Nidra Yoga with James

"The secrets of the greatest mysteries of life are revealed and realized by grokking the wave-intercourse of respiration and circulation in the simple process of giving and receiving a quiet breath - the Current of Being."

The Amazing Secrets of the Yogi by Charles Haanel

'Who am I?' - the Yoga Koan

You are empty of a separate self; like the empty space of a bowl,
you function optimally through emptyness.

Universal Being can manifest only through the individual.
The individual can manifest only through the Universal.

You are Oneness.

"Let yourself be silently drawn by the stronger pull of what you really are…" ~ Rumi

			SPACE~FLOW-ERS A Flower is Being ~ Flowering A Flame is Being ~ Burning You are Being ~ Breathing
Don't believe me. Try holding your Breath. You can do it for a time because you have the same attributes and abilities as SOURCE (Universal Being) yet you are different in degree. Source energy causes you to breathe; it is breathing you and without its flow your primary centres of consciousness, your heart and brain, will cease to function in a matter of minutes; you are the image and likeness of SOURCE. (note: the degree of difference is determined by how well your energies are aligned with Source; perfect alignment means no degree of separation). Please see the profound implications of this. It means that what has been widely accepted as the most fundamental fact of life is perfectly backwards.

NISARGA YOGA is Yoga Nature's Way

Lotus Sutra - chanted by Buddhist Monks

A Flame is a spiritual being is a flow-er is not diminished when it lights another is sustained by breathing/passion always burns upward dispels darkness and negativity illuminates all that come under its influence consumes itself completely in service Fire is The Element of Transformation

 

Breathing or Breath-ing is the River of Life Breath-ing is its own Source, Sustainer, and Substance. The river of life flows through You and flow-ers as You.

 

You have the power to directly access and control the central and most important aspect of your being - Your Breathing... this is especially amazing because you do not have the same power to directly access or control other vital organs and systems like your digestive system, your lymph system, your liver, pancreas, or spleen, etc.

 

Thoughts are Things Einstein knew; he said, “The true sign of intelligence is not knowledge but imagination.” “Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life's coming attractions.” Mystery is but hidden knowledge. Change never changes yet all things are changed by change. "Thought is matter as much as the floor, the wall, the telephone, are matter. Energy functioning in a pattern becomes matter. That is all life is....Matter and energy are interrelated. The one cannot exist without the other, and the more harmony there is between the two, the more balance, the more active the brain cells are. Thought has set up this pattern of pleasure, pain, fear, and has been functioning inside it for thousands of years and cannot break the pattern because it has created it." ~ Krishnamurti

 

Although today's mass media presents Yoga as a physical practice, the ancient masters of Yoga clearly state that its foundation is mental. Even sage Patanjali gives the definition of Yoga as: "yogas chitta vritti nirodhah" (Yoga is the cessation of identification with the whirl of local mind).

Understand UNION with Universal Being and you will know the secret.

Conscious, Subconscious, SuperConscious

"Control of the mind is said to be the highest Yoga. It is like control of an unruly horse which must be made to obey its rider." ~ Bhagavata Purana, XI.20

 

Patanjali, the father of Yoga, is famous for his ancient eightfold path of yoga. The idea is to follow a path of positive mind control that leads one to the living understanding of Being that is so effective that for the greatest students and masters of yoga - this goal is the ONLY GOAL. Pantajali called it Samadhi. It is also known as Nirvana, Union with the Divine Intelligence, Cosmic Consciousness, Ultimate Bliss, Alignment with Natural Order.

"When the agitations of the mind are under control, the mind becomes like a transparent crystal and has the power of becoming whatever form is presented." ~ Patanjali

"An improvement in posture and breathing is not the sole nor even the primary aim of yoga. Instead, it is either a therapeutic method of freeing the mind from false beliefs, or the insight into ultimate reality, the dharmas, achievable by this method. Yoga is an intrinsic and integrated system consisting of metaphysics, the philosophy of mind, the theory of knowledge, ethics and the philosophy of language." ~ Patanjali

"All impressions and reactions are known as 'mental fluctuations' or 'thought-waves', and yoga is the control of thought-waves in the mind." ~ Patanjali

 

 

The Flow-er of Being

Space~Flow

The Power Within You - Intelligence

You cannot push the river. The beauty of life is the fact that it is in constant motion. Life is living. A dead thing has a pattern to it because it is static. When there is awareness of the living truth that life is flowing-living-motion, without resting place, then there is the cessation of all attempts to impose a pattern on it such that there is space where life is free to flow and flower according to its inate intelligence. Yoga is the Space of understanding Living Truth and harmonizing with its Flow.

