Prana

" post_id=316597 time=1642436089 user_id=57]

Please can you post a few series of asanas that includes forward bends and backward bends. Thank you. You are doing a great job for us.
Secondly is there any difference between prana and vril?

Well, there are a lot that can be easily found online, so I don't think there's a need for me to post any.

I think and hope so. It was last active on December 8. Really had good posts, especially about Sanskrit and kundalini.

Should one avoid all breathing exercises for the time being if they have this? I also have it but didnt realize it would potentially be an issue

Some literally can't be done, but others can. I've done breath of fire during a cold where one nostril was blocked and it was fine.

Thank you for this wonderful post and breathing exercises dear guardian Lydia

Have you got any way to raise apana?
Is the yoga for the 6th chakra the best solution?

I have realised that pranayama helps you sustain a more into the earth and staying in the moment existence, however it still is quite hard sometimes to let go of all the worries in my stressfull life and all the ifs and buts that has happened.

If by raise apana you mean literally, no, it is a downward flow. Forward bends will help manage and balance it (increase it if too low).

Yes, stress often throws us off course, but it is good you keep coming back to yoga :)

Thank you very much! I benefited a lot from this. :)

Thanks for linking those books :)

I have recommended more books in past posts, BKS Iyengar's Light on Yoga and Path To Holistic Health. Ann Swanson's Yoga Anatomy is good too.

As for that song, it is on youtube in various forms by many artists. I've heard quite a few versions.

jeez :roll: I think I'll take this as a memo to re read posts till it sinks in. I saw the two different breaths and honed in on that, but thank you though I greatly appreciate it.

have a wonderful day Lydia.

No worries, you have a wonderful day too :)

Yes, I actually have some of his posts saved in a word doc on my computer. I will have to look through and see if more should be added.

You gave me a good idea. I think I could make a list of his important posts in Word and then upload them to mega.nz , maybe others will benefit.

Be obsessed with your past lifes, staying anonymous and wanting to stay disconnected from society to the point that I do not even have a mobile phone and also not wanting to be linked to anyone other than another Zevism can indicate an excess of Pana?

I kind like that except I have a phone! Its a bit much not having a phone! I also have no social media

This would only be just a little consequence unrelated, from your planetary placements and soul composition, current life circumstances and different tendencies.

Try working with Wunjo and heal the traumas of the emotions and psyche. Learn and be inspired by beautiful bonds and idealistic nature of things and try to induce and create them in your life. You tendency is born as a subconscious response to imprints, and lead you to not satisfy your necessities.

Do also the Ptah meditation and try to discover your needs and discern the whys and how's, the spiritual nature needs to be reflected in reality and vice-versa.

Similarly, try to clean and focus more on your lower chakras, very important. Put yourself first and start seeding the basis of which your being will modulate and apply itself on life. Privacy is amazing, isolation has it's place as well deserved, however not to the point of these controlling you or interfering with your necessities and satisfaction of being.

Prana is defined as “that which moves inward”. It includes: Inhalation, eating, receiving mental and sensory stimulation. [1]

If you notice most people today, they neglect the first (pranayama; breathing exercises), which leads to going overboard on the others. Many people act like they are trying to cram as much mental and/or sensory stimulation into their minds as possible. Many people are addicted to youtube videos, social media, video games, random useless information online or on TV, just for the sake of mental/sensory stimulation.

If you notice the same in yourself, especially if you feel lethargic, try focusing more on pranayama. Try going for 15 minutes a day, focusing on your breath. Alternate nostril breathing to start, then switch to a triangle* or square* breath (described at the end). Finish by simply observing your normal breathing pattern without judgment, don’t try to force anything, simply observe it. This is also a form of Void meditation, so you will have the additional benefits.

interesting and really superb advice wasn't aware of some of this than you Lydia :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: i really enjoy the advice you give on the forums and stuff you talk about

" post_id=316269 time=1642357427 user_id=57]I'm glad :)

Lydia!

Do you still use the same e-mail all these years?

Other counts as well, not just 4's, I should clarify that. Personally I prefer to count in mantras, not in numbers. So for 4's, Sa-Ta-Na-Ma, and if 8, then 2 Satanama's. For 6's, I mentally state "Hail-Say-Tan" twice. As an example.

