Lesson 1
What Is a Yogi?
Imagine, if you enjoy yoga enough to make it your life, you may actually want
to consider becoming a teacher, after months and years of practice. This
fitness now can be taught to others; like yourself. It might just be a job or
hobby that fulfills you mentally, physically and spiritually, the aspects of Mind,
body, and soul. Keep in mind with our Levels Anyone can become a "Yoga
Teacher" Online. Yoga is a fun and interesting topic. There are many styles,
methods, and ways of learning and mastering this art, science, therapy, and
religion as well. I have learned yoga through many sources, guru, and teachers
including the wonderful web and online courses, which gave me this idea to
bring my Business to the internet consumer. Save Thousands of Online Dollars,
learning the same information and more with LDM Yoga. We want to help you
reach your full potential in life. Whether you are a new yoga trainee or
already trained in yoga styles, I welcome you all to Love and Divinity in Motion;
and now for our course lessons.
What is a Yogi? Understanding this question will begin our Lesson and New
Yoga Experience. Definition: A Yogi is one who is in union with God, any Yoga
Individual or trainee will have this definition memorized over time. Some will

quote this term back to you, as if you are brand new to the field yoga. You
began to feel small and tiny over time. Why is this? One has to incorporate
Yoga into every area and inch of your well being and life story. When I lived in
Ann Arbor, Michigan as a Student, I was amazed at the different public
perceptions of local Yoga Instructors. I have listed some public statements
below for social everyday conversations:
1. They are always happy and joyful
2. Their skin completion is beautiful, they glow
3. They are always financially stable, secure, and wealthy
4. They are so pleasant to be around.
After awhile, as I studied my Hatha yoga, I began to wonder (as you will find,
many yoga trainees will do.☺):
1. “Am I a true yogi?”
2. “This is so much information, can I absorb it all?”
3. “What is the exact definition of a Yogi?”
4. “Can I become the image that is floating around my city?”
The second year; my Teacher gave me confidence not to “worry so much”, on
mastering the yoga and information; calling me the “Yoga Scientist” in my
lesson feedback, and granting me an A grade or homework credit. I held this in
the back of my mind as the months went by, my worry wore off slowly, and I
was driven for more information, feeling incomplete until my 3 year of Yoga. It
is very true that action does speak louder than words, many volumes, and
boldness. Imagine, one must be able to integrate the yogi concepts in their

And
2008

everyday life, health remedies, stress management, and embed them deep into
their subconsciousness. Keep in mind, mastering the Yogi within, takes time,
practice, and patience, before you will actually feel secure as a Yoga Guru. A
combination of literature, Yoga practice, prayer, and meditation will assist you
on your journey within. There are many yoga styles and paths to choose from.
Always understand your path thoroughly; before you educate others, the key is
to be very humble and open to receive more information. A complete balance
is recommended, bouncing from one extreme to another will not make you a
master of anything. Students will only appear impatience and confused when
searching for the fast path to enlightenment and Yoga. Take your time and stay
focused every day. There are many life distractions that can detour the yogi
trainee. Some Yogins will explore one path while others many paths, there is
no correct way to begin your journey, keep in mind you are in no competitions
or race to the finish line, you the yogi are in charge, the whole entire trip. You
will begin to heal your life inside and out, your environment, job, and friends
may begin to change around you. The key is to remain “Fearless” as a Yogi.

Lesson 2
What is Hatha?
Hatha is a yoga of balance, gentleness, strength, fitness, and awakening

