Yoga:All About Seeking Consciousness with Prana

Aside from being a divine initiative, yoga as a method to God realization has as its source the Bhagavad Gita, The Tantric texts of the Hatha Yoga Pradipika, the Gherand and Siva Samhitas, and the Yoga Sutras.
In all of these works, effecting Prana in order to awaken the Kundalini Devi is the goal of the practice. Although the Kundalini may not be described verbatim, Her being effected is the crux of these systems, as She is the Divine Creatrix, and instrumental in the descent of consciousness down to the mortal experience of finite mind.
Here is a short excerpt from a statement by my guru Swami Satyananda:
When Yoga is perfected, the Kundalini awakens.Nada, the pranic cosmic sound,Om, joins with the source of consciouness, the Bindu.
The yogin then travels on the path of spiritual involution, riding the Kundalini until the yogin enters into the Sahasrara Cakra, thus achieving success in Yoga.
This is the final stage for the Yogi, the culmination in expansion of consciousness to the cosmic sphere of liberation.
He is now freed from the bonds of life and death, gaining immortality.
The wheel of Karma ceases for him, the world stops, creation dissolves, and he experiences the pure consciouness of the divine absolute-sat-cit-ananda.
If you are not doing Yoga with the above listed as the goal, you are not doing original ancient yoga, and you are missing eternal life while embodied, the life of a true yogin.
Using Prana as a means of a consciousness retracing modality is the key to awakening the Kundalini and Yogic proficiency. Go to www.kundalinidream.org

I really, really want to get into yoga, as in with an experienced guru, when I have the resources. I think I would get a lot out of it. Sometimes I'll do deep breathing and get a natural high and calm from that alone.

 

The result of relaxation you are getting from the breathing is from two sources. One is physiology based, the other prana based. There are two pranas which relegate our expereince of life and consciousness, pingala prana which is what controls your breathing and physical functions, and citta prana, which controls your thinking functions.
The yogic process of pranayama is used in yoga to still these two pranas so that they will begin to revert back into their one original source prana, maha kundalini or cosmic prana, which is what evolved directly from God's mind originally.
So yoga is really all about inducing the lower pranas to begin a retracing type of phenomenon back into their source, which is your finite consciousness source as well.
All pranas are and come from the divine mother, She in turn if one can arouse Her into consciousness involution will take you back to Shiva, the divine self, and their merger is yoga in which you experience yourself as that divine self, the divine self of absolute reality.
This stuff sounds far out but it is really basic. The trend today and has been around for decades to use one aspect of yoga for this or that benefit has been limiting this divine science for years.The thing to do is to take a rational stance on the delemma we as finite living and thinking beings live and move through, and decide to get an authentic taste of the divine this sacred ancient science has always promised. The problem is finding the right system that is complete. My guru, Swami Satyananda Sarasvati is one of the great living tantrics of today. He is over the only tantric college in the world, and his adherence to original yoga works, is great, and grants an experience of life that is "breath taking", no pun intended. Namaste, Yogin Bhairava Atmabhoda Sarasvati

 

Come to God my friends, come to who you are on the breath of a whim.

 

I've been to Monument Valley.

God was there also.