:O **Mind blown...**

That actually makes the world of sense to me, and come to think of it the best sessions I ever had (to the point of feeling Father's smile or seeing Astarte) I was using SATANAS as a mantra so ..wow, I'm gonna switch all I do to that now.

As for your main post, you're just BRILLIANT, Lydia. We're so lucky to have you among us.

This also comes with a perfect timing as a couple nights ago after my Rituals and trying to calmly meditate in bed and speak with Satan, I had a moment of complete emotional breakdown and I now realize that might be depending on too much Apana.. your explanation just hits every spot in my checklist, even my "slightly hunching", forward posture could be responsible for that (actually, a lot of people who do nothing all day but watch videos and shit are leaning forward too much and for too long, bending the spine into this stance even when they get up). I'm not watching videos all day obviously and I recently started to work out more regularly than I ever had (seen big results in three weeks already, barely feels like my body anymore lol) but I also started a small online business (in 3D art) that forces me at the computer for a good few hours a day, and I'm used to read and typing a lot normally, so that's something I have to fix.

Thank you so much for your hints then.. I just have to include more daily Yoga and especially work on my Cobra asana and backward alike, and on Voiding the mind with controlling my breathing. This is going to be extremely useful.

HAIL SATAN FOREVER!

That's a pocketful of real satanic information.Thanks for the information Lydia.
Hail Father Satan.

" post_id=317248 time=1642575134 user_id=57]Yes, Kino is really good at the mindful aspect of yoga. She really dedicated her life to yoga, for more than 20 years now. I don't do Asthanga yoga, but the poses are the same in hatha, so it's good to read through her books for a good idea on how to do them. Same with BKS Iyengar.

Is there a reason why it's called Ashtanga Yoga?

I get annoyed at Yoga from a Westerner perspective on the personalization of Yoga. I understand it is a generic template that can be modified by a person. For example using blocks I'm aware of that aspect maybe a seated forward bend with a block on your head to bend just enough you "stretch" but not enough it is over bearing against the weight of your body.

I think the problem is there isn't Godly assistance. I'm sure the Gods never intended Yoga to be a fierce competition of individualism or hyper-individualism. For example you mentioned Iyengar I know that is a good Yoga for someone who is learning or wanting to educate others on it. It takes two years as a student and a further two years with a educator/s training almost everyday. IF you wish to pursue it in professional manner. Something that isn't wrong I know not everyone has time for professional financial earning but for learning to do it right i.e. avoid pain, discomfort, damage it seems interesting.

Unfortunately not to sound like spirituality should not be rewarded with financial and or otherwise; I disagree I'm sure in the time of the Gods people got various rewards for spiritual publicity. But I view this aspect as hyper-competition of spiritual practices. Do my practice no do mines no mines etc.etc.etc. it seems without the Gods and advanced Human and trainers it seems everything sputters around into a hyper-individualized competition of my XYZ is better than your XYZ.

That's the thing funny enough I have my yoga routine it's a JOS routine put together by HP.Cobra I've added to it. For example doing Tree position and L/R side bends. But other than that my routine is the same. I don't enjoy physically doing things my physicality is lacking. I'll admit I've had a few short lived highs lifting and stressing my body at times and getting a relaxing, chemical high. But other than a few bits and effects I don't go out of my way to physicalize.

I think if you studied my chart and sat down and talked to me, which even if you viewed my physical body. You'd immediately notice I mostly care about mental, spiritual properties. Not spiritual as we study it but in a I ignore the carnal body. You'd probably notice I learn for the sake of learning and have a deep internalization and over-reliance on intuition. Basically with my zodiac and astro chart you may even state I seem to have a lot of feminine astrological features for a man. Like the astrologer before he deleted his blogsite "Feminine divine acquisition and Witch powers providing further femininity". Now obviously it does not mean I want to be a Woman, change myself, it just means that for a guy I have a lot of properties dealing with the Yin side of things.

I understand the whole bag with Yoga. But doing physical exercises or doing certain things has not changed me or done anything or whatever. I guess I just don't want to waste my time when I have more important things like thinking, processes, or just relaxing. I'll do it but don't expect miracles with me.