energy. Some individuals of the Spiritual and Meditation Yoga will
misunderstand the physical styles, and vice versa. As I mentioned in my
Alternative Therapy book, Yoga is both a Religion and Fitness Experience. It
really depends on your chosen Yoga path or Yoga Style. Each Style provides a
form of healing, detox, stress relieve, relaxation, meditation, and problem
solving; in proven scientific techniques. The Path itself can be spiritual or non
spiritual, Meditation or no Meditation, Hinduism or Non-Hinduism, Buddhism or
Non-Buddhism. We all must keep in mind; the path of Yoga has many founders,
teachers, Gurus, and ancient Masters. Each Master or founder has his own
Yoga Path. As a student or trainee, we can freely learn from all the paths
available to us. Sorry, to say; this Yoga misunderstanding, myths, or at times
contradictions; happens very easily due to America today. In the Hip, growing
field of personal trainers, the modern yoga instructor may not see or have
been taught; the importance of all Hatha balancing elements. Some are
investing hundreds of dollars to not get the full picture of yoga training.
Therefore; a true yoga trainee must invest another $500.00 to $1000.00 a year,
to get the complete understanding and yoga experience. A budget below that
and you are lucky. A Yoga Instructor education cost, will then add up to a
And

secular bachelors or master degree in time. It is up to the individual, Personal

Trainer, what path they would like to pursue in Yoga. Eventually, one can
become accredited for every independent class, workshop, and experience, if
documented at home. Associations will deem you Expert of Grand Parent Yogi
for your many accomplishments. Sad, American image is based on thin bodies,
popular media, yoga fashion, and star appearance of physical yoga. No worries,
The Yoga Teachers are slowly taking charge, and bringing alive the ancient
India Traditions. Now you can visualize why naturally, Yoga Spiritualist cannot
imagine anything more than the physical poses. Surprising; Hatha is the perfect
blend of asanas, postures, breathing, meditation, and relaxation exercises. Its
purpose is to blend and balance both the Spiritual and Physical experience
together as one. Hatha is also known as Basic or Classical yoga, in conversation
or physical practice terms. Many other styles are actual branches from the
Hatha Path. The word Yoga means union with God; imagine this union being
the foundation of your Home Hatha practice. When in Physical or fitness yoga,
some students may forget the importance of the breathing and meditation
elements of this style. Honestly; the Hatha Yogi is left empty, like a growing
void; without including all of the elements connected to this Path or style. To
some the asana practice alone is enough work. Asana in Yoga Sanskrit means,
comfortable, or stable pose. Asanas are actually easy to do. Non Yogins will
view your practice and say, “Oh that looks so easy!” Yes this is actually true.
Any Person, body type, and age can practice physical yoga. In Hatha, The
asanas begin very basic, you learn a series of stretches, joint work, relaxation,

And
2008
6583 words
facial massages, and warm ups before entering the fire core element of asana
practice. Imagine, not the look of yoga, but the benefits. Asanas are good for
toning the muscles, strengthening the body, disciplining the mind, and
purifying your organs. A Yoga Master will stay youthful and illness free, after
years of well rounded, yoga practice. Many Healers, Practitioners, and Masters
will use Hatha Yoga, to give Yoga Therapy also called Medical Yoga for ill or
Rehab clients. This is why the Yogi Trainee must master his or her inner fire
and energy source to grow in Yoga practice; you will need bolts of energy for
your weekly schedule. We will discuss this in later lessons, how to overcome
fatigue and tiredness. Fellow Yogins, the blend itself, will complete each
other; we recharge and feel renewed, satisfied, and rejuvenated after the full
integration process of Hatha. The Integration will leave you with a healthy,
conditioned physical body, for your silent meditations and spiritual rituals. The
Yogi will feel enlightened and truly connected, mind, body, and soul. Some
teachers will include the chakra centers and mantras in their Hatha practice; it
is all based on the individual Practitioners and time allowance in class
schedules. This will also give balance and energy clearing to Hatha Yoga.

