“But What Does Yoga Actually Do?”

AvatarHigh Priestess Lydia Coventina6 min to read

Yoga means yoke, to unite – specifically, the body, mind, and soul. Yoga works these 3 areas, bringing harmony, increased awareness, and increased self-control. It also allows for the fullest expression of one’s highest self, and the individual personality, in the best and healthiest possible manner.

Something to note: most people, when they hear the word “control”, they think of it in the negative. It has both a negative and a positive connotation, so free yourself from thinking of it in only the negative. In this sense, controlling oneself does not mean repressing, suppressing, or stifling oneself. It simply means that you are in control of how you act and when and where; you have the freedom to choose how you act and react in direct relation to the pure identity of your highest self, instead of automatically giving in to emotional or mental reactions, or psychological programmings.

The enemy, as always, tries it’s hardest to control (in the negative connotation) yoga and yoga practitioners. They advise people to do yoga without eating first in the morning, and being vegetarian, if not vegan. Starvation is one of the common tactics used in brainwashing and mind-programming, as it allows the person to become too receptive to programmings and thought-forms. Try to eat when you need to eat, and as much as your body needs.

Yoga heals the body, mind, and soul. We are not just spiritual beings, nor are we just material bodies. We are both, plus consciousness. Yoga is not like regular athletics that work only the body; nor is it like passive meditation that works only the soul; nor is it an intellectual pursuit that only works the mind. It unites and harmonizes all, strengthening all, empowering all aspects of our being. Yes, including the mind, as explained in my post on Increasing Awareness, which is to be done with as many yoga asanas as you are able to easily and conveniently do, gradually building up and expanding your consciousness throughout your body, and beyond.

To further explain what yoga does: The body has 144,000 nadis, which are energy channels and pathways throughout the entire body. They all connect to the Solar Plexus chakra. The main nadis of Sushumna, Ida, and Pingala in the spine are empowered through the practice of kundalini yoga, but the rest of the nadis need to be stretched, strengthened, and cleared. Only a proper and thorough yoga practice can do this. This is one of the reasons why people can’t advance after the death of the physical body, and why we must be incarnated again and again – the physical body is absolutely essential for spiritual advancement.

Simple stretching is a basic introduction to the physical practice of yoga. As you advance, you will utilize your mind and consciousness in each asana, using your breath to allow for opening and healing of the nadis and the circulation of your spiritual energy, otherwise known as your Qi, or bioelectricity. Don’t think this is overly complicated, it is actually quite easy and basic as you do it, much of this happens naturally. It is just what happens when you do yoga.

Yoga, as well as pranayama and meditation, increases our bioelectricity levels. When our levels are consistently higher, we are stronger in every way, and we can use our energy to improve our lives. People on a low spiritual level are subject to many curses and negative planetary influences and transits. Being on a higher level raises us to where much of this no longer affects us. We radiate a spiritual light, as opposed to the average degenerate who sucks the life force and spiritual energy from others. Many people feel like they are struggling to stay afloat, struggling like a person fighting against the tides. A consistent yoga practice will raise you up and allow you to shine brightly and have strength – strength of physical body, strength of mind, strength of emotions, and strength of spirit. This all-encompassing strength gives unlimited potential for everything good and positive in our lives; in our advancement towards Godhood; and in our benevolent influence upon the common people on our planet. And it of course makes us stronger warriors in our fight against our enemies.

Getting back to how yoga helps the mental side of our being. The benefits of a yoga practice on the mind cannot be acclaimed enough. Putting your physical body into a position, feeling the stillness of the mind as you concentrate your thoughts and mental effort into holding the pose, focusing on your breath while maintaining balance and posture… can you feel it? It calms, strengthens, refreshes, and nourishes the mind. Anyone suffering from anxiety, mental illness, or mental hyperactivity will benefit immensely. People who are weak-minded or anything of the sort will feel stronger in every way.

If you do not do yoga, as I know a lot of members here simply aren’t into it, then this can hamper your advancement. Energy/qi will stagnate in various areas of your body, and can manifest in abnormal and harmful ways. We are all individuals however, based on our past lives, inherited physical genetics, and so on. Some people don’t need much yoga at all to advance, while some other people may need a lot of yoga daily. If all you currently need is 10 minutes a day, then consider that at some point in the future, you might need to do more. And it might be that you only need to delve deeply into a yoga practice for a period of time, to work through whatever spiritual, physical, emotional, or mental obstacles you have, to reach a higher level, and then perhaps you can lessen your practice afterwards. This is all individual.

Yoga also re-trains the body and mind. A lot of people have defections in their body, and mental and emotional blockages. A proper yoga practice, combined with eating healthy food (which includes eating meat), and spiritual cleaning of the soul and chakras, will heal the body and mind. Yoga will help your muscles, nerves, organs, lungs, bones, spine, digestive system, hormones, brain... literally everything.

Certain asanas can feel unpleasant, not enjoyable for us. But as we advance in yoga and master the asanas, walls come down in the mind. Breakthroughs of all types often happen after we achieve the mastery of an asana we previously had trouble performing. Even just doing a modification of a difficult asana, held long enough, can accomplish this.

In closing, don’t ever look to yoga as being something weird, difficult, or strange. There are endless free resources online and in library books to teach yoga. Many videos too. Try some, see what feels good for you, and let your practice grow on it’s own!

As I read not long ago, HP Pythia said that it is very important to always direct the energy after raising it, preferably to something that points to your goals, here is the excerpt from where I support https://ancient-forums.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=68705

Yes I know, but when people get too rigid in "you have to do this, you have to do that" I like to remind people that you can just chill every now and then. Otherwise the mind gets bogged down.

I rarely direct my energy after Hatha Yoga, I just feel the buzz and over time many afflictions often resolve themselves.

