the tendon is strained, as if becoming the "iron". Job thigh bent legs ceases to be felt, and then, subject to the "Hinch" may hold the asana with an assault and how to be completely effortless. But this does not mean that they disappeared and no longer affect the body and perception. If using "Hinch", overexposing asana, in which there is an attack, do not even get a sense of the breath go astray after you complete the pose, already at rest, so to use the technique to be mentioned is reasonable. 

A hand placed on top, pulled out and also with the wall along with the same name by the upper shoulder blade, is both a continuation of the line of the upper side. Should be turning his head up from under the hand to contemplate the ceiling. When I say "look at the ceiling or on the thumb, which is at the top" - this does not mean that we should go there to stare at whatever cost, twisting his neck and eyes, which, by the way, if possible, better to close. You just need to observe the position of the head with a rotation of its extent available, without appreciable voltage 

Contraindications to this position there but overall, contained in the chapter on "Asana". The effect is the same as that of the "triangle", with the only difference that the change ranges of the joints. Reverse the same version of this exercise gives an unforgettable experience for beginners and is called Parivritta Parsvakonasana - "flip-side angle posture".
The effect of the practice Utthita Parshvakonasany 

This asana tones up the ankles, knees and hips. It corrects the defect in the calves and thighs, the breast develops, reduces body fat in the waist and pelvis, removes sciatica and arthritis. Also increases intestinal peristalsis and facilitates defecation.
