The intense longing for the goal begins when we are “done” with all that we have been craving and been busy with - recognition, wealth, ego, ….now we crave for something deeper, something lasting. In yoga, this is the sign of “now I am ready”.
Through the retelling of a fable in which a young boy who deep desire to be a musician takes him to a master, Bharat highlights the maturity, readiness, preparation and longing that takes us to a goal. When the longing is intense, the purpose draws you to it, the right experiences come your way, you are unaware when your training has begun. Opportunities are created by your purpose alone.
Yoga is about tuning into Vayu. Yoga is not just flexibility and strength building or disease cure, it is about tuning in to Prana Vayu, the vital life force that animates our whole being and the whole cosmos. In this episode, we recap the power of our breath and the different vayus, the quality of each Vayu and the nature of its movement. Each vayu performs a particular set of functions. Vayu can be seen as the enabler, the hidden hand that makes everything possible.
This episode dives into Samana Vayu which is responsible for absorption of energy that is brought by Prana vayu and is the balancing force in the body.
