Guest guest Posted August 2, 2001 Report Share Posted August 2, 2001 WHEN YOU DO THE POSTURE, FLOW By Yogi Amrit Desai Every time you finish a yoga posture, allow yourself to enter into celebration of deep release. This period that follows the actual performance of posture holding is the other half of the posture. If you miss it, no matter how well you have performed, you have gone only half way. Your integrative process is most active in the interim period when you may think you have already finished. Guide the released energy from unconscious holding patterns to the light of consciousness. At the conclusion of each posture pause, relax and focus your inward gaze and attention on the third eye. Guiding the energy released from body blocks to the third eye is a very important part of the yoga posture. Integration continues regardless of where you are - while actively engaged in moving into or holding the posture, in transition, at rest, or in a complementary posture. When you are engaged in integrative consciousness, you are in a spiritual posture that transcends your physical posture. Feel your im-paired body-mind relationship being made whole, becoming one. There is time for pose and there is time for repose. In repose, even when your body is deeply relaxed and restfully non-active, you are in active integration. This integration is triggered during the active conscious practice of posture and consolidated at all other stages of your practice of yoga. There is no conclusion to the posture when you are established in a posture of consciousness. [image] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 2, 2001 Report Share Posted August 2, 2001 Dear Dharma Singh, Thank you so much for this quote by By Yogi Amrit Desai. She said it perfectly. I will use this from now on to help explain HOW to do yoga. I have included it below in case any erased it. This is very valuable information.

Guest guest Posted August 2, 2001 Report Share Posted August 2, 2001 Thanks! It's a quote that I pass on to my classes. Very good info. He is a very precious being and his Kripalu teachings work for many and make for a good marriage with Kundalini.
