Yoga as a Cosmic Geometry
What feels so good is that yoga is a path of awakening and that's so even when we do it just for fitness. The asanas are shapes that reflect cosmic geometry. The points of contact where palms touch or when hands come to the third eye are neural pathways that fire and engage the brain and nervous system.
A lot of people think of yoga as a purely physical practice. It has become a new way of exercising because it builds strength and flexibility and always feels better after yoga. We rarely regret making it to yoga.
What feels good is that Yoga is a path of awakening even when we do it just for fitness. The asanas are shapes that reflect cosmic geometry when we bend in this way or that, there is a connection. We are integrating our energy system whether we know it or not. We are coming into alignment with cosmic geometry whether we know it or not.
We rewind ourselves each time we practice Yoga by joining breath with sacred movement and coming closer to our own divinity.
Yoga-asanas are not exercising but rather processes to manipulate one's energy in a particular direction. In an untrained state, the human body is a constant manifestation of various levels of compulsiveness. By consciously forming the body into a certain posture, one creates a passage for energy to flow that can elevate one's consciousness.
It is a way of aligning the inner-system and adjusting it to the celestial geometry, thereby becoming in sync with the existence and naturally achieving a chemistry of healthfulness - joyfulness - blissfulness and above all balance!
As Sadhguru said, "The whole universe is geometrically perfect, that's why it stays there." The average distance between the earth and the sun is one-hundred-eight (108) times the sun's diameter and the average distance between the earth and the moon's is about one-hundred-eight (108) times the moon's diameter. Planet earth is going around the sun, isn't it? Its a perfection of geometry that keeps going and going and going. Otherwise, it wouldn't.
This is about understanding the geometry of the cosmos through the geometry of your own system.
If you learn to hold your body in a certain way, if the geometry of your body is in alignment with the geometry of the rest of the creation, suddenly you will tune in and nature will do all these things for you feeling healthy-strong-balanced.
Yoga is not about twisted your body. If you learn to just hold it right, the whole Cosmos will pour into you. Is not engineering yourself to breathe little better, to be a little more healthy, no. This is about realizing the full potential of what it means to be human.
Pythagoras, the Greek philosopher and the first of the great teachers of ancient Greece, was teaching arithmetic, numbers, geometry, music, harmony, cosmology, justice, body&soul, and vegetarianism around 6th-century b.c.
He was believing that numbers, cosmology and music are "sister science". He was believing that nothing exists without a center. The center is the source and it is beyond understanding, it is unknowable but like a seed, the center will expand and will fulfill itself.
Pythagoreans used medicine from mother-nature for purification of the body and music for the purification (or calm) of the soul.
Pythagoras believed that body and soul functioned together and a healthy body-soul as the sea of the sensation and emotion as distinct from the intellect and many more that will elaborate in an upcoming post.
Affirm: "I am at one with the universe and I am at one with myself. My life is perfect and I am perfect because I am surrounded by happiness and joy."
