Why Hindu Mythology Is Still Relevant in Yoga

YJ factor Andrea Rice went behind the scenes at YJ LIVE! in New York City with mythology expert and also Prana Flow yoga exercise instructor Reefs Brown to reveal ways Hindu mythology still matters in today's globe. Want more from globally prominent yoga teachers? Come practice with us face to face at YJ LIVE! San Diego, June 24-- 27. Register now!

Hinduism is the world's earliest religious beliefs still in technique as well as the third largest-- with over a billion fans. Hindu mythology encompasses a significant body of narratives handed downed since ancient Vedic times (regarding 1500-- 500 BC), though no specific day is recognized. However it's essential to keep in mind: Hinduism and also its mythological counterpart are not totally the same.

Since the dawn of humanity, our ancestors have actually used the car of storytelling to attempt to understand the human condition. From Aesop's fables to Carl Jung's concept of archetypes and the cumulative subconscious, there is limitless attraction with comprehending the mind or pride-- and what makes us tick. When it comes to yoga and also meditation in the West, Hindu folklore could frequently be polarizing amongst professionals. Some incorporate the old beginnings into their practice, while others avoid any kind of signs of dogma.

Why So Numerous Western Yoga exercise Teachers Prevent Mythology

At YJ LIVE! in New York, mythology expert and Prana Flow yoga exercise instructor Coral Brown exposed the usual false impression that practicing the Hindu religious beliefs as well as educating its mythology are one and also the same. She likewise demystified why these ancient trainings are still relevant today, despite emotionally watered-down mainstream methods to exercising yoga exercise. "The folklore is the yoga exercise!" Brown claimed with excitement. "We relocate away from it due to the fact that we can't all explain it entirely. And given that we do not have that education and learning, we don't show it, because we have no idea it."

Or, we do not intend to anger people.

Brown said that workshops adorned with spiritual deities commonly push away students or even turn them away. "Those people require white area that they can project their very own pictures into," she added. She repeated that folklore is the essence of yoga exercise-- the concepts acquired from the trainings are just what make the technique what it is. Take Ganesha, as an example-- the widely known elephant-headed remover of challenges. Brown explained the plump, sensible divine being as one of the most easygoing and also non-denominational, which is why he shows up in workshops as well as on residence altars most frequently. The premium qualities of Ganesha are simple to explain in layperson's terms, but past that, many instructors have actually disinfected viewpoint out of wariness of angering students.

Then there's OM, of course. The spiritual Sanskrit symbol and also prehistoric sound of the universe. Regardless of being extensively accepted, shouted, accentuated, as well as also tattooed by many mainstream yogis, it's a sure thing that its beginnings are not fully comprehended by several experts. Some teachers might decide to omit OM from their practice completely, for fear of transforming students away. Just what if everybody knew that OM represents the four states of consciousness, instead than some kind of spiritual symbol? "We have actually extracted the yoga exercise out of yoga exercise due to the fact that we wish to make it a neutral location where individuals can come and have their very own encounter," Brown claimed. "So they simply maintain it tidy and neutral, and in doing that the essence is simply dripping out as well as obtaining diluted."

Using Folklore to Instruct real Essence of Yoga

When we can see mythology as truth essence of yoga and show philosophies that drive humanity onward with mythical principles in mind, that's when the spiritual preconception starts to fade away. "Whether you call it Hanuman or discuss commitment, consistency, and loyalty, as well as simply turning up-- you can chat regarding the concepts without saying the name or having the images," she said. To puts it simply: You could instruct folklore, without making use of mythical terms.

Many instructors, myself included, share the messages of yoga exercise with pupils without necessarily understanding their origins. Rather, we discuss our experience with a technique that helped us reach our possibility, as well as what we have actually gotten and absorbed from various other educators along the road. Yet by comprehending even the fundamentals of Hindu mythology, we could opt to recognize the message or lesson by its Hindu name as well as put even more of a human face on it. "It's the iconography that represents who and exactly what our struggles are, and also those struggles are still real," Brown said.

A program of hands in Coral's YJ LIVE! course exposed that not a solitary yogi existing that day understood exactly how numerous Hindu gods existed. Brown joked that 108 is always a great hunch, but disclosed that there's really just one god or resource with many facets. Each one of us represents the many faces of those divine beings. So whether it's Ganesha, Lakshmi (the siren of spiritual wide range), or Saraswati (the goddess of understanding), when the archetype of a god or siren resonates with you, you're reminded of what could be missing out on in your life. "Yes, different stories can often bring about dispute-- but that's just how we undergo the fires of makeover and also change,' Brown said.

