"Pearl" or the influence of Mudra and Prânâyâma
in a spiritual search
Seminar given by Sri TK Sribhashyam in Neuchâtel from 29.07 to 08.01.06
This report is written with the hope to share at least part of the seminar with all who wished to participate and have not seen their registration restraint. Indeed, enrollment was twice the number of seats in the beautiful yoga room, in the heart of Neuchâtel.
Each concept and each concept introduced by Sri TK Sribhashyam were followed by a practical and appropriate exercises and offering participants a comprehensive theoretical and practical subject. For obvious reasons, it is unfortunately not possible to include these exercises and practice sessions in this report.
Spiritual search
Speed and the demands of modern life make it often takes fight to maintain and save space for spiritual quest in our life. Yoga is a means to support this proposed task. It allows us to nurture the spiritual and devote time to contemplation, not hardware, everything is transcendental. It helps us to go to God or the Creator.
Yoga has two elements to support our spirituality breathing Prânâyâma, and include breathing postures and concentration, called Mudra.
There is something in us, in the universe, in every living being, something that is not noticeable, which is not material and is eternal, the soul, the spirit, whatever name we give . This is one aspect, a reflection of God or the Creator. This is like the sun that we perceive through its rays and the light it brings, it is part of our lives without our pensions, at any time. It is the same for the Creator: He is in us without our being aware at all times.
Once you hear the word "sun", it automatically displays the image. For the soul, often the first time, we did not picture because the soul is something that is outside of time and space and therefore has no form. Anything that does not is not comprehensible form and does not confirm our existence!
In any spiritual quest must know situate his soul. We all have a permanent address, the same way it is important to know the "permanent address" of the soul.
Another factor in the spiritual search is an honest and pure behavior vis-à-vis our neighbors as ourselves: in Indian thought, anything that brings us closer to spiritual values is pure, and all that we away is considered unclean.
Our body is another factor that may be an obstacle or an instrument on the path of spiritual quest: the body ages, it undergoes changes with age. If we see only the physical decay, it is unhappy. If we can accept that the body undergoes the inevitable evolution of the age, it becomes our support.
Yoga offers us an understanding of the body and allows us to position ourselves well in relation to different stages of this evolution. This allows us to avoid considering the body as an obstacle and use it as a tool to know the truth in the sense of what is Real and not subject to change, which is immutable, eternal and in- beyond time and space.
Managing a fair sense of perception and sense of action, the body becomes an instrument. We must learn to direct sense perception and do what they were not accustomed to, such as the concentration of points "elusive image ', which is part of the independent perception of the world objectified. We must learn to see in us what is invisible to shape without seeing attributes. This is how we can develop the perception of non-objectified world, which is also the spiritual world.
In Yoga, Asana was introduced some to help us get away from the outside world and we protect data from this world: it is the Mudra, they act as fortresses on our path of spiritual quest.
Mudra
Mudra practice helps us offset the influence emotional during concentration. The Mudra represent some postures in yoga which include a concentration or a specific point within the body or outside the body. External objects are divine objects, which are devoid of human emotions. In Yoga we do not use objects that have a dependency with our emotions and human relations.
The outer points are points of connection between the soul and the Creator.
Points inside the body are like a network and relate to the existence of the soul in life. These very specific points of concentration are considered divine objects.
Concentration is added to the number of breaths specific (3, 6 or 12). The Mudra can be practiced alone, in no specific order, because their role is on an emotional level, it involves cutting the interrelationship between sense perception and emotions.
Here are some points of focus:
- Adityas (Sun): it is the solar disk, black and shiny, which is the door to go beyond this world. This concentration is against the practice.
- The Star: lying on the back, direct the eye as far as possible in the sky.
- Taraka: it is the point on the horizon, infinity beyond the earthly world.
- Murdhna: this is a point which lies to the root of the nose. Murdhna gives us the support of spiritual masters. It is thanks to their light, their spiritual strength as we continue to move towards the Creator. It is our belief that nourish them and help us to strengthen it.
- Divya Chakshush: point of the occiput. Divya Chakshush means "vision of God" is one of the largest concentrations for the vision of our soul.
- Nasaagra: tip of the nose. Reduced from dispersions of sense perception.
- Nabhi: behind the navel. Nabhi restores harmony in the emotional activity.
- Mula: Mula means "root", it is located between the anus and the genitals. This is an extremely important point. This is to bring all of our different human emotions to the root of emotions, Mula, to activate and give way to the divine emotion.
- Bruhmadhya: the point between the eyebrows. In philosophical terms, its meaning is "land between the two" heavenly and earthly.
- Shirsha: fontanelle. It is located in the upper part of the skull at the inside. It is also a vital point, since the soul is supposed to leave at death. The soul is often seen as confined to Mula. It is therefore necessary to create a path for him to go Shirsha, concentration upward, directing the gaze Mula and follow a vertical line Shirsha.
- Hrudaya: the place of residence of God in us. It is a little outside the physiological heart. In the concentration of Mula Shirsha to it automatically by Hrudaya. This is protected from any human emotion. As a state mental Hrudaya is given automatically when the field is free of mental sensations and emotions.
Pranayama
Human beings have two kinds of emotions:
a) the emotions connected to the Creator, our spirituality is an emotion constant, immutable,
b) the emotions of human relations: it is emotional variables.
In the constant modification of our emotions, breathing plays an important role. Direct our breathing is essential, it is necessary to do every day to reduce the emotional anarchy, sentimental, and allow the divine emotion to also have a place in our lives. For more sentimental emotions take up space in our lives, there is less room for the divine emotion.