Lesson 3
Understanding the Yoga Paths
The purpose of Yoga Paths is to take you inward, exploring your higher self,
personality, life questions, and God consciousness. You become more spiritually
aware, alert, and on a Higher God Path, very similar to Christ and Biblical
Scriptures. As you journey to other paths, confusion can arise or
misconceptions, it is wise to take it slow, to not hurry your knowledge and
awareness building. Learning at your own yogi speed, is very helpful, in yoga
explorations. Our paths can happen naturally depending on your source of
information and training. At times, one class alone can provide a grand
introduction, however; other classes, barely any style information at all. This
depends on the class format and teacher style. I have researched and listed the
variety of styles and yoga paths below: Some I have practiced, mastered, and
others yet to explore as Yoga Instructor and Metaphysician. Yoga is a life long
process; we must learn to enjoy each path to enlightenment without speedy
competitions.
1. Raja Yoga: The Royal or Realization path, know as the “highest” yoga
2. Karma Yoga: Achieving union with God with right action and service
3. Bhakti Yoga: The path of love, devotion, and Divinity
And
2008
6583 words
4. Jnana Yoga: Philosophy, intellect, seeing the mind and personality

clear
5. Chakra Yoga: The Yogi heals with their energy chakras and asana poses
6. Tantra Yoga: individuals explore universal consciousness and sexuality
7. Mantra Yoga: The Yogi uses vocal sounds and Words in meditation
8. Kundalini Yoga: Awakening dormant energy in chakras, similar to others
9. Nude Yoga: Nudist Yoga, no clothing, explores freedom, all body types.
10. Kriya Yoga: Meditation practice, builds awareness of the self and mind.
11. Ashtanga Yoga: fitness yoga, one removes muscle and organ toxins.
Each yoga path has definitions that are book volumes long, however; this only
gives you an idea, visual, and concept of each practice. I know some of you will
get excited and on a yogi mission to learn as many paths as possible. Yes, this
is good, I need you to keep that excitement, however; take it slow. Do not
overwhelm the senses, intuition, body, and soul’s advancement process. We all
have our natural speed; do not force yourself too much. Motivation,
inspiration, love, and aliveness are good qualities for all Yogins. This keeps us
balanced and ready to go, to the next level. When you feel blocked, detoured,
at war, lacking support and intuition, keep in mind, Meditation and Prayer
time can quiet the mind and guide you back to your yoga path.

And

My present paths are a mixture and integration of:

1. Hatha
2. Ashtanga
3. Mantra
4. Chakra
5. Kriya

Those are keeping me busy, vibrant, and full of enthusiasm. There are many
Sources to learn each yoga path. A word of wisdom: Stay open to receive.

Lesson 4
The Healing Energy of Life
This information I have learned and experienced as a Metaphysician, Holistic

Psychic, and Yogi. The information is beyond our complete understanding and
logic, amazingly “universal”, with many terms and content. Imagine; God is
our one source, in all religions and spiritual practice. When we speak of the
“Divine Being within”, that also means “God within.” This Divine Being is
your Lamp, energy, and guiding light to shine for you and all to see. It is
amazing, many individuals in New Age, Wicca, Metaphysics, and Yoga, will tell
you the same comments, we all are connected and beliefs are similar. Once
you explore another religions or Yoga paths, you will begin to see the signs and
connecting pieces. One connecting piece is “energy.” Our bodies and
environment is made up of energy and all of its creations. Yoga teaches us
about the healing internal energy called “Prana.” Yogins teach of prana being
a force and gift used to heal ourselves and other individuals, similar to
psychics, reiki, the laying of hands, and body work. How do we invoke this
cosmic force and inner power? Any breathing work, movement, thought, words,
and affirmation are wonderful ways of using the healing gift of prana. Another
concept of viewing this “life force” prana energy is by understanding the
Chakra Energy Centers and Aura Shield. This is done in the field of Metaphysics,
And
2008
6583 words
Psychic Science, and “Originally” Yoga Health and Science. We are taught,
there are hundreds of chakras all over the body, this includes your hands,
fingers, feet, every inch of you and your being. The popular chakras are the
ones aligned down your spine, your seven chakras, and eight including the aura
shield. Any Number beyond eight, is really optional and up to the channelor,
The Yogins and New Age Practitioners, will make things simplistic and stay
within seven or eight chakras. If you are guided to perceive more than eight
chakras, number twelve or more, go with that, your angels, spirit guides, or
family member, is trying to help you with a specific issue, learning topic, or
environment concern. Keep in mind we have hundreds, so this is not unusual.
Most new students will feel they are crazy or strange. Never doubt your
connection, Psychic awareness, or intuition, based on text book or class
information. You could be clear, accurate, and learning through your spirit
guides, they already know this information from beautiful heaven library. I am
sure there are heavenly books, we have yet to discover through our chakras and
ClairCognizance channel. Colleges, workshops, and class courses, are only tools
to assist us and intellect builders. I remember the days, of intuiting beyond
logic and current book shelf information, I would automatically doubt myself;
as if this was complete nonsense to imagine. I pass on to you, as the yoga
student; never doubt your abilities and also someone else you know. We all
have the same inner power. We can choose different ways of perceiving this
information and learning methods. Example: Imagine one group of Five Girls,
receiving the same heavenly message through different perceptions and

