Four Powerful Concepts for Life from Yoga

The Philosophy of Yoga is a balanced system that can empower
our physical, mental, and spiritual being.
Understanding the concepts of Yoga
can help us greatly with our personal evolution.
Here are some of my favorites:

1. The cause of our suffering is ignorance.
What we don't know can hurt us and cause future difficulties.
Spiritual laws create our future, and so
knowledge of our spiritual side can solve, create, and heal.
by enriching the mind, problem solving, and better decisions become easier.
It is said that diseases are psychosomatic in origins, and can be reversed.

2. There is no physics without metaphysics.
The metaphysical laws – Laws of Spirit can be
more powerful than the currently known laws of physics.
That is why synchronicity, manifeatation, and miracles can happen,
and this is important knowledge that mankind is currently lacking.

3 Yoga is learning to experience a higher vibrational energy of life,
by mastering of your most powerful organ – your mind.
One of the more powerful tools in empowering one's mind is meditation.
In the state of meditation, the mind is tremendously brighter,
stronger, and it possesses a far greater command of your organs,
hormones, and senses, and healing abilities.

4. The most important practice of Yoga is suggestion.
These are also known as autosuggestions, or affirmations.
They are a most powerful force that affects your subconscious.
Visualizations will help to empower suggestions.
They will work. Be persistant and patient.
Develop confidence, expectation, and faith
by positive suggestions, at least three times daily,
morning noon and night.

Many of these laws of metaphysics are starting to be used
by Councilors, Cognitive Therapists, Angel Practitioners,
Healers, Mystics, and New Age Religions,
and self empowerment authors.


For some of you this is all you'll need.
For others like myself who need greater understanding or depth,
here is more about how it works.

Your subconscious holds the sum total of your life’s experiences
as interpreted by you – right or wrong.
Many are negative or wrongly interpreted, and
this is why positive thinking, re-evaluation,
and affirmations can be a tremendous help.
The sum total of all your interpretations determine your ego.
(The “superego” is that which you choose to display to the world.)

Here is one analogy of the subconscious, and how affirmations work:
Look at the subconscious as a bucket of water,
and look at the affirmations as stones.
Each affirmation that you drop in the bucket
seems to do very little,
and you may not, at first, believe what you are saying.
Keep it up, because after a time, as the stones start to add up,
the “no”, or your mental resistance - begins to get smaller and smaller.

When your water bucket is at about 1/4th full of stones,
the mind starts to show signs of saying yes,
and soon you will be, and you will see
people reacting different to you.
As the bucket adds up, and more and more water is displaced,
You will be very likely be encouraged by things
that are working for you - like never before.
This recognition bolsters your confidence and faith,
and that can empower the process exponentially.
By the time you get towards half way, you will be very encouraged,
and well on your way to manifesting a new life.

As we are primarily creatures of feelings and thinking,
when we build our egos,
we find ourselves feeling better about ourselves,
our lives, and others.
When we feel better and become happier,
and our success rates improve, and
we begin to achieve things we never thought possible.
