Why Practice Yoga?
Between Earth and Sky
"Yoga" has become a brand of sorts, sometimes used to sell various
products and services, often unrelated to its original purpose. Yet, in truth,
yoga is not a name or product of any kind, but rather it is a pathway; it
is a way to get from one place to another, from darkness into light, from
confusion into enlightenment. It is the pathway of experiencing something
beyond your mere physical existence, taking you to a place where anything
and everything is possible. In short, yoga is the pathway to manifesting
a fulfilling life.
The word ‘yoga' literally means "union". Yoga is the union, the connection,
between you and the existence of infinite possibilities. Yoga is a form of high-level
awareness, achieved through ongoing practices, postures, and breathing, with
a specific goal in mind.
The purpose of Yoga is not to get a 'cute yoga butt', although on the
journey to higher consciousness, you'll be moving in ways that may
grant you that bit of enhanced rear-end anatomy. However, we're betting that
you may be more interested in the real goal of yoga, once you get a taste of
it.
Yoga supports your Divine Purpose in life, that of becoming an excellent human being. The practice of Yoga encourages you to think of yourself first as a spiritual being, inhabiting a body that was designed to contain a portion of Divine Consciousness. Through Yoga, you will move, breathe and concentrate in an exceedingly specific manner that encourages the level of consciousness necessary to experience your Higher Self, your union with the Infinite, your ‘Sat Nam'.
Other forms of yoga may eventually take you to an elevated level of awareness,
but the question arises: How long is the journey? How long will it take to
get from here to creative enlightenment? Yoga dramatically shortens
the path. It's been reported that a person may practice any other form of yoga,
such as Hatha yoga, daily for 20 years, even while living an isolated lifestyle,
void of sex and flavorful food, to achieve the same level of consciousness
possible through only three years of Yoga, while including the enjoyment
of a family, sex, career, spicy foods, and so forth. Yoga specifically
includes all the goodness life has to offer.
Yoga is simply the most efficient method for achieving alignment of
your body, mind and spirit with the limitlessness of the Universe. It is not
necessary to give up anything wholesome or to sacrifice pleasure. As a Kundalini ‘Yogi',
you will experience a state of grace that radiates itself throughout all aspects
of everyday living, filling you with a sense of joy possibly unknown until now.

Sat Nam!
