| Keys to Self Realization / Enlightenment - Spirituality http://www.siddhayatan.org http://www.yogeeshashram.org http://www.askacharyashree.com A talk by Enlightened Master, Dr. Acharya Yogeesh. Keys to Self-realization This is a frequently asked question and when asked most people will say that they already know themselves. However, to know oneself is a difficult thing. There are steps to self-realization. First, the human body consists of a gross body and a subtle body. In order to realize oneself a person's gross body needs to be cleared of blockages. There are three channels in the body -- ira, pingla and shushumna. In ira -- breathing takes place through the left nostril. This is the moon channel(cool). In pingla -- breathing takes place through the right nostril. This is the sun channel. In shushumna -- breathing takes place equally through both nostrils. It is the center of the backbone. A person that is always balanced and always in shushumna is already self-realized. This is a difficult technique to master because typically a person is imbalanced, either in anger or in love. The key to balance is in your hand and the lock is in front of you. But you cannot see it. When a diamond is in your hand you think it is a piece of rock. A blind man was lost in a big fort miles and miles long and only with a single door. Someone told him that he can find the door if he keeps walking with his hand always on the wall. He said he didn't mind walking and so he kept on going for miles. As soon as he got close to the door his body started itching so he removed his hand from the wall to scratch himself while he kept on walking. He missed the door. He kept on walking and repeating this several times. The key is in his hand, the door is there but he cannot see it. We are deluded and that is why we cannot be self-realized. The reason is because we cannot stay balanced. If we can be always in shushumna we are balanced. Even a wild animal coming towards you cannot harm you because he will sense that you are not violent. Balance is the key to be self-realized. Of all the paths, this is the easiest one. If your breath flows always equally in both channels you will always be in touch with your soul. This is the simplest way. *tags* spiritual, spirituality, spiritual teacher, spiritual guru, spiritual master, seeker, truth, enlightenment, peace, self-realization, meditation, awareness, truth about god, truth about spirituality, spiritual truth, truth about bible, truth about jesus, truth about swamis, hindu, jain, india, us, Christian, catholic, jewish, islam, muslim, religion, pope john paul II, yoga meditation, spiritual meditation, yoga meditation, yoga poses, yoga toes, tantric yoga, yoga clothing, yoga positions for beginners, yoga positions, acharya yogeesh,bikram yoga, online yoga, benefits of yoga, kriya yoga, namaste yoga, yoga exercise, yoga techniques, pranayama, breathing, kundalini yoga, hatha yoga, raja yoga, yoga journal, india, yoga postures, yoga magazine, pilates, christian yoga, vinyasa yoga, yoga nidra, spirituality, meditation, yogeeshashram, bad religion, acharya yogeesh, spirituality, freedom of religion, losing my religion, islam religion,barack obama's religion, world religions, religions, mayan religion, aztec religion, catholic religion, hindu religion, buddhist religion, jain religion, jehovah witness, protestant, greek religion, jewish religion, cherokee religion, native american religion, meditation, yoga, mormon religion, jesus christ, mohammed, krishna, wiccan religion, cults, different religions, spiritual religion, pirituality, acharya yogeesh, how to meditate meditation techniques,meditation music, transcendental meditation, guided meditation, buddhist meditation, benefits of meditation, history of meditation, meditations, cosmic meditation, communion meditations, christian meditation, daily meditations, easy meditation techniques, meditation methods, meditation instructions, meditation guru, meditation retreats hindu meditation Tags: balance key self realization awareness enlightenment samadhi transformation development learning consciousness |