And
2008
6583 words
intuitions. This group includes; Christians, Yogins, Metaphysicians, Wicca, and

Psychics, all five girls can channel the same message but different vocabulary,
terms, power, and Universal gifts. This is based on each girl’s background,
family upbringing, education levels, and religion preference. Also, Keep in
mind; there is no limit to how you learn, you can be apart of all spiritual
perceptions.
Now before we move on to the next lesson, I have a question. Are you familiar
with the Main Chakras? Maybe you are familiar with them. Sources such as;
Blogs, Magazines, Metaphysical Books, Workshops, or Yoga Class, however; you
do not know them by memory. No problem, I have enclosed a “Chakra Yoga
List” Version below. Chakra Yoga Classes will be taught at a later time from
Love and Divinity, this is one of my favorite, special paths, similar to other
yoga paths that teach the Chakra System and Energy Topics. Any “life Issues”
can be solved using Chakra Clearing and Meditation. Daily Chanting,
Metaphysical Affirmations, or Prayer helps a lot. It takes practice & self love.

Lesson 5
The Purpose of Life-Your Spirituality
What is your life purpose? As I reflect back on my Experiences, Counseling

Clients, and Religious Education, it all adds up to one meaning. No one can
truly answer all of your questions, no matter how hard they work or try; the
search begins within. Most Teachers, Gurus, or Masters can share their wisdom,
experience, and enlightenment, which is universal to all man kind, however;
personal dreams and success will lie in the palm of your hands and heart. You
hold the key to your true destiny. You as the Yogi, carry a great deal of
power; from God and Heavenly Guides. You must review your inner self and life
movie, to evaluate and analyze the questions; “What am I searching for? What
do I need? Why don’t I feel nourished or satisfied? Why do I feel alone and
incomplete? Why do I feel this large void inside, I could cry?” I have witnessed
so many questions, it is unbelievable; the deep sadness we can occur over
time. Some individuals will search every material, external source, book,
person, item, and city necessary, just to find their troubles are always close
behind. Imagine you creating your destiny, day by day, minute by minute, small
pieces of karma, and mirror reflections. You can never run from your
problems or fears. To face the inner you will take a lot of strength,
discernment, compassion, self-love, and much flexibility. There is great power

And
2008
6583 words
in the present, to live in the moment, not the past or future will help you
maintain better karma for yourself. For new Yogins, you may need to first
understand what exactly is karma? Most of us in the contemporary world of
youth and growth; have a general concept but very little. Karma involves cause
and effect, reminding us all of the idea; that each one of us will reap what we
sow. Keep in mind, this cause and effect, action and reaction, involves not only
your spiritual life, but all relationships, our money, home environment, jobs,
every area and issue of our reality. This may be hard to understand, for those
of us going through hard times, financial woes, trauma, abuse, and love life
issues. We begin to feel sorry for ourselves and become victims of our
circumstance. This can happen for months to years before we, intuitively,
figure it out one day, from a yogi healer or personal revelation. It is time we
take control of our thoughts, speech, and actions. The pitfall is when we
neglect our subconscious and conscious mental patterns. Our thoughts and
words are the most powerful manifesting tool we have from God. When we are
going through the darkest karma, earth hell, or timeline; it is something we
created beforehand in the past. This realization, for some, may take time to
digest. For me it took a series of events, literature, research, counseling
others, discernment, and education, to come out of denial. I am true to my
Taurus bull sign. A wonderful blessing for me personally; has been yoga and
meditation. There are many forms of meditation; walking, cooking, lotus
position, quiet daydreaming, mates activities, EST. One must meditate to learn
from their past, to live in the moment, and create their new future. Remember

