Contributions to a new Yoga Will

If a person wants to observe development in connection with spirituality in coherent forms, this must not stay with one-sided enquiry, that only concerns the material plane and its detailed analyses.

In all life situations, particularly at times of illness, it would be very beneficial if both patient and therapist could succeed in developing a very clear, body-free and thus a ‘sattva’ consciousness, in the way that has been presented in the last article. Is illness people’s actual enemy, or aren’t  all sorts of complications a result of the adverse, unredeemed and exhausting states of consciousness of those who are ill, or not only of those who are ill, but even their friends, relatives and lastly the therapists treating them?

Exercises that lead to a growing consciousness, mental stability and ultimately favourable development, always require concrete and logical mental pictures. What does the word ‘concrete’ actually mean? It means something like ‘graphic’ or expressed in a different way, ‘sufficiently comprehensible for perception and judgement’. Both the therapist and the patient must strive for this careful logic and mental picturing.

In this sense, the vocation of yoga teaching is not a trivial affair that goes alongside the usual worldly professions. Read More …

The three determinants of being in nature and human existence, which according to the ancient sankhya philosophy are called sattva, rajas and tamas, can be found in the human body. When these three forces, which can be analogously translated as purity, restlessness and lethargy, are in a favourable relationship, there is generally good mental-physical well-being. Lethargy should, in the best sense of the word, provide rest and recuperation. Read More …

The so-called Shankhya philosophy from the East, uses a very practical terminology to subdivide the various manifestations of human existence and nature into three different limbs. These are the so-called guna, the qualities of existence, and they are called sattva, rajas and tamas. All visible phenomena and subsequently all human actions can be identified according to this threefold articulation. Read More …

After a successful hike in the mountains or around a lake, people almost always feel refreshed and reenergised. While stressful work situations, with their many intellectual exertions, exhaust the nervous system and the autonomic system, the quiet tread of the steps on an alpine pasture and the natural, airy, enveloping atmosphere at the height of the mountains provide a feeling of being taken in and of relaxed protection.

Natural sunlight, unfiltered and pure, mild and warming, provides the human organism with a natural stimulation of the periphery, that in general transports structuring processes right into the organic interior.
