Kripalu Yoga
Kripalu Yoga is a unique approach to Hatha Yoga originally created by Yoga Amrit Desai. Rooted in the ancient vedic scriptures and teachings of India, Kripalu Yoga is a systematic means of integrating the body, the mind, and the emotions through gentle, meditative yoga postures. In its advanced form it is a spontaneous continual flow of asanas guided by an inner wisdom without the assistance of the conscious mind. The practice of Kripalu yoga concerns the whole human being: physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. Through the movements and postures of the physical body combined with simple breathing techniques you release physical and emotional tension, the mind calms its restless nature, and the inner, ever present spirit is experienced more fully. It is a "Meditation in Motion" form of yoga. You become spiritually awake and mentally present in a relaxed body. Meditation
In the beginning stages of meditation you become aware of the "witness consciousness" by simply observing the thoughts and emotions passing through you, with out attachment or judgment of them. Other meditation techniques use the practice of focusing on a single object, thought, or sound to draw the mind to one-pointedness. Typically a mantra or a breathing technique is used to concentrate the mind so that it becomes quieter, and a deeper stillness and oneness with the universe can be experienced. The mantra used in the Kripalu Yoga lineage is OM NAMO BHAGAVATE VASUDEVA. Energy Healing
