    • Yoga Meditation Visualized

    • The goal of Yoga is Yoga itself, union itself, of the little self and the True Self, a process of awakening to the preexisting union that is called Yoga. Yoga, Sankhya, Vedanta, and Tantra view the human as manifesting outward step-by-step, whereby the subtler consciousness projects evermore outward, and then gradually forgets those subtler levels. Yoga or "Union" is attained by first training, balancing, and purifying each of the aspects of our being individually, and then systematically receding attention inward through those levels, expanding so as to experience the state of Union, Yoga, Samadhi, or Turiya. Created by Swami Jnaneshvara Bharati www.SwamiJ.com

    • Stroke of Insight

    • http://community.yogajournal.com/service/displayKickPlace.kickAction?u=4266323&as=25925&b= This video was first posted on <a href="http://community.yogajournal.com/service/displayKickPlace.kickAction?u=4266323&as=25925&b=">Prana Mama's</a> blog, and I thought it was amazing. Her stroke gives her the opportunity to turn off her thinking mind.  Amazing experience and thoughts on how the brain works.

    • Creative Genius by Elizabeth Gilbert

    • Elizabeth Gilbert, author of "Eat, Pray, Love" muses on the impossible things we expect from artists and geniuses -- and shares the radical idea that, instead of the rare person "being" a genius, all of us "have" a genius. It's a funny, personal and surprisingly moving talk.  From www.ted.com

    • OM Mantra and the Seven Levels of Consciousness

    • The OM Mantra is a roadmap for sadhana, spiritual practices (written as either AUM or OM). It is not for the person who seeks only the shallow waters of spiritual life, but rather for those who strive to realize in direct experience the depth of the absolute reality. There are four main levels of consciousness outlined in the OM Mantra, along with three transition levels, which is a total of seven levels. Each of these is experienced on the inner journey of meditation and contemplation.It is important to be aware of the fact that these levels of consciousness are realities that exist universally, regardless of whether or not one uses the OM Mantra or the visual OM symbol in any way. In either case, the underlying principles are extremely useful for all seekers in purifying or clearing the mind, and seeking the direct experience of deeper truths.Different texts and teachings might use different names for different characteristics at these four levels; for example, virat, hiranyagarbha, ishvara, and brahman, as well as vaishvanara, taijasa, prajna, and turiya. The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali  suggests remembering the meaning of OM Mantra as a direct path to Self-realization. Remembering the sound vibration of AUM, along with a deep feeling for the meaning of what it represents, brings both the realization of the individual Self and the removal of obstacles that normally block that realization. (See Yoga Sutras 1.23-1.29) Please see this article for more information: Om Mantra and the Seven levels of Consciousness

    • My 90-Year Old Dad Explores Milwaukee

    • My Dad practices Yoga philosophy everyday without ever knowing he's doing it.  When you're 90 the present becomes more and more precious every day.  And he doesn't miss a beat.  What a joy to have him here in Milwaukee with us, and to soak up his life energy.

  • Wow, that question is so not me. Try searching thru the website. I think there is a section for yoga and runners. I'd like to know the response. I'll look for it too.

  • Hello yoga study group! I'm hoping that you can help me out... If I want to do a run and yoga practice on the same day, when should I do each one? Which one first?
    I work as well, 7-5... It's hard work being healthy!
    Thanks x
