Many people have told me they are the lightest they’ve ever been, and feel the best they’ve ever felt when they practice yoga. If you do yoga regularly with a group of people, you can watch them transform. This applies both to people who are just starting their practice, and to people who have done yoga for years, who seem to go on to ever-finer levels of beauty. It is not superficial. Rather, it is a peeling away of the meretricious constructs that cover the perfect expression of Divinity that is our true nature.

YOGA LOOKS AT THE MIND
Our success as a species is largely due to our intelligence, out capacity for thought. The mind has become very good at what it does. Success has spurred it on to greater aspirations. Now it wonders if it would be better off on its own, and teases itself with notions of a virtual reality. The mind entertains itself with imaginings of ‘everything ‘ just being thought. It forgets the requisite coalescence that allows it to exist, making consciousness and thought possible. To state it mildly, the mind has thought itself into a state of imbalance. Yoga reveres balance.

APANA
In the lower core of the body, between the anus and the navel, a unique form of pranic energy,’apana’ in Sanskrit, is found. It is concerned with the assimilation of food, waste removal, and sexual function. Apana is also the energy that pushes us out of the womb during birth and is often referred to as pelvic prana. Apana is involved with material existence, but carries the latent potential to transform into spiritual energy.
When we focus our attention on an area of the body, we energize the object of our attention. ENERGY FOLLOWS ATTENTION.

ORIGINS
There are similarities in the belief systems of the Celtic peoples (the first historical occupants of Europe north of the Mediterranean) and the beliefs of the Aryan peoples (settlers of Northern India 6000 years ago who fostered a continuous yogic tradition to the pesent. This in not a coincidence. Their roots in pre-history are from the same ancestors. WEIGHT LOSS THOUGH YOGA, JEWEL IN THE LOTUS page 104.
THE WAY
Each of us has a personal path. The closest thing to ‘sin’ is not to follow that unique way that only you know. Your road map is karma (action), that your spirit can read, as seekers have done through the ages. Joy is the sign you’re on course — follow your bliss.
TARA — Yoga Symbol
YOGA MYTHOLOGY Said to have appeared when the Buddha of Compassion shed a tear overwhelmed by all the suffering he saw humanity experiencing. The tear became Tara who offered to aid in the task of relieving misery. She represents all the positive feminine attributes and feels special empathy towards her sisters. Buddha represented in her feminine form, Tara translates ‘star’ and ‘sister’ from the Sanskrit. Coming in many forms symbolized by different colors signifying emphasis on varying traits, she is always shown with six eyes on different parts of her anatomy.

YOGA REVERES BALANCE
If the earth were a little closer or further away from the sun, if the moon wasn’t balanced in orbit acting as a stabilizer, the planet wouldn’t have been able to foster consciousness in this human form. An intricate balance of hot and cold gasses, liquids and solids form this womb, Mother Earth. WEIGHT LOSS THROUGH YOGA, JEWEL IN THE LOTUS page 44.
READ THE BOOK
If there is a book that answers the universal questions you are hesitant to even consider because our culture pretends those questions are unanswerable: Who you really are and what you are doing here. The natural purpose of existence and how to live with meaning. The deep underlying truth explaining everything. Wouldn’t you want to read that book?
HOW THE PYRAMIDS WORK — Esoteric Yoga
The Light Energy Matrix reveals properties common to other energy matrixes. As most easily understood, exemplified by the Sound Energy Matrix—an octave. The seven colors of the spectrum plus the half-notes at the base and top of the range, straddling. The prism separates the essence of the white light into the different wave lengths. The pyramid can be thought of as two prisms, occupying the same space, perpendicular, focusing the mid-range where the yellow sun energy (apogee of the physical) meets the green love energy — the beginning of the Spiritual.
