Guest guest Posted March 14, 2001 Report Share Posted March 14, 2001 for anyone, especially newbies, that grapple with why yoga can lead to spiritual enhancement, have a look at the john scott book. i've had it for a while but pretty much just checked out the asana portions.<br><br>The other night I started at the beginning (wow, what a concept!) and really enjoyed his section on the 8 limbs (page 14-15) It nailed some things that I couldn't put together in my head about why the physical nature of ashtanga leads you down paths, limbs -towards becoming spiritual or more so,getting your act together, whatever. He also related yamas and niyamas to asana practice and hit on key points like preventing injury, ambition, etc. I just couldn't get this stuff before really or never could articulate the process of how asana becomes more than physical so it was a really enlightening little section for me.<br><br><br>on other subjects- didn't someone in the club make a FAQ- seems like we have new people coming in asking the usual questions, would be good to make reference to it now and again<br><br>and Edenlotus- how are you doing??????!!!!<br><br><br>s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
