Bramacharya- continence, the constraint of wasting vital energy that can help with mental focus and

When we use the forces of vitality wisely, we can evolve and transcend the patterns that keep us in the wheel of karma.


For example when we try to please someone and give too much in energy or even in a materialistic way, we  only experience pain back in the long run.


The pain is the fall again from the sensory high in that moment.


We are unconscious of working from a place of wanting to be rewarded in some way perhaps emotionally to lift our spirits up, albeit temporarily.


The object or offering can also lose its quality when we are looking for an end goal.


We are also saying we are not enough and allowing  an injustice to ourself.


This is all lower knowledge and does not bring us out of the never ending cycles at play.


The higher knowledge would be to lead us to Self realisation.

Those who are pure in heart, practice meditation and conquer their senses and possessions shall attain the immortal Self.

It is the innermost Self and is joy.


We will look at not pushing into the postures via the attachments of the muscles but opening the belly of the muscles, to find that  equanimity in body/mind.


Conquering over use of body, increasing vital energy and bringing the mental focus into higher wisdom.

We will meditate on the innermost stillness to experience that which is beyond the senses.


Om Shanti
