TRUST YOGA

Definition and Philosophy

Yogic system is a profound science of aligning the geometry of the body to the cosmic geometry. Yoga means union. In the cosmos, we are all ONE. Everything in the universe is energy. In sub-atomic level, we cannot find matter, there is only pure energy. The law of vibration states that everything in the universe, seen or unseen, moves and vibrates at different frequency. Energy is constantly at flow, changing form all the time. Energy is neither destroyed nor created. Everything in the universe is made of the same stuff. It is just present in different forms and shapes.

The difference between the manifestations of the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual results simply from different levels of vibrating energy, or frequencies.

The way we feel within our bodies affects not only us, but the world beyond. The inner world creates the outer world. When our conscious minds dwell habitually on thoughts of a certain quality, these become firmly imbedded within the subconscious mind. They become the dominant vibration. This dominant vibration sets up a resonance with other similar vibration and draw them into our lives.

As everything in the universe vibrates at different rates, various sorts of waves are passing about in the universe. Some waves oppose each other and bring about discord, disharmony and rupture. Some other waves move harmoniously side by side. Then there is peace and harmony.

When two frequencies are brought together, the lower will always rise to meet the higher. This is the principle of resonance. Using this principal of resonance, we can actually increase the speed at which the molecules in our bodies vibrate, through our thoughts of love, joy and gratitude. When atoms slow down, third dimensional matter is created; when they speed up, the higher dimensions of consciousness can be reached. And the higher our consciousness is raised, the closer to Spirit we become.

Humans live by the old saying "seeing is believing". We generate doubt when we do not see. Before the plane was invented, no human believed we could fly. Before it was a "fact", the earth was flat. Most people are looking inside our frame of knowledge, they only relate to what they can see, verify and test. They only use their sensory level to define their frame of knowledge at the time we are living.

If we TRUST the inner self, the root of yoga, and we are ONE, "believing will make us see". The philosophy of TRUST YOGA is to create an environment where everyone learns to trust, believe and be confident of oneself; within family; between teacher and student; between husband and wife; among friends, colleagues, relatives, classmates and others. This positive energy will connect and bond everybody harmoniously.

What is Yoga

Samatavam Yoga Uchyate (2:48 from Bhagavad Gita) : Samatavam is yoga; equanimity is yoga. It means being able to maintain one's balance of mind in success and failure, gain and loss, pleasure and pain, and that is the aptitude of a perfect master who remains equipoised in all circumstances.

Yoga is the art and science of systematically observing, accepting, understanding, and training each of the levels of our being such that we may coordinate and integrate those aspects of ourselves, and dwell in the direct experience of the center of consciousness.

Yoga is a psycho-physical discipline developed in India, roots back to about 5,000 years. The word "Yoga" is related to the Old English "Yoke". It means union. Traditionally, it means union with the Absolute, called Brahman, or with the True Self, known as Atman. Today, the focus is more on the physical fitness and mental wellness.

There are four type of yoga, namely:

Jnana

The path of knowledge or wisdom

Bhakti

The path of devotion

Karma

The path of action

Raja

The path of self-control

In our modern society today, different styles of Yoga are being introduced : Iyengar, Ashtanga, Hatha, Jivamukti, Kripalu, Kundalini, Sivanada to name a few.

Yoga is, in all fundamentals, the science of human personality. It is a self-encompassing science that takes all aspects of human personality into consideration like physical, physiological, emotional, behavioral, environmental, social and human interaction with the supernatural. This is a science that develops through various physical and mental exercises. These are directed towards the development of the muscular-skeletal systems, and also strengthening of the nervous system, circulatory system, digestive system, respiratory system, endocrinal system and other organic and biochemical functions of the body. The science of yoga also teaches how to relax all the systems. This practice is of preventive nature so that all systems of the body feel relaxed and do not undergo excessive stress.

Yoga also believes that all negativities prevailing in the human thought process result in many imbalances in all the systems of the human body. These disproportions further result in causing more imbalances in the environment. Since thoughts are considered to be pure energy that does not get dissipated easily, they keep floating around in the universe. If the collective thought process of the world gets distorted it results in causing many calamities both natural and man-made. Yoga is considered to be a deep-rooted philosophy with the ultimate goal of correction of the thought process of the entire human race.

The science of yoga ultimately leads to development of the self and its furtherance into the path of the divine. This paves a path for world peace. So ultimately yoga is a science that can be used for achieving greater goals of world peace and freedom from all the discrepancies and negativities prevailing in society.
