8 limbs yoga
8 members is in yoga, how to include 8 members?

The 8 members are: Yama - moral observances for interactions with other Yama has different meanings in different contexts. It can mean "control, curb, or bridle, discipline or restrictions" In the present context, is used to mean "self-control, patience, or a rule or major assignment. It can also be interpreted as "attitude" or "behavior". While a particular attitude may be expressed as the discipline that affects our behavior. Patanjali Yoga Sutra mentions five different Yama, ie, patterns of behavior or relationships between the individual and the outside world. Ahimsa (Security) The word ahimsa literally mean not to damage or show cruelty to any creature or any person in any way. Ahimsa is, however, rather than the absence of violence as adapted in yoga. This means goodness, kindness and consider others and things. Also has to do with our duties and responsibilities. One could even say that we must fight if our lives are in danger. Ahimsa implies that in each situation, we must take an attitude. Satya (truth) Satya means "tell the truth," however, is not always easy to tell the truth every opportunity, because it could hurt someone unnecessarily. We must examine what we say, what we say and how it might affect others. If say the truth has negative consequences for another, then it is better to say nothing. Satya should never conflict with our efforts to cope with ahimsa. The Mahabharata, the great Indian epic, says: "Speak the truth, which is nice. Do not speak unpleasant truths. Do not lie, even if the lies are pleasing to the ear. This is the law eternal Dharma. "Note that this does not mean to speak a lie. The silence and lies are two different things. Asteya (steal) asteya Yama is the third. Asteya means "steal" is the opposite asteya accept anything that is not ours. This means that if we are in a situation where someone you trust or something that we have entrusted to us, do not enjoy it. We refrain of taking what is not ours by right of conscience and karma. chastity (control of senses), chastity is a movement towards the essential truth. Used primarily on the sense of withdrawal, particularly regarding sexual activity. Chastity suggests that we form relationships that foster understanding of higher truths. If the sensual pleasures are part of this relationship, we must maintain our leadership and not lost. Avoid relationships that we can depart in search of eternal truth. In the way of serious and constant search for truth, there are some ways to control the direction perception and sexual desires. Chastity does not mean celibacy. It means that the responsible behavior toward our objective of moving towards truth. Aparigraha (neutralizing the desire to acquire and accumulate wealth) This is aparigraha yama, a word means something like "hands" or "seize the moment". Aparigraha means taking only what needed and not take advantage of a situation or act greedy. We should take what we've won, and if we take over, we exploit someone else. In addition, the prizes in May involve obligations that might cause problems later. The Yoga Sutra describes what happens when these five behaviors outlined above become part of everyday life a person. For example, if we become kind and considerate, our presence will create a pleasant and welcoming people around us. And if we remain faithful to the idea of Satya, everything we are telling the truth. We become trustworthy. In India, a big word is considered active. Yoga Sutra also provides that a person who is firmly anchored in asteya receive all the jewels of this world. Such a person may not be interested by material wealth, but he or she has access to the best things in life. The more you recognize and find the meaning of the essential truth, the less will distracted by other things. Admittedly, it takes great strength to take this route. The Yoga Sutra teaches us that faith more than we have, the more energy we have. At the same time, they are also more difficult to achieve our objectives. So the more we seek the truth in the sense of chastity, more vitality, we must do. Parigraha is the growing orientation towards material things. If we reduce parigraha aparigraha and grow, we are more focused on ourselves inside. The less time we spend in our property, we need to spend more to research what we call yoga. We will learn to appreciate what we have instead of constantly seeking things that do not have and never take pleasure in life. It is a scientific fact that money and more material goods that we have, the more stressful it can be. Niyama - Moral observances for interactions with yourself Niyama is a Sanskrit word which means rules or laws. These are the standards prescribed by the compliance staff. As the five Yamas, niyama exercises or activities are not simply studied. Who represents much more than an attitude. Compared to the Yamas, the niyama are more intimate and personal. They concern the attitude we adopt toward ourselves. The first Niyama is Sauca cleaning Sauce. Sauce both inside and outside. The exterior cleaning simply means staying clean. The internal cleansing has to do with the operation healthy, free of our body organs like with the clarity of our mind. The practice of asanas or pranayama are essential means to address this internal Sauca. Niyama is Samtosa Another samtosa, modesty and the feeling of being happy with what we have. Literally, the word means "happiness". There are times when we strive to achieve something. We were very disappointed