folk to absorb the nurturing and healing force of Life.” Asana is hatha yoga “ha tha,” “Strength receiving” which has profound
implication to our Life, health and experience. How do we make sure our asana is actually hatha yoga? (Practice and discussion)

Why do we study zen. before studying nautre in nature, man is man. god is god. after its the same labrynth. infinite number of entracnces all leading to the same place.

transcendence elevated a little so we can see the maze.

we are spirit that choose a human experience. “matter is never created or destroyed it only changes form” einstien.

identification with human experience is temporal.

mind body complex.

“not flag not wind mind is moving”

“relinquish your identity thought word deed and still know you exist.

“clothe your perceptions in language”

assigning language to a thing puts it into a box and makes the experience small. language as mantra. what are you telling yourself over and over?

the mind plays back what we’ve fed it. we look for reflections of consciousness in our emotions. Ah hum bru hasmi

enslaved by the exxternal experience form but I am the creative principle of my life. cosmological anatomy. We can only see the known reflections of the unknown in emotions. or what is known.

Ayreveda and Sexual Wholeness. Matthew Remski

What do the ancient lovers have to say?  Is there a Yogic approach that honours desire?  Using classic texts and modern commentaries, we’ll look at the Ayurvedic emphasis on the physiological foundation of sexual bliss, its insistence upon libido as a sign of rich internal immunity, Taoist ideals of bedroom skill and self-nourishment, workable understandings of the Yogic concept of brahmacharya, Tantric descriptions of sexual polarity, and the mystic but sometimes dodgy dreams of “spiritual sex”.
