In yoga we
use the postures and the breath to help us establish balance, improve flexibility
and find strength, as well as a sense of tranquility. In yoga the cleansing of the
mind is called the cleansing of the astral channels. This cleansing takes place
so that we can arrive at higher levels of consciousness.
The astral
channels correspond to the physical nerves. The nerves are the only part of our
body that never regenerated during our lifetime. The astral channels are higher
mental channels that connect us to the spiritual force of the universe. Just as
we reach out and experience touch through the sensation of our nerves, we have
the ability to reach out with our mental force and touch higher levels of consciousness.
We do this through the study and implementation of the Yamas and Niyamas which are the abstentions and observances. These
cleanse the mind state and allow us to reach higher levels of consciousness by cleansing
the astral channels. The posture and the breath help us to cleanse the astral channels
associated with the body. Together they create a state of purity in body and mind.
To understand
these focus on your spine. Think of it as a long channel from which we move
energy from the lower levels to the higher lives of being.
Over the next
several months we are going to work on opening and cleansing the astral
channels in both body and mind by focusing on the yamas and the niyamas. So let’s get started.
When the astral
channels are clear the body becomes healthier and the mind becomes calm and serene.
By gaining control over the life force
we raise our level of consciousness so that the every day experiences of life become
a blur in comparison to the higher levels of consciousness. This simply means
that life becomes what life does.
Clear the polluted energy out of your body
and your mind and you will begin to live a life that is healthy, happy and peaceful.
