The strange writing about yoga
br p something more than a month now, I spend much time before a computer screen, writing short essays on yoga topics. And in some ways it seems like a pretty natural, simple and fun thing to do: I love to write, and explores Yoga (in the Taoist, Buddhist and Hindu varieties as long on the aspects of these practices to find and their related philosophies ~ ~ currently in this way no problem. But there is a feeling of strangers i /i on... this small nagging feeling in the pit of your stomach... what proved for their "Ask investigation"... and therefore, this article!/p what does so to write "weird" about yoga? On the one hand, ~ I by the slope of passion and profession (within i dharma /i) a poet. It is to write poems I find the deepest joy, simplicity and transparency... A feeling that I am I (at least for now) "supposed to do," I have the world, what I am uniquely qualified to provide that I "do my job." Although I write a lot like prose, offer for me there is a noticeable difference in the experience of two forms. Author of prose, for me, almost always with a sense of tension, fear. I'm in prose texts, do affirmations, reports, I am arguing for this or that view I propose and defend. I put "Field" me on a specific discourse, because a certain "target", I want to win the attention and approval (or rejection)./p ~ ~ if I am on the other hand, writes poems, is the "relationship" between me much more "object" my inspiration (I to trees and rivers and mountains and the other members what will tend to... by "Nature"), thenis (planned) readers between me and my. "Density is to first and foremost for me" sound, images and evocation of a poem listen "and then with so much tenderness and integrity" as I can muster "Translation" of what I heard. .. Or else someone agree with me about poem never. Do not say that I don't value the work of other poets, and feel happy when my work is appreciated by them. I learned a lot about other poets, I hope that the "affected" by read, and am glad that I like the second. But that is secondary to the process i /i only listen my senses "Innocence"... so my thoughts "nude", what they see... the following poem birth. So to write poetry, write a kind of prose within my practice feels this way ~ ~ "weird."/p what is remarkable is the (virtual) combined can I claim "know only by a remarkable combination of intuition and projection," my audience. So I write the procedure for me, similar in connection with the deepest form of intimacy... in a context "impersonal", that can! Buy or not "personal" relationships are not necessarily more "true" or "intimate" as virtual relationships is an interesting question. In both cases, intimacy that of them depend on the ability to see I seems, if at all "text" is that it shows, feels like the "first level" of the connector. Words on a screen can this "text" may be spoken word, perhaps a personal show... I "know" the person the text, oberflä at every level as thechlichen, depends of ~ ~ it seems my ability to intuition (know-from-in, the feeling i /i level to extend and connect at the same level as alcohol / energy) and the volume on my projections (simple associations I first-level "textual"). But this is a topic for a different essay (or maybe a poem)... / p to write about yoga is also in an attempt to "in the UN speak variable" speak, which is involved (and perhaps really arrogant?) certainly a strange Corporate! Yoga as a path (sadhana i /i) as a series of techniques, philosophies, is something that can and should be... If not presented in the form of words and images, how could anyone ever actually start? How can anyone get this thing called "to a path of Yoga?" And how can anyone ever "Practice" to implement "means" no? Yoga, the bloom (i Siddhi /i or samadhi i /i or i Città vritti nirodha /i), is all but by definition not all types (including thought forms), all languages... it's a State of being (conventional, conceptual) "white" is like, our "know" about yoga! But what is also true that the most Yogis & Yogini nearby "bloom" to select the "return" in the world of yoga, speak and think and move in a human body... has a strange manner, brings us back began this article: poetry... / p because it is often (but not always!) in poetry (in thoughts, words and / or physical activity), these creatures most choose to express themselves... because it seems that sometimes a poem ()(dance) by its soft ~ 'hear' ~ a song a way to language has the power to tease this silence yogic, that speak silence back to its origin, source, such as the UN printable... / p so at least now I'll refers to write essays about yoga subjects use. And let me i /i poetry in my prose curious, to transfer energy. It feels like the right thing to do in. Although foreign i /i business really!/p

Magic, science and poetry - the Alchemy of Yoga
Magic, science and poetry - the Alchemy of Yoga
br p I spent that most of the time in the past two days of hearing creating and writing this essay for the first time. Since this morning the file to open, the (unfortunately) in one of these disks Neandrethal (sigh) are stored... only to find the disk like some hard rock rocks taxes refused to release. So here I am again, the same story tell... (but you at least i /i is right the first time?) (J)... / p before recently was a friend of mine ~ a wonderful artist much time to play on Hawaii spends ~ & told me the story for a few months (in a summer a few years ago) sleep in an orchard in Hawaii. The nights were mild and so this was a very nice place to hot air, Starlight, the smell of flowering trees. One evening, when my friend in all was relaxed and feel mentally and emotionally "accommodative" it appeared it (in a dream?) On the screen their third eye?) A group of plants Devas ~ fairy tale light beings ~ to describe their inside like every spring, they would (float like a swarm hummingbirds) create between the branches of fruit trees ~ their wings vibration light with pleasure ~ power (of love and the joy of celebration) needed for the trees in full blossom and fruit later ~/p now this clarification (for flowering fruit trees and sustainability) is very different from what I could get, says a university educated gardeners, yes?" My friend (or at least plants devas) statement can be as "magical" or "Miracle". Horticulture Declaration: definitely "scientific". The difference at first sight between the two seems very clear, very clear./p but if wea little deeper we discover that only the events that the current knowledge are what is often as "Magic" or "Miraculous" look (outside of the conceptual framework), the exercise. The other day in a Yoga Studio, I saw a glass that the vine a exception ~ ~ everything was growing horizontally along the shelf drapery over the edges rests on the pot else down. It was only a vine which grew just upwards, embraces the wall. For me it was in the wonderful reasonable... a kind of "Magic" is involved, by a vine was approached, and the rest./p what I learned was that fast vines from small sucker-like structures so they ~ if in contact with a wall ~ and climbing came, looked like me. When I realized that a single grape variety for me is not so mysterious, their actions (climbing) no longer something I call "magic would." Since I now in possession of a "scientific" statements./p there are also some magician / illusionist (made most famous perhaps in India), the ~ light of hand techniques and use / or sing mantras ~ looks as, say, to do a Cobra... If no such ideas.
