Yoga is the Art and Science of Creating a Healthy Body and Mind

Meditation was the beginning of Yoga

When master yogis in ancient India practiced meditation, they discovered a profound sense of oneness with everything. It was through this enlightened state of consciousness that yoga poses (or asanas) spontaneuously evolved. The masters were simply inspired to move as a result of their meditative state of mind. Others copied their movements and breathwork and meditative practices in order to experience well-being and this is how yoga began.

The practice of meditation establishes a line of communication between our own mind and the infinite. We eventually begin to realize that we are a part of everything. The only way to understand this is to experience it through meditation!

Meditation

What is meditation?

Meditation is the only daily practice that is essential for enlightenment. It requires a conscious willingness to enter your stillness and experience yourself without judgment, expectation or commentary. You become the jobserver and the observed all at once. Frequently you will wonder, "am I doing this the right way?" That's when you know you've slipped back into judgment, expectation and commentary. No big deal, just follow your next breath back home. Meditation is the most intimate and most direct line to your spirit. Anyone can do it, it's simple and free and its the most natural state of being. Find out what meditation is and how to make it work for you.