If you saw my body you'd realize I'm not into physically existing. Reminds me of a few years ago my father got pissed off at me before I shouted shit back to him, I was opening myself up more so I didn't stay quiet which I regret ever talking back and changing myself to being a person who replies back and talk I'd rather just keep quiet. But he said "How the hell can you my son be weaker than me. When I grew up I was the weakest kid but I always lifted the most. A child is supposed to be stronger than their parents". Yeah maybe in a normal world but not in clownworld, that time of existence has long, long passed by; reminds me of a video recently from Tim Pool mentioning testosterone rates are at a 20 year low, 20 years ago people had more testosterone.

Now you know why I say and repeat stuff like life sucks or like is a piece of shit. Or humanity sucks or I hate humanity. Like the Aquarian quote I love Humanity but hate the people. Funny it gets to the point sometimes that I hate both. I'm probably making myself sound like some nihilistic anarchist I guess in learning and feeling about myself I am nihilistic and very cutthroat maybe even delving into anarchy. But that is my personal internal study of my body. Reminds me of the emails between my friend when I studied both the JoS '36 Dugdale MK and the '39 Dr.Dalton MK and funny enough I still don't know WTF WW2 regime is. I just understand it as a guy going on political rants on why most people and most professional politicians are pieces of shits and don't know jack shit on politics nor history.

Several problems come together at the same time: a large amount of traumas, karma and curses accumulated during many past lives, although I have cleared much of the traumas, there is still a lot of repressed anger in the base chakra that makes me dificult to grounding.
Regarding karma, on October 31st I started a work to obliterate the negative aspects of my Saturn and it has made many problems that were latent come to the surface.
Lastly, I also have some planetary aspects that make me tend to be an antisocial and reserved person, such as Venus and Pluto retrogrades.

Thank you, Lydia. I agree with everything you said in this post. It helps me to understand a lot of of things, for real.

Thank you very much Lydia.
Personally, whenever I am overwhelmed by anything I instinctively want to slow down, dim the lights and de-stimukate myself.
I need to wind down and go into Happy Baby Pose a lot.
In fact, when I was a kid I needed to form my arms into an 'x' shape, like on Egyptian mummies. It made me feel safe, back then.

Drinking a lot of water helps me regulate my emotions.
Alongside eating my foods in a certain temperature, warmer when in need of nurturing, and cooler when I feel hyperactive.
My Dosha is Vata (ether/air), and I am sensitive and an overthinker by nature.

Saving my most relaxing activities for right before bed, and eliminating phone time helps me unWIND (haha, see what I did there).

I am wondering about this very much, like needing to do alternate nostril breath first thing in the morning. Thank you for sharing. We are all always learning much from you, like we would from a Team Mom. 💚

I also used to cross my arms like a mummy, as I was very drawn to Ancient Egypt as a child. I did it every night when going to bed, and it made me feel safer too.

Yes, doing pranayama especially alternate nostril is great for first thing in the morning, it helps set the tone for the day: being more balanced and in tune with oneself.

Thank you, I'm glad to be of help :)

May you have many blessings. 👘

I'll be honest, I never thought of yoga as being something that empowers us so much spiritually. That is not until I started reading your posts. Thank you for this amazing information!

I read something interesting that I thought I should share:

"The popular “serpent power” known as kundalini shakti comes from prana. It is the inner energy that transforms our consciousness, develops from this awakened prana".

So this prana, it's basically a kind of energy that circulates throughout our entire body? I never knew breathing exercises were also considered yoga. I will definitely be exploring this more! I have much to learn but at least I have no where but up to go. :lol:

Thank you Lydia!

Yes, Yoga transforms and builds the soul and other aspects of our being :)

Just wanted to add that all branches of the eightfold path are yoga. Asana, pranayama, dhyana (meditation), mantra, yantra, mudra, bandha, maithuna.

Lydia please what about people who can't control their minds , like day dreaming , and talking with your self in the mind and all those kind of fantacy in mind , can this help or you have another remedies for this .

This is what void meditation is for. Try it for at least four consecutive days, and you will see improvement in mind control
