Certain specific body positions, asanas, open the energy channels and psychic centres of the body. Developing control of the body through these practices enabled them to control the mind and energy. Yogasanas became tools to higher awareness, providing the stable foundation necessary for the exploration of the body, breath, mind and higher states. The mind and body are not separate entities although there is a tendency to think and act as though they are. The gross form of the mind is the body and the subtle form of the body is the mind. The practice of asana integrates and harmonises the two. Both the body and the mind harbour tensions or knots. Asana releases these knots by dealing with them on the physical level, acting somato-psychically, through the body to the mind. Regular practice of asana maintains the physical body in an optimum condition and promotes heath even in an unhealthy body. Through asana practice, the dormant energy potential is released and experienced as increased confidence in all areas of life. |