Prana Flow Massage

Prana ist reine Lebensenergie, die durch den ganzen Körper fliessen kann, wenn Körper, Geist und Seele im Einklang sind. Fliesst das Prana ungehindert, fühlen wir uns vital und voller Lebenslust. Mit sanfter Massage und gezielten Druck werden die verschiedenen Energiepunkte am Körper angeregt und energetische und sexuelle Blockaden aufgespürt. Alte Wunden die noch im Energiesystem gespeichert sind, dürfen sich zeigen und auflösen. Die freigesetzte Energie wird im Körper ausgestrichen und verteilt. Sobald die Energie wieder fliessen kann, wird hauptsächlich nur noch mit dem feinstofflichen Körper gearbeitet.

Auf diese Weise können intensive Energiewellen, bis hin zu orgastischen Gefühlen den Körper durchströmen. Das sexuelle Erleben wird danach intensiver, es unterstützt auf natürliche Weise eine frei fliessende Lebensenergie. Dadurch ist die Prana Flow Massage auch ein sanfter Einsteig und eine Alternative für Frauen und Männer, die keine intime Berührungen wünschen.

The Essence of Motivation

Yoga is everywhere.

Growing up in the western world and being heavily influenced by a traditional Christian mindset very often means that we have been spoon-fed from an early age on the ideology that God exists apart from our physical world in another dimension of being and that we have to somehow "earn our way back" in order to be in its presence. When we start practicing Yoga, we instantly and eagerly transfer this subconscious energy of the inaccessible God of our childhood right to the new system where it becomes the all dominating term "enlightenment"  that now towers over us - something that we are going to achieve once we have been "good enough" which translates in Yoga terms to having spend sufficient hours breathing, sweating and bending, having wholeheartedly sung enough songs of devotions or mantras of divine wisdom and other rules and regulations that the ahamkar feverishly postulates in order to prove that it needs to exist so it can show us the way. Don't get me wrong: blissful devotion and the joys that come from a dedicated practice definitely can be essential expressions of our deeply felt love for existence (and of course also the ahamkar had deliberately been created as a tool), but a lot of us barely question our true motives once we have jumped onto the now oh-so-fashionable train of Yoga. But Yoga is about consciousness and the reality of what is, so we better start looking.

Truth is that in the western world we are so used to directly go head on after "what drives us" that we seldomly take a breather and stand back taking in the grander picture and literally becoming conscious(ness) of "what really goes on behind the curtain" (or call it veil). The "brutal" reality is that the ego (or call it your persona, what you identify with) going after something that - when "achieved" - sets it apart from the rest of existence and grants it a spiritual VIP status in a safe haven is nothing else but the expression of the deepest ignorance of higher truth.

No wonder we are so used to confusing the levels to which truth applies: Many of us have been born into a system in which we are used to getting around in rigid metal boxes called cars (also "auto" - which actually means "self") that shield us from everything around us - especially nature - in which we disconnectedly rush from A to B without being in touch with what we are going through or passing - even if this tells us the real story:

Are we finetuned enough so we can consciously interact with what unfolds around and within us?

Have we cultivated our agni - our fire of assimilation, digestion, transformation?

How well equipped are we on a spiritual, emotional and mental level to come to a higher understanding of what transcendentally is being played out right in front of us and how the power of our conscious intention, clear choice and subsequent action will - like a homeopathic remedy - definitely make a lasting change in the overall morphogenetic field that is being on display?

In the end, this is our service! This is our individual and collective evolution!

We always think that we have to get somewhere, (usually into the next challenging asana) go some place (this fantastic workshop that we actually don't have the money for - yet), be some how (always smiling, never sad .. you get my drift) in order to have it better, feel better, have finally achieved something or have made peace with a certain issue that's haunting us. Just for now ask yourself: what if this is never going to happen? What if there is no static "flatline" blissed out state that you will "own" and sit on one day no matter what  - a final "end state" that will have become your own little private energetic Fort Knox behind which you can hide from the rest of existence? What if there is nothing you have to run after, because the most valuable gifts that come from the Self are not achieved by the active efforts of the ego but given to it in grace once you surrender by opening up and start to listen to the moment.

The resistance we feel to this is actually the pain that radiates from our own state of disconnection  - disconnection from our breath, our thoughts and emotions, our physical body and our own spiritual truth, disconnection from what is real within and around us. And so we start running after something - usually something external and difficult to achieve, be it that asana or "enlightenment" -  not questioning our own true essential motive behind this drive. In Vinyasa Flow, we open ourselves to consciously being with, listening to and embodying the eternal wisdom of shakti - the spontaneous expression of higher intelligence that informs all beings - and once you have had the experience of being "in the zone", you certainly agree that it is usually so fulfilling that the notion of "going after something" that is somewhere else but now would never voluntarily enter your mind and heart. And why would it? This nourishing connection that leaves no desire unfulfilled can only be made in the present moment. You will always be in a dynamic flow, but you do not need to be in a disconnected rush -  ever. So next time you catch yourself running to this next appointment with a million thoughts dashing through your mind and your breath in a shallow, irregular state, step aside internally and come home into the moment of now, especially if you think you cannot afford to do it. This is living yoga - everything you need will spring forth from it and what you are looking for might be right in front of your eyes.

Yoga is everywhere!