And
2008
6583 words
now, that nothing is set in stone, not even the clearest, accurate, Psychic
Predictions. Why, some may question. Well; this is because each person has the
right and control, shift, and alter future realities. I remember in College, I
would give someone a premonition or prediction, based on their current
situation. The Person or college friend would dislike my prediction so much,
that they would change it, on purpose, to prove me wrong. The incident was
rubbed in my face for months afterwards. I never recovered fully, I questioned
my faith and psychic awareness until God told me, what happened in clear
detail. I was in shock; I was always 95% percent accurate due to my studies and
research over the years. I had to release forgiveness to this friend and move
on to enjoying my psychic levels and heavenly assistance. I share this with you,
for your reality and psychic awareness. Always know; that the kingdom of
God is within us and around us, God is our guide, and will give your life
purpose. Your creations are birthed every day from past thoughts and daily
events. When people and wishes come true by accident, we call this pure
serendipity, feeling blessed and marveled at our good luck. However; know
that this good luck is also a form of universal karma. It is through our karma
that we reward and punish ourselves. We are like co-creators of God, Mini
versions of the Mother and Father God image. This can be a fun experience or
hell trial. Day by Day, week to week, we can be humble as God’s children, and
enjoy each manifestation, event, mate, wealth, and good health, that we
create successfully. We are little Gods and Goddesses. We have the power to
create and destroy, you make the choice today. Easier said, than done, some of

And
2008

you may joke. Another Alternative method, is Angel Therapy, calling on the
Angels will comfort and Guide you, instantly; guaranteed. Namaste and Peace
be with you.

And

Lesson 6
Cleansing Effects of deep Breathing-Detoxification
If you have a toxin problem and ill health, then Yoga has your Prescription,
guaranteed. This Holistic Prescription includes Yoga Asanas, Meditation, and of
course, Deep breathing exercises. When beginning exercises or meditation
practice, one method of achieving high relaxation and toxin cleansing, is how
deep your breaths are. In yoga class, the instructor will introduce to you an
amazing detail; most individuals actually do not use any breathing from their
diaphragm. Only individuals who specialize in; Fitness Exercise, Yoga, or
Professional Singers of Classical training; will learn how to use their diaphragm.
This is because; using diaphragm exercises will aid many career, health, and
channeling purposes. In Yoga Health and Science, we are taught how to
cleanse, heal, and de-stress ourselves, when using breathing exercises, a little
different from Music Instructors. Each teacher has a different purpose and
ending result; the Yoga instructor’s goal is to help student’s mind, body, and
soul wellness. Some Yoga breathing exercises taught in; Kriya, Kundalini, and
Hatha Paths is the “Rapid Fire Breathing” “Breath of Fire” or “Bellow’s
Breath.” This is a favorite exercise of mine I learned in Hatha training for a
couple of years in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

And
2008
6583 words
Breath of Fire is a breathing exercise where you inhale and exhale

rapidly through the nose (never the mouth) without pausing, and
pumping the navel point while using the abdomen as a bellows. Any Yogi
can practice this at their home of office area to eliminate the waste
from the bottom of the lungs, a natural form of detox and abdominal
exercise all in one sitting. If you are not trained or cannot imagine how
to master this exercise without having a problem, then I strongly
recommend not try to too many times, rely on an expert. Always
practice yoga at your comfort level and own space (including the breath
exercises). Any discomfort and pain, means you must stop, Yoga should
not be painful.
Other breathing yoga exercises include:

