Yoga Magick Current

World peace is possible, but each of us are required to give birth to it.  Breathe life into the world that is you, through right conduct, recovering your power-- your true self.  When we can embody truth, we can positivly impact our community.  However, in the process, we must understand that which we call "drama".   Life is full of struggles, however we often tend to focus in on when these struggles are poorly handled, and call it "drama".  No. Grumpy Kat says "NO"!  This is an unconstructive dead end dispute.   Drama is necessary for human progress.  This is why it is so easy for us to rationalise and readily defend the importance in the creative consciousness outpourings of others, known as theater, cinema, and books.  We are placing our own stories on the backburner in favor of other people's mental products.   We are hindering our own ability to tap into the innate revelatory and powerful psychic potential locked within each of us. True real

Yoga is yoga.  No matter what name any one person decides to assign to the asana practice they chose to share, please understand an individual who is inspired to create their own form of yogasana* is coming from a place of limited (not infinite) understanding on the conceptual scope and depth of yoga.  This is not necessarily bad.  It is, however an act and commitment to selling a physically focused specialisation, which constricts the potentials of humanity to the physiological world.  This focus swells the idea of flexibility and fancy workout clothes to the point of it appearing (especially to the beginner) to be a central focus.  This branding of this largely underestimated sacred beast is in its nature a distortion in yoga's unification message.   When you find the yoga practice that is fully appropriate for your wellbeing, you have found your teacher---you  will have found your self.  *yogasana- the little part of yoga that has to do with the movement, postures, and

Dear (yoga studio), I have enjoyed what free time I have been able to spend at the (yoga studio) and find all the teachers I have come into contact with absolutely lovely, so anatomically knowledgeable and alignment oriented.  I really appreciate the stressing of the fundamentals such as attention to exercises in fine-tuning the evenness of foot pressure through all four corners in both level one and level two classes. A little bummed out that I am yet to make it to a level 3 class. Anyways, it is always nice to be reminded of the little things and guided to better alignment in even the simplest of poses.  Always a nice and humbling reminder to know it is okay to kick it down a notch or two....  I always find it so hard to go continue paying a yoga studio AND do what the teacher is asking when my energy inspires me to move differently (take a deeper version of a pose or deviate to an entirely different one occasionally), as I have built upon my practice for over 15 years.  I am alr

That which the personality is *actually* comprised of is seldom understood. We are not how we look, we are not what we do, we are not our habits, we are not this body, what then are we?  We are INFINITE mind/soul/consciousness/spirit, yet so often we fearfully and unwittingly intercept that infinity through the impulse to shamefully adorn the naked brilliance of our own woefully underestimated core internal divine being.  We think we do our selves a justice by clothing our Shakti (psychic power)/Self in concepts of what/who we are.  Ah, but this is how we fall victim to finite, mortal (materialistic/temporal) thought when this (that which is our very Self) is the precise nothing-thought which is vital for so-called enlightenment. So, how do we TRULY realize that which we call the "Self"? By ceasing to identify with and turn to any external for comfort or refuge. This is the so-called "ego death" so many seek.  However.  Nothing truly goes away.  Ego is simpl

A lluring Venus energy comes with the Shakti. It is black tantric dark attractiveness...  Black never TRULY meant bad, though. This is just crazy emotional hyperbole talk which has developed over time from the constraints and regulations that were imposed after rulers saw the effects of the raw power of liberated joyfully fearless lust that could be basically leveraged over the laypeople. ...So they had to make a few ad justments... Forbidding certain acts and behaviors.  Krishna = charisma Kali = black Krishna and Kali---although these names are often associated with particular gender and appearance depictions, the two are interchangeable qualities of the one personality of godhead. It is an blasphemous abomination to divide schools of thought such as Tantra and Yoga into factions. Frankly I find it ironic that this fact is not more widely understood, as it clearly goes against rational reason. I even feel a little silly having to say two different things for two practices which

Hey, you.   Have you ever practiced yoga for the sake of a change of perspective, modification of behavior, and to gain more discipline in your daily actions?  No asana aside from PERHAPS VIPASSANA (the seated practice of abstaining from giving into distraction and doing nothing but observing and employing insight)  will help you to REALIZE YOUR TRUE SELF.   However, I bet if you imagine  A GUN TO YOUR HEAD, you will start to think a little more critically about the consequences of your chosen attitudes,  how that feeds into perspectives, and affects actions.   Perhaps if you imagine that a bullet will be blasting its way through your skull if you react out of impulse to something you find emotionally TRIGGERING, you may just broaden your view on life. For instance, do you HATE things that are beyond your control? Do you hate people because of their actions and words?  Well, then you might as well crawl into a hole and not come out until you have a revelation on what the self actu

This just in from the collective--  Some more global neurons connecting and another growth-leap of awakening to deeper understanding.  Now de-mystify, tone down the quantum woo  BS and ground in THE REAL.  THERE IS NOTHING NEW UNDER THE SUN. That is why "NEW AGE" is OVER... Full circle time.  Know what I'm saying? If you don't.... I am sure these words will probably be ignored by the people who need to know this warning the most, but soon, too many people will be wising up to the fact that hey, I've said it once, I'll keep saying it!!  YOGA IS FINE THE WAY IT IS and it is human beings who are not, as so many attempt to re-invent something we are yet to accomplish true embodiment through!  When one desires to put their own little flairs, twists and turns on something, it is like taking a classic piece of literature and making it 'hip' and 'modern', while all you do is produce PURE CHEESE WHIZ.  Yeah.. Not even real cheese, yo.. Sheesh.  

Pratyahara  means to turn the senses toward within oneself. Prati- counter/away/against (and can also mean TOWARD or to OBSERVE) Ahara- food or anything taken into ourselves. I would also like to extract the word "hara" from "Pratyahara", to make an interesting point... Hara - Energetic center, also associated with what we refer to as "the second chakra", called Swadisthana [sweetness] (womb -- can still be symbolic in males as that very source of self residing within us all.) Hara also refers to Shiva, who represents the essential embodiment of pure consciousness, and is also translated as destroyer/remover/seizer. Now, pure consciousness sounds great, but how is this also seen as 'destroyer/remover/seizer', why would we be turning toward removal and what are we removing?  Often spiritual practitioners turn to the mantra of HARA so that anarthas (impurities) are removed.  Impurities commonly addressed are those such as emotionally corrup