Practiced Yoga for 2 hours a day (most days) for a period of 6 months, minimal spiritual advancement, flexibility increased. Stopped yoga and did a parasite cleanse with colloidal silver, Alkaline ionized water, as well as ozonated water and other anti parasitic herbs, healed a chronic fungal infection I was having as well as a lung tumor and started feeling the energy rise up my spine and enter my brain, 2 hours of yoga was not enough anymore, got lost in a trance of asanas and mantras many hours daily in meditation.
My point is Yoga is great but you need to be healthy and in homeostasis for it to be maximally effective. (Parasite eggs in vaccines, be careful who you have sex with as they are transmitted to weaken the population. Or just make some colloidal silver at home and wipe them out). Diet, water quality, nutrition etc... All play a part. I grow my own vegetables in my garden and I feel satiated from them, I don't eat meat however I do eat eggs from my own chickens and wild spirulina. Yoga is a key part of the puzzle but its still just a piece.

I used to go to Hatha Yoga classes four times a week and was very flexible.

Just tried some Yoga. And I've found after years of not stretching that it's something you can lose.

From being very flexible you can become very stiff.

Don't worry I will be persevering. There was a nice hot energy buzz lying down afterwards.

And I thought that's where spiritual energy flow is at.

What is the Merkaba in yoga? Is it just some visulization technique, I've heard a lot about it. Intereted in how to use it

I had previously linked a video. This is accurate, as shown in the pictures by Yogi Bhajan on pinklotus. All of this women's videos are accurate demonstrations of the kriyas on pinklotus, with the exception of some modifications which are still effective.

Thanks for the input. It is quite common for people to cry and let out emotions during practice, until the problems are resolved and cleared away.

I just want to improve quickly. By constantly doing a powerful meditation. I thought this was merkaba

Spiritual practice have many forms. They correspond and stimulates the soul in different respects. Yoga, power breaths, merkaba, vibration on the chakras using words of power, all increase the bioelectricity, strengthens and empower the soul and mind, but in different manners. The way to achieve power and strength is not in just one singular way, they are many. Yoga is one way, but one has to include other forms of spiritual practice as well. This is mandatory for safe and steady advancement of the human soul. Yoga alone can only do so far as advancement is concerned. Yoga combined with words of power and power breaths, now that's something else. This boosts advancement and much more.

I just direct them to general spiritual growth. When I do a session for a specific chakra I use Satanama mantra and the affirmation 'My [...] chakra is healthy and strong in the most positive and happy way for me'. When I combine asanas for all chakras I use the solar mantra (I like the feeling) and the affirmation 'My energies across all my body flow smoothly and continuously, without interruption, in the most positive and happy way for me'. Keep in mind I use them in my natal language and this english adaptation could not be the best

You're more likely to get a parasite from eating food across which numurous animals came as opposed to getting it from a vaccine ...

Also making colloidal silver at home.. seriously??? who has the time and money to buy al the equipment, set up a lab, make numerous batches to see if any of them are actuallt useable.. etc etc.
Bad idea.

There seems to be a misunderstanding here. Kundalini yoga is our path. What you call "other forms of spiritual practice" are YOGA. Yoga is made of 8 branches, not just the physical poses and kriya. It is the eightfold path of Lady Inanna:

1. Asanas
2. Pranayama
3. Dhyana
4. Mantra
5. Mudra
6. Yantra
7. Bandha
8. Maithuna

All those are branches of yoga. So, yeah, yoga covers the full spectrum of advancement.

Colloidal silver is actually quite easy to produce, a couple 9 volt batteries and some silver wire, silver is not toxic and there are no risks involved, just like all of the NOBLE metals, because they are for the Elites, every King had an alchemist back in the day. (Now we are told alchemists were crazy fools who tried to turn lead to gold lol).

Noble metals are called noble because they are for the most part unreactive towards other elements.

The statement about turning lead to gold is symbolic for spiritual process of mastering your soul.

You've been such a help to so many, not just in your posts but in your responses as well.

I'm finding it difficult to motivate myself to do any form of exercise at home. When I'm in my room my mind focuses on meditation, learning and entertainment.

I'm thinking of going back to the gym (after years of avoiding it) and doing stretches there and perhaps a few yoga classes to get a feel for it. After that I'll motivate myself to get a yoga mat and do some poses at home.

My question for you: what is it that sets (physical) yoga apart from working out and stretching? I know my mind is trying to make excuses to avoid it for some reason. Still, from a physiological point of view I can't see it offering further benefits when compared to other methods of exercise. In your experience does it improve energy strength/flow more than HIT with regular stretching? (Note - there's probably more stretching involved and I'm not very flexible, hence the possible mental avoidance).

Thanks and sorry for all the weird questions. :roll:
I don't mean to undermine your post.

It's quite easy to produce something that is not colloidal silver but ionic silver and similar and that gives you argyria.

Alchemists had never anything to do with physical metals or anything physical. It's about the soul and the spirit. Let's not confuse alchemy with chemistry, please.

Your first statement seems like something my chemistry teacher would say xD
The second statement I agree with, but mastering the physical body is also a way to master the soul as they are connected in this hologram. :D

Chemistry came from Alchemy. They are the same expect chemistry has no spiritual aspect to it, only materialism.

Everyone has a different perception of what real and fake is, what may seem real is just empty space and energy condesnsed into a vibration, a phantom of the universal mind.

Most New Age philosophies, which it sounds like you come from, are very heavy on the "dreamy" aspects of spirituality, represented by Pisces, Neptune, and the Crown Chakra. As you know, people who are not spiritual may be overly grounded, and also stereotyped as cynical, depressed, etc. This is represented by Saturn, which rules grounding and the base chakra.

Thanks for all that you do in these forums, Blitz :)