1. The Complete Breath= Exhale fully and slowly. Inhale for a count of
sixteen or to your full capacity without stress and strain. Slow exhale the
exact same count as your inhale. Again, breathe only through your
nostrils not your mouth. Try to use your diaphragm and stomach not
shallow breathing. You can practice this exercise for as many repetitions
as desired. Three to seven repetitions is recommended for the
“Complete breath.”
2. Alternative Nostril Breathing=This is an excellent exercise. From
personal experience, after regular practice, the yogi will begin to feel
the cleansing effects and higher vibration of this detox. During times of

And
2008
6583 words
high stress at work I always, did my Alternative Nostril Breathing

exercises as a Student trainee. This may take some practice, but will
become habit after awhile. To prevent confusion; This exercise is best
done with an instructor in a private or group class setting for clear
direction, the student takes turns closing one nostril, and breathing
through the other one. A series of repetitions is done for 5 to 6 rounds of
exhalations and inhalations. The breath is to flow deeply through each
nostril to cleanse, relax, and detox stress. In some instructions, they will
instruct Yogins to breathe with no sound, smooth breath, however; if
your sinus is clogged, blocked nasal passage, and with Fire Breathing you
will hear a slight sound, so no worries. Practice makes perfect. In the
beginning with (Beginner and intermediate) Yogi Students, we must
experience a better diet, daily asanas, and extensive meditation
practice to achieve high results in any classroom or advanced yoga
study.

Lesson 7
Mastering the Fire Element, when Fatigue takes over your life
Many of us experience hectic, stressed, and burned out routines on the regular
basis. One way to rejuvenate is to practice Hatha Yoga. In Hatha, Practitioners
and Teachers will try to incorporate the importance of Deep breathing and
channeling your fire energy. This is a beautiful ability and best done using the
breathing exercises and Chakra Yoga. Let’s review the Chakra Energy System
for a moment. Out of the seven main chakras (see Chakra list in Lesson 4) the
solar plexus, Third Chakra; will help you channel some energy, power, and self-
esteem. The benefits over time; will blow you away; incredible results.
Understanding Your Solar Plexus, Third Chakra
This chakra is called your Solar Plexus and Manipura Chakra. The Manipura is
important and used often in Hatha and Power Yoga Sessions. This chakra
contains fire energy that requires attention and regular cleansing; like your
other chakra energy centers. In this chakra you can glow with much
metabolism and light. As men and woman age; you can tell when we forget
how to “naturally” channel our fire energy. Our belly and abs become out of
shape and bodies out of balance. This is a constant goal for me after college;
that I will pass on to my Yoga Students online and in the local Gym. Please
practice your “Yoga Pilates” and learn to exercise that core chakra energy.
How else can you tell if your Manipura is balanced?

And
2008
6583 words
1. Can you easily make decisions? Are you confused often and clouded in
thinking?
2. Do you have anxiety, nervousness, and panicky issues alone or in group
environments?
3. Do you have obsessive disorders?
4. You have the need to control others causing harm or abuse to them
unintentionally?
5. Or Anger Management Problems, frequent outbursts?
6. Or you maybe depressed and not assertive enough in your work, school,
and daily social transactions?
7. Do you feel shy, lonely, and incapable of expressing the real you?
8. Do you feel vulnerable, weak, too scared to affirm your self-worth,
esteem, respect, and self-love?
If you have answered yes to any of the following questions above, then your
chakra may be out of balance. This is not an embarrassment moment, no need
to worry, grow weary, or feel ashamed. This is your grand day, power, and
liberty to work on your core and fire energy.

