The Heart and Soul Of Yoga..Asana,Pranayama,Meditation
Garry Alesio.. Wed May 26th 6:30-8:00 PM "Yoga Challenge Class"@ YogaBranch/Vista www.yogabranch.com
Asana~The ancient yogis used asana to prepare the body for meditation.
Pranayama ~A yogi's life is not measured by the number of days but by the number of his breaths," Pranayama purifies and removes distractions from the mind making it easier to concentrate and Meditate. Dhyana~ The goal of Meditation is not unconsciousness or nothingness. It is heightened awareness and oneness with the universe.

Death. "Encouraging Words" by Zen Master Guishan
Death. "Encouraging Words" by Zen Master Guishan
Some day you will die.
Lying on your sick bed about to breathe your last, you will be assailed by every kind of pain,
Your mind will be filled with fears and anxieties and you will not know where to go or what to do,
Only then you will realize you have not practiced well.
The skandhas/aggregates (matter, sensations, conceptions, impulses and consciousness)
and the four elements in you will quickly disintegrate, and your consciousness will be pulled wherever your ancient, twisted karma leads it.
Impermanence does not hesitate.
Death will not wait.
You will not be able to extend you life by even a second.
How many thousands times more will you have to pass through the gates of birth and death.
If these words are challenging, even insulting, let them be an encouragement for you to change
Practice heroically
Do not accumulate unnecessary possessions.
Don't give up.
Still your mind, end wrong perceptions, concentrate and do not run after the objects of your senses.
Practice diligently.
Be determined not to let your days and months pass by wastefully.
