The yoga path

The Vedas are one of the oldest texts written. Eastern wisdom like Yoga and Ayurveda are based on this. The Vedas are compiled by the seers from a very high level of consciousness. They are written in Sanskrit and consist of verses called sutras (+/- 5 cm text). There are many sutras. What is described in a sutra, to our mind, to summarize in ten books. In the sutras it is about to use intuition in all experiences. The intuition is essential to achieve the goal in a transfer and realize.

Intuition

The sutras so require; use intuition instead of intellect or mind. The question is of great importance, how far is the discernment developed in an individual?

The physical posture (asanas), energy centers (pranayama) and energy management (pratyahara). The last three are concentration (dharana), meditation (dhyana) and the lighting (samadhi). The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali written by IK Taimni are an essential value for the yoga student or interested in yoga philosophy.