Power is the possession of controlling influence.

Intelligence is the ability to recognize and establish order.

 

One extreme of your power is the masculine energy of your willpower; it is centered in your mind. This is Concentration whereby you focus your energy on a particular object or task. A shorthand way of speaking about this is, 'Making it Happen'.

 

The other extreme of your power is the feminine energy of your natural Being; it is centered in your heart. This is Meditation wherein the pure current of your presence is allowed to flow-er. This current is the river of your Being that you cannot push or stop; it simply is, and its nature is to flow. A shorthand way of speaking about this is, 'Letting it Happen'.

 

The WHEEL and The WAVE

The STAIRWAY to HEAVEN

Intelligence flows and flow-ers

The blessed inter-course of these fundamental extremes is Yoga as Living Relationship or Living Yoga. It is the whole that transcends the sum of its parts; it has embedded-corresponding planes of Intelligence and it flows (it flows from higher to lower planes and it flowers from lower to higher planes); it is current as the current moment and it is the eternal current of Intelligence-Being. This current is your True Power as it is Intelligence itself, and your direct connection with it is Conscious Breathing.

 

The iteration of Conscious Breathing is the secret that reveals the elusive obvious as inter-course coupling that is congruent with all levels of Being from the infinitesimally small to the infinitesimally large.

 

 

"The same stream of Spirit-Motion that runs through my veins night and day runs through the world and dances in rhythmic measures. It is the same Spirit-Motion that shoots in joy through the dust of the earth in numberless blades of grass and breaks into tumultuous waves of leaves and flowers. It is the same Spirit-Motion that is rocked in the ocean-cradle of birth and of death in ebb and in flow. I feel my limbs are made glorious by the touch of this world of Spirit-Motion and my self-actualization is from the Spirit-Motion throb of ages dancing in my blood this moment." ~ Rabindranath Tagore (translation James Traverse)

"The World is nothing but Mind. All is Mind." from the Lankavatara Sutra
this quote is not the words of an average person; they are the Buddha's actual words.

The mind is the Buddha, and the Buddha is the mind. ~ Bodhidharma

The Invocation from Isha Upanishad

om
purnamadah purnamidam
purnat purnamudachyate
purnasya purnamadaya
purnameva vashishyate

Om! That (invisible world) is a complete whole. This (visible world) too is a complete whole. From the complete whole only, the (visible) complete whole arose. Even after removing the complete whole from the (invisible) complete whole, still the complete whole remains unaltered and undisturbed.

Om Shanti ! Shanti ! Shanti !

Note how the description above perfectly describes Love and Space as Love and Space are always whole. And what comes out of the whole is Flow (energy) as Breathing.

Who sees all beings in his own Self, and his own Self in all beings, loses all fear. Upanishads, c. BCE 800

Yoga, like all transcendent spiritual sciences and arts, is the union-reconciling of opposites like physics and metaphysics, male and female, your doing and your being as Living Relationship.

It is self-evident that Life is Motion wherein the constant is self-similar change. The wisdom of seeing this fact is the invitation to align the energies of the movement called your doing with the living nature of your being. The process of consciously understanding and honouring this natural union is Nisarga Yoga.

You are Motion as the living stillpoint of complimentary extremes. You are simultaneously Physical and Metaphysical, Conscious and Subconscious. Your Health, Well-Being, and Success is determined by the Living Relationship of these two realms on all planes of Being. The best name for the fractal-holographic waveform inter-course of these two extremes is:

The Living UniVerse is an Integrated Binary Unit composed of Motion as the Living Relationship of its extremes. It is One Integrated Reality that is self-governed by one-set of irrefutable natural laws (like everything else the laws also evolve as they are living expressions of living intelligence) that have and are the binary spirit-nature of metaphysical and physical extremes of Space~Motion that are its Source, Sustainer and Substance.

In other words just as Breath is Life whereby you are breathing energy and have life; the UniVerse is Cosmic Breath that is and has its universal living laws.

Your direct connection with the Intelligence of the Living UniVerse is the central current of the energy of your Body-Mind called Breathing; Breathing is Living Relationship.