Everything we do is converted into emotional values. There is an emotional conversion data we receive from the surrounding world through the senses of perception. So it takes some time for them out of our minds. Using breathing, it calms aggression immediate world. For emotional aggression does not penetrate into the cells, purified by Prânâyâma. On a sweep between emotional life and the life of the cell so that the divine emotion remains in the cells. In modern science, we talk about the memory cells.
Prana is the first force of Creation, the Creator's love for His creation. This emotion is the divine devotion that is in us all. Everyone should cultivate because it is only by cultivating it remains constantly present. Must deliberately cultivate mental state close to the divine emotion and material values exclude voluntarily practicing meditation. The role of meditation is to prevent the influence of the material world objectified to give maximum space to the divine mind, for the purpose of our existence is to know the One who created us and know where we come from .
Respiration is used as a unit of time in all that is spiritual (in comparison with the time unit is the material time). The time is indicated breaths unit time for an individual to get away from everyday life to be in a state of contemplation. Pranayama keeps the mind in a contemplative state. During the rituals,
Prânâyâma are made to strengthen the contemplative and meditative state. It is a major element in the approach to Yoga.
The Prânâyâma contains three elements:
- Breathing: tool material for "turn on" our relationship with the Creator. Always been (since the time of the Dravidians, there are more than 10000 years) was related to breathing contemplation. There may have stopovers, that is to say retentions. The four members of respiration: inspiration, retention after inspiration, expiration, retention after expiration.
- The concentration, such as the sun.
- The Mantra: Accompanying this is a formula (the Mantra is not used in the teaching of Sri TK Sribhashyam because it is a religious element unique to Hinduism).
There are many techniques, but there is a base. The variations are based on the individual and his ability to change his mental state to go to the Creator. It is possible to go slower or faster. It is necessary to take into account the fear of the unknown, the Creator, and the fear of not finding his mental state related to the world.
Since 5000 years, based Prânâyâma is: Inspiration left nostril, right nostril expiration; Inspiration right nostril, left nostril Expiration (all form a "cycle").
This technique will be called later Shodana Nadi, which means "purify our mental field." The field is considered here as mental nerve (nadi = nerve). The Prânâyâma is always facing east, is being considered as the place of the Creator. We start with the idea that in the morning when the sun rises, the mind is available and what is the best time for spirituality.
Contemplation
If you have an object in the mental field and is supported by our thoughts, this condition is considered contemplation. In meditation there is always the mention of God or a divine object, such as the sun.
Our mental field is filled, the cluster information is huge, the image of our concentration is camouflaged. To achieve concentration, passes through two stages:
1. The first phase of elimination conscious information: it must dismiss the importance of everyday life and give importance to the subject discussed, then the mental field begins to cover the object: this phase is called dharana (only if a divine object is used).
2. Disabling all intellectual activity, which includes the ability to analyze and intellect. The "I" must be removed to disable human emotions. This situation, when the field is completely mental with the divine object mentioned is called Dhyana. It loses all sense of duality, because it is not in our mental field, and we are one with the Creator or the Divine object. The unit of time in which we are united to the Creator is called "Yoga." Every being has this ability and it would be a fraction of a second. This state is a back-and-forth of concentration. Some points of concentration Dharana and Dhyana to go for support.
Mental field is "elastic": you can make very small, such as in the situation of a problem that concerns us: it fills our field. But we can also make unlimited. Concentration on a divine object (which is unlimited) helps to remove the limits of our mental field. Concentration on an object not divine does not have this effect because the object has a form and links with our human emotions, the mind is therefore limited to this object.
Concentration phases are interrupted by images that appear: If you are attracted by these images, then back the emotional and sentimental footprints, traces of our emotional life over. If it keeps up prints, faults are becoming shorter. Fingerprints are called Klesha. We must find a way to prevent Klesha back up. Mudra practice can not feed Klesha or emotional traces. It is like putting seeds "vacuum" for they can not grow. The Mudra helps that Klesha not become active during the concentration, but vigilance on our part is necessary.
The evocation of the soul, the Creator, the God
Because God, or the Creator, is not perceptible, and it is difficult to perceive reality without form, we introduced a concept, a concept evident that the mind can enter field: this concept is the Light symbolized as first formed by the solar disk is a black circle, brilliant. (A circle automatically takes all the space of the mental field).
The light that exists allows us to know this world without the light being perceives nothing. God is light and gives us light. He gives us the joy of living, as the reflection of any object that we see confirms our existence.
So we introduced a representation, an image, which is known by every human being. This became the first form of God as an "icon". Then the man said many parameters, standards and rules: these are the tenets that make the religion. But God remains the same: immutable and eternal, and to go to Him, we must go beyond religious dogma. The actual value of God is the most important thing in our lives. We must remain faithful to his conviction and representative picture we have of God.
An evocation of force is repeated.
Prayer
The notion of God or Creator and prayer are inseparable. Any object in the mind must be supported - in addition to the picture - sound by a factor which is the name or functions specific to the object. As soon as media goes, the other also disappears. In any process of holding an object in the mental field, it takes a picture and a verbal expression, that is to say the words and expressions that go with the subject. Expressions, or attributes, or qualities of an object are divine prayer. In the example of the solar disk, evoking with its shape and its attributes becomes a prayer.
Then there is a second type of prayer is the prayer of petition, prayer brings us something. Then there is the prayer of thanksgiving after each invocation: we thank God or the Creator of His presence in us.
We arrived after four days. Sri TK Sribhashyam ended the seminar with practice and the introduction of Mudra is done at sunrise and whose name says it all: Adityas Hrudaya (also called Surya Bhedana).
Our Master Sri TK Sribhashyam just returned from a pilgrimage to India was able to convey his strength and belief in spiritual values movingly and deep the whole group. The participants warmly thanked for this exciting and captivating seminar, which they called "the pearl."
