funishing asanas

[Guest guest]

Has anyone had any interesting experiences during <br>the finishing asanas?

[Guest guest]

I've had lots of feelings of extreme joy,

complete with tingles up and down the spine. Once during a

guided meditation at Yoga Works a very strong

realization of the heart chakra and more bliss!<br><br>Others

please share, this is a great question!

[Guest guest]

Aha, it's good to know that there are others out

there to talk to about this. I've only been doing

Ashtanga for 4 months but recently I've had some

experiences that are difficult to describe. I'll try.<br>

-There may be a focusing awareness.<br> -A centering

coming together.<br> -A focal expansion of stillnes.<br>

-The most attention grabbing was like a pouring,

encompassing flow. <br> That's about the best I can do to

describe what happened to me. Any clues or thoughts

[Guest guest]

Maybe its best to take the experiance as the

clue, and go beyond thought!<br><br>If what the yogis

say is true, and the goal is found via stilling of

the mind (good luck in my case!) it sounds like you

may have had a taste of if. Anyway i belive that the

series can cause certain energy flows and they in turn

cause these sensations. Begginers report these often.

Maybe because 1) They have more blockages, 2) Their

minds are more open, there are no expectations of any

experiance. I had strange feelings too, at first, that i

described as overwhelming peace. I think they are go with

the territory. Now they don't come as often, but i

don't feel any loss for it. I think its just a step on

the path.<br><br>I'm no guru or expert, these are

just some thoughts to stimulate discusion and personal

reflection on the meaning of it all.