"We come spinning out of nothingness, scattering stars...
the stars form a circle, and in the center we dance." ~ Rumi

• form is emptyness | emptyness is form
• you are a functual form formlessly functioning
• your eyes, ears, nose, tongue, skin and brain
  have to be empty to perceive accurately

Breathing is the fractal-holographic interface between your body and your mind, your physical and ethereal universes; on the physical level it is the central current of your life as the octave of respiration and circulation; on the ethereal level it is the interdependent relationship of the octave of your nature and your spirit - the difference between realms is one of dimensions; they are the same in essence (this is also seen in the attempt to break down things like a hologram, a magnet, or waves that reveals smaller and larger wholes that are different in dimensions, yet their essence is the same; note what happens when you attempt to break down Silence or Space).

 

Mind into Matter When you understand opposites as extremes of the same thing then the process of converting one into the other is very clear. The neutral centre or dynamic stillpoint between extremes is the interface where the switchover happens. Einstein proved that Matter and Energy are extremes of the same thing. Your Body and Mind are also extremes of the same thing - Breathing is its HomeGround or Living-Balancing-Point between extremes. Breathing is the interface between your body and your mind. Breathing is more gross than your mind and more subtle than your body. Your Body and Mind are extremes of the same thing. Breathing is Energy-Motion. In a similar way Motion is the interface between Matter and Energy. Matter is Orderly Motion or in-form-motion (Potential or stored Energy); Energy is Motion that has been released from Matter or it is un-formed-motion (Kinetic Energy). Motion is to Matter as Circulation is to Your BodyMind; Motion is to Energy as Respiration is to Your BodyMind. Motion is the Movement of Mind that is more gross than Cosmic Consciousness (Mind) and more subtle than Materialized Energy. Motion or Energy is the HomeGround of Living Being; it manifests on embedded-corresponding planes of Intelligence-Being that are the same in kind yet different in degree.     Yoga is Union with SOURCE. SOURCE manifested YOU - YOU can manifest anything when you are in UNION with SOURCE as Space~Flow.

The most startling finding of modern science (especially Process Physics) is that there is no material substance in the UniVerse. Protons, electrons, quarks, and all of the “fundamental” particles that science has discovered all turn out to be various manifestations of motion and in-form-motion or 'structured energy' (information). Everything in the UniVerse is a product of this ever-moving, ever-changing motion. All that you experience physically is simply an interpretation of that Motion using your limited physical sensing. So in the most practical, physical sense, everything that you experience is the result of your mind’s interpretation of the Motion of the UniVerse.

Matter can be converted into energy and energy can be converted into matter because the substance of matter is energy (motion).

Modern scientists have irrefutably shown that the substance of things like your body is a living substance as coherent energy vibration and constant change. And, the facts that your body appears to have substance as solid liquid, gas, and plasma and that space appears to lack substance are simply delusions of human sensing. Thus today there is this grand contradiction between the irrefutable scientific fact that orderly energy vibration (Motion) is the substance of everything, and the fact that folks continue to believe and behave as if things like human bodies exist as material stuff. This leads to the inevitable questions:

Why?

Do you believe it because you see it?

Do you see it because you believe it?

Are both these forms of Seeing Mental Motion?

'Why would intelligent people treat something as if it is solid (stationary) when science has unquestionably proven that it is not? And why do the same people treat space as empty when the workings of our cell phones, radios, information technologies, energy body feelings, and the sensitivity of animals, etc. reveal that space is teeming with inter-dimensional energy?' (Modern scientists say that your body and atoms are 99.9999% space; this space has and is multi-vibratory substance where different degrees of it can occupy the same location in space and time without interference - like different video, audio and microwave channels or waves).

Obviously the answers to the questions above are that this is Mental Spirit-Motion as what human beings experience, and, it demonstrates that there are embedded corresponding planes of being that exist simultaneously; whether it is a delusion or not is irrelevant because this is simply what is perceived within the limitations of human sense doors and brain. And, functionally this works. An example is that I only have to trip and fall on a concrete sidewalk once in order to learn to avoid such encounters with sidewalks out of self-preservation.

This points to much more profound knowledge and wisdom:

• The UniVerse is Intelligent as coupling waves;

• The UniVerse is Living~Breathing;

• FLOW and SPACE are extremes of the SAME THING (a wave);

• The UniVerse is ONENESS: FLOW~SPACE - SPACE~FLOW;

• FLOW Creates SPACE;

• SPACE Contains FLOW;

• The Universe is Binary (one extreme is visible - the other invisible);

• The UniVerse is self-governed by one set of irrefutable laws;

• The OneSubstance of the UniVerse is Spirit-Motion as Energy in-form-ation (cosmos) and un-formed Energy (chaos);

• Materialized Motion is energy in-formation - you (and everyone else) provide information through your understanding of the spirit-nature of things and through your emotionally charged beliefs;

• You create the fabric of your life by weaving threads of Mental Motion with your understanding and emotionally charged beliefs;

• The primary thread of energy-motion is your breathing.

