II- Protection and Self-Defense
" Psychic
well-being and psychic self-defense are two sides of the same
coin, just
as are physical health and resistance to disease.
Each person (and every living thing) is
surrounded by an electromagnetic force field, or AURA,
that can provide the means to psychic
self-defense and to dynamic well-being. "

II- Ayurvedic and Yogic Purification
" If
the physical body is rid of toxic substances,
then it is possible to hold the breath for as long as you like.
The impediments to the
practice of pranayama are removed.
...
for the purification of the self (Atmavisuddhaye).
.... in
order to cleanse the mirror.
If
the mirror is clean, then the truth is reflected without any further effort.
When
the heart is clean, the truth is reflected without any further effort.
Purification is acquired by the regular performance of the Sat-kriyas.

VI- The Power of Yoga
"Stars
do it. Sports do it. Judges in the highest courts do it. Let's do it: that yoga
thing.
A
path to enlightenment that winds back 5,000 years in its native
Sounds
great.
Namaste,
as your instructor says at
the end of a session:
the
divine in me bows to the divine in you.
But let's up the ante a bit.
Is yoga more than the power
of positive breathing? Can it, say, cure cancer? Fend off heart attacks?
Rejuvenate post-menopausal women? Just as important for yoga's application by
mainstream doctors, can its presumed benefits be measured by conventional
medical standards? Is yoga, in other words, a science?
By
even asking those questions, we provoke a clash of two powerful cultures,
East and West, two very different ways of looking at the world.
Yoga
is more holistic;
it's interested in the integration
of body, breath and mind."

VII- Astrology and our Health
" Since
the Zodiacal Signs represent the Five Elements ( Ether , Fire, Air,
Earth & Water ),
the ancient astrological savants assigned everything in
the Universe to a planetary ruler,
and considered all as the manifestation of the Elemental Five and their
respective qualities
-
hot and dry, cold and dry, hot and humid , cold and humid.
Jupiter
rules "Kapha" and the Sun "Pitta' ( the
three humors of Ayurveda ).
These elements were understood in a physical
& metaphysical sense, as per the principle
"
As Above, So Below ".
Many body constitutions are
defined in Ayurveda.
The Phlegmatic ( predominance of Kapha),
the Bilious ( preponderance of Pitta )
& the Windy ( predominance of Vata ).

You have only to tune in to the creative, intuitive and artistic side of
the brain
-the right side-
and you will be able to draw accurate and imaginative portraits, landscapes ,
still lifes...
(Betty Edwards-Drawing on the right side of the brain)

" We
say "I feel anxiety and fear, and that's causing stress and in particular
it's causing tension in my neck and shoulder."
So
we breathe deeply to soothe the anxiety. We review the events that led to the
onset of those feelings, and in the process they lose their grip on our nervous
system. We intentionally relax our shoulder and neck to prevent the stress and
tension from building into a permanent condition.
Yoga
and Ayurveda gives us control of ourselves. It helps cut through the layers of
mis-identities that arise in response to our actions, experiences and feelings.
It calms the frenzy, clears the clutter and allows us to get back in touch with
ourselves.
as
Patanjali, one of the great yoga sages, said:
Yogashcittavrittinirodhah
(Yoga stills the fluctuations of the mind).
Tada drashthuh svarupe' vasthanam (Then the true self appears.)"