Introduction into Meditation Practice
There are many descriptions and opinions to meditation practice. Some

experts will tell you, that you will never achieve a high or higher state of
awareness. However; this is possible with the proper meditation props and
many deep breathing exercises as a yogi. Therefore; I am not going to tell
you what you can and cannot do or expect in practice. Each experience can
be similar but different at the same time. Why and how can it be both?
Some of you may be wondering this in confusion right now. The difference
lies in our Yogi psychic abilities and intuitive awareness. Let’s say for
example purposes, you have the psychic skills to channel clairvoyant using
the eye senses and chakras; while your friend or family member may be the
exact opposite. They may have the skills to channel clairaudient using the
ear senses and chakras. Most of you may know or have heard of the seven
main energy chakras. This was also mentioned in Part One of your Hatha
Psychology Course. We do have others and over a hundred or million
chakras not named or mentioned. This is why; we all have the power to use
every psychic clair gift and medium experience known to man; but this may
happen over time and is really up to the individual. Some advanced yoga
psychics may pick and choose which gifts to use on auto pilot level, for
different events, or client sessions as a Practitioner. Now that you have a
small visual of the melting pot of talents one can possess; I will however;
And
2008
6583 words
share the basic information to get you started or for some of you readers;
this will be a form of review due to your levels of experience. Another
tidbit to share is; not all meditation Yogins can say they are Intuitive or
Psychic. They may report an experience here or there. Meditation will not
always provide the psychic experiences, visions, spirit guides, angels, or
even divine revelations. You as the Yogi have full control of the ebb flow of
giving and receiving. You as the Yogi are the master of your meditation
experiences. Some of you may or will meditate for months to even years
without one vision or imagery message. While others in yoga will allow
themselves to open up their chakras and belief system to this ancient and
modern experience. The gifts are rewarding whenever you do, the psychic
experience takes practice, clearing, issue releasing, and fearlessness. It also
comes in excellent for any life challenges, strength building, faith elevation,
premonitions, manifesting, relationships, child birthing, child rearing, and
generation blessings.
The word meditation is also used in general terms as a mind clearing

process or issue review. You may hear people mention how they will
meditate on something or a situation. This is used for the concept of sitting
somewhere quietly or daydreaming upon an answer of conclusion. The
person may not actually perform the traditional meditation ritual or
environment props, however; the mental clearing is very similar to the

And
2008
6583 words
tradition meditation steps. Therefore; the person did not lie, they actually
performed active and daytime meditation. Meditation can be done while
working, studying, walking, socializing, cleaning, and any daily activity.
Afterwhile, whether conscious or subconscious; the individual begins to
meditate every day in several situations in any slow or steady working pace.
I have had friends or co workers call this; ‘in the zone’. You become on auto
auto pilot in habit activity. Some will argue with you about this
generalization of Meditation terms, but the idea is very excellent and
healthy; why make it so complex? It is amazing how some are quick to
debate instead of learning another way or perception of action. The yoga or
meditation community is no exception. There can be arguments and
conflicts just within one social group. This is when one or all persons
involved; are closed to the others ideas, experiences, or point of views. We
have to learn how to embrace each other and be open minded. In some
cases; this may build faith, strength, and more education for the struggling
yogi or student. Once you become an expert, senior, or grandparent in your
field, you are one with God, the universe, and all creations. You mellow
out, become more at peace, ease, less frustrated, stressed, and without
anger. Life becomes a flow of possibilities, experiences, and fun creations.
Afterwhile; you start to see God in all life and circumstances. Being open
will benefit your mind, body, and soul for yourself, clients, those you teach,
and counsel. I am similar to you all, ‘yoga is a lifetime lesson’. When some
say this; they may try to take away from your experiences or belittle you.

And
2008

This is only when the ego takes over the skilled yogi versus the beginner or
new edition to a meditation area. Learn the meaning but do not let it
degrade your hard work or years of classes. As I learn and grow like my
students; my life and destiny changes shape. Picture I may be on a different
level with a different background. No person is better or worse than the
other. We are all the same; on parallel paths. You become an enlightened
yogi of motivation. Each level of your courses will show new updates,
perceptions, possible conflicts, and ways of handling your experiences…..