The knowledge is the fact that the laws that govern change are so orderly that Materialized Motion appears to your sense doors and brain as that which is labeled: Solid, Liquid, Gas, Plasma and Space~Flow.

The wisdom is seeing that you already knew intuitively that that which is outside the conventional range of human perceiving is the same substance as the perceived (the most extraordinary attribute of human being is that you are self-aware).

This concurs with the findings of our greatest scientists who see that the boundaries of things are simply delusions of limited human sensing; rather edges and being stationary are attributes within the definite realm of that which is seen; ultimately the infinite wave energies criss-cross and permeate each other on definite and infinite frequencies of Being (the motions within the visible range of natural human sensing account for the way things appear and thus our mental conclusions; we see the definite extreme of each other's body and the edges of things like rocks and planets while their infinite extremes and other corresponding planes remain invisible).

The Ground of Being is Living Ground
(you and the ground beneath your feet are moving)

The fourfold elements named: Air, Water, Earth, and Fire each have and is dual as spiritual and physical and they are plateau markers on the ascending-descending scale of Motion~Emotion as wave vibrations of change and order.

The fifth element, A-Ether, is an element like the others as it too has and is dual spirit-nature as Aether and Ether, and yet it is unlike the others as it is the most subtle octave of energy as motion-emotion or Being itself. A-Ether is the quintessential attribute of the eightfold wave inter~course of opposing waves that compose the Living Fractal-Hologram of the Universe.

(Note: a-ether is not motion-emotion within some unexplainable medium; rather it is motion-emotion itself as self-evident change, or, the constant movement of creation-destruction that is spirit-motion as the essential substance of the Living Universe; Space~Motion is the medium - the WAVE; THE WAVE IS AN ETHEREAL WAVE-FLAME; SPIRIT - THE WAVE (FLOW) IS IN SPACE AND - IT IS SPACE AND FLOW. What is seen and measured by scientists is the Wave Front that is holographically composed of more and more subtle embedded wave fronts [autopoies: is the process whereby an organization produces itself; literally, self-production] - the waves are the same in Kind yet different in DEGREE).

The best example of the dual spirit~nature of your Ethereal and Aethereal Being is experiential as it is obvious that the way you feel emotionally affects the way you feel physically. And although it is not as obvious the reverse is also true - when you are moved physically you are also moved emotionally. In this light the substance of your Being is the living inter~course of motion~emotion that actualizes as the stable human form (planes of being) called you.

Examples of these plateaus (planes) and change are obvious in your bodymind as the following words for and degrees of SPACE~FLOW:

• A-Ether is the quintessence of Energy Flow - the Living Life Force motion-emotion of Being; Current Flame; Living-Being;

Being has a dynamic pattern and yet
each breath and each human being is unique.

In light of all this movement and change it is not entirely accurate to say that you make changes because change (motion) is the spirit-nature of your energetic being; You are a Living Being of constant change. And yet it is completely accurate to say that you have the power to command change by releasing Motion from its present formation and in-forming it (your emotional response) to unfold in a particular order-formation by understanding and harmonizing your activities with the laws that govern the living spirit-nature of things.

The Ground of all Doing is Being

On the level of Being You are Spiritually Perfect

Moving Stillness of Being - Breathing Iteration

Being is a given; fractal movement as constant change is a given; and the iterations/flow of your breath is also a given (if either respiration or circulation stop for more than just a few minutes - you're physically dead; note how a body part wherein circulation is restricted is said to be 'asleep' because you feel nothing there and if the circulation remains restricted to that body part - it will die; in other words the principle 'Breath is Life' is true for any part and the whole).

Breathing is the relationship of extremes as Concentration-Energy and Meditation-Energy. Concentration and Meditation are the same in kind yet different in degree; their essence is the same as they are both Mental (ways of Seeing or Awareness).

The OneSubstance of Being is Motion as Living Energy. The consequence of exclusively concentrating on localized movement causes it to appear as separate-chaotic; meditative consciousness reveals that the fractal iterations of the whole have cosmic order. In light of these facts wisdom dictates that you align the movement of your doing with the inherent motion of your Being to realize the Living Union of Yoga and a life of harmony.

The practice of Nisarga Yoga focuses on the exploration of your nearest environment, the embedded multi-dimensional realms of your bodymind. And since your breathing is the inter-face between your body and your mind, then it is self-evident that yoga practice must be centered on the motion and movement of this central current of your Being. Nisarga Yoga honours this by allowing all activities to be driven by your breathing.

OneSubstance ~ FLOW
OneEssence ~ SPACE
OnePresence~YOU

iceberg-solid , ocean-liquid, cloud-vapor; ions-plasma;
it is all water in different forms, corresponding planes of being:
These things are the same in Kind yet different in Degree:

FIRE is The Element of Transformation:

Increase FLOW as 'heat'; see the trans-form-action: solid->liguid->gas->plasma
Decrease FLOW as 'heat'; see the trans-form-action: plasma->gas->liquid->solid
(these states of matter are examples of the elements: fire, air, water, and earth)

The HEART of YOGA

Nisarga Yoga is Yoga Nature's Way
Nisarga Yoga is Yoga's Middle Way

Yawn and Stretch

Stretch Your Heart; Stretch Your Mind;
Stretch Your Breath; Stretch Your Body

CENTRE is where all Energies Meet
The HEART is the CENTRE
The Way of the HEART is the MIDDLE WAY

Dynamic Balance: Relaxed yet Alert

In the practice of Nisarga Yoga the movements of your doing are centered on the orderly flow of your breathing as you stretch your breath and see that stretching your breath moves your body in predetermined ways; the balancing act of stretching your body and breath whereby you realize space in three physical dimensions in the NOW is the phase of establishing the stillpoint called the pose; then there is a switchover (also patterned on your breathing) wherein you switch from inhaling and 'making it happen' to exhaling and 'letting it happen', and, now you compliment the physical dimensions of space with mental space by relaxing the surface level activity of your mind; this phase is a period of sustained stillness called holding the pose and it is where the more global connection with Space~Flow is realized (there is no one holding it as you have allowed the surface of your mind to fall silent; yet it is not a collapse as the integrity of the form that you created is maintained by your natural intelligence such that the flow that you stimulated by stretching flows optimally in the space that you have made).

The result of the process described above is the synergistic orderly flow of the movements of your doing coupled with the Motion of your being whereby there is a stillness in their movement - Yoga. Thus your practice is the Way of Harmony as the Living Relationship of your doing and your Being.

At first this moving stillness is realized on the physical level with the widespread practical benefits to your health and well-being; as your understanding unfolds you realize that the same practice and process applies to all levels of Being and that the structure you see in the simple process of releasing and welcoming a quiet breath is the same throughout.

 

To be commanded Your Spirit-Nature must first be understood and obeyed.

Life is Energy-Motion:

Energy-Motion can never be created or destroyed
- yet it may be trans-formed-channeled.

You have the power to order change by first understanding that the UniVerse is Motion and that the laws that govern the change that is already and always unfolding are the irrefutable laws of Motion. This understanding is the means that consciously aligns your energies in accord with the spirit-nature of the UniVerse. Thus there is no conflict between your doing as making it happen, and your being as seeing it happen and Being the happening. Once the understanding of this fundamental truth is established, then you use True Imagination as Image + Action to cause the UniVerse to happily create the things you want in Life.

In other words you see that the irrefutable laws that govern change-motion also govern your life such that your life has a very definite structure and yet within the structure there are the countless possibilities of your free choice as what you understand and believe. Thus you have the power to control the direction of your life provided that you honour the laws that govern change-motion while you are actualizing your free choice.

Living means the flow of constant change. The conscious process of ordering change is a matter of in-forming energy in accord with the laws that govern the Living UniVerse of Motion.

 

Some folks say, "Beliefs create reality." Yet you could choose to believe something that is in conflict with living reality - like believing that your physical body is the totality of your Being. It is simply unwise to attempt to push the river (motion). Nisarga Yoga harmonizes with the current of Being and more accurately says, "Being~Space is a given. Within the structure of Being your understanding of the spirit-nature of things together with your emotionally charged beliefs have the power to command energy to be in-formed as the fabric of your life."

Your ability to think is wondrous and yet by itself thinking can never fathom the mysteries of the UniVerse. It is the sacred union of thoughts and feelings that gives birth to the flower of living consciousness that includes and transcends its parts as the Intelligence of your Heart wherein understanding is without limitation - it is spirit-motion-intelligence as its own knowing.

 

The Sanskrit word for both mind and heart is “mana”. Be wise - let your Mind know and your Heart speak.