when I do not. Some people can not enter into extreme depression as a result. Some people may even contemplate suicide in extreme cases. We do these things because we have the discipline to be content with what we have. We must accept there is a purpose for everything - called karma yoga. In "Celestine Prophecy" by James Redfield called synchronicity. Samtosa The real meaning is "to accept whatever happens. God has a plan. Christians pray: "Thy will." Accept what God has given us with humility and happiness. Be happy with what we have reason to be happy with what has not. Comments on Yoga Sutra says: "Happiness is more important than all sixteen heavens together." Instead to complain about things that go wrong, we can not accept what happened and learn from them. Samtosa encompasses our mental activities such as study our physical effort, and even how we save lives. It is ourselves, what we have and how we feel that God has given us. In our opinion, forever. We look at a glass half empty or half full? Tapas Tapas refers to the activity of keeping the body fit or to confront and manage domestic demand without external splendor. Literally means to heat the body and thereby to clean. Behind the notion of tapas lies the idea that we can get rid of garbage in our bodies. Asanas and pranayama are tools we can use to stay healthy. A Another form of tapas is attentive to what we eat. Eating when not hungry is the opposite of tapas. Attention to body posture, attention to the habits food, attention to breathing patterns, these are the plugs that help prevent the accumulation of garbage in the body, including overweight and breathlessness. Tapas can fit around the body and works well. It gives us the discipline to develop healthy eating habits and prevent us of hypercholesterolemia, hypertension and heart disease. The fourth is svadhyaya svadhyaya Niyama. SVA means "self" or "mine". Adhyaya means "research" or "review". Svadhyaya The word literally means "being close to something." This means being close to you, ie self-consideration. It could also mean meditation or contemplation. It teaches us to be concentrated and not reacting to the dualities, to burn unwanted and destructive tendencies. All learning, all thoughts, all the contacts to help you learn about yourself is svadhyaya. In the context of the expression Niyama is usually translated as "the study of ancient texts." Yes, Yoga teaches us to read ancient texts, because we can not always sit back and watch things. We need benchmarks. The world is changing rapidly around us. We read the Bible or a book on spiritual healing or one that is of personal importance or the Yoga Sutra. According to Yoga Sutra, while we progress in our self-examination, which are gradually link with the divine laws and the prophets, He has revealed. And since the mantra often recited to this end, we find svadhyaya sometimes translated as "the repetition of mantras. Isvarapranidhana means Isvarapranidhana" to put all their shares at the feet of God. "It is the contemplation of God (Isvara) to become in harmony with God and God's will. We must accept the fact they do not always receive all what we want. Sometimes I am disappointed. Things can go wrong. Therefore (samtosa modesty) is so important. We have done our part. We have made our best under the circumstances. We leave the rest to a higher power. Asana - Posture asana is one of the eight limbs of yoga. "Asana" means being or permanent. It is through asanas that a person attains the unity of body and mind. In the west, asana is commonly called "posture" or "pose". The asanas (postures) are designed for the purpose of comfort and strength in meditation and pranayama. The ideal asana for meditation is one in which a person is sitting in an upright posture. When a person performs an asana there is a corresponding mental balance between his movement and immobility. In his famous Yoga Sutra, Patanjali says that each posture reflects a mental attitude that the attitude to be a delivery or strengthening of the will or creating a phrase with the physical body. For performance and practice of various postures, we are able to learn how to handle difficult situations. This is possible because we are in a better position to know our bodies. We mentioned that the greatest advantage of asanas is that it helps them get used to different situations and be able to meet different requirements. Another important aspect asanas is that it can temporarily bring peace and free the mind from all worries. The silence of the mind, promotes balance functions mental person. The soothing effect of asanas in the brain has been verified by EEG data of brain during meditation. This shows that the asanas have implications for healing. According to Patanjali, the roast and pranayama practices to achieve the desired state of health in an individual. It also helps to control respiration. In short, the asanas (poses) to harmonize the energy flow in the body, raising the spirits of people to practice. Pranayama - Breathing Pranayama is the fourth of Ashtanga Yoga. Pranayama is the measuring, control and direction of breath. Pranayama controls the energy in the body to restore and maintain health and promote development. Pranayama gives control of breathing processes and control the life force. When incoming air is neutralized or joined with the breath of the casting, then realized relaxation and balance between the activities of the body. In yoga, we concerned about the balance of flows of vital forces, then directing them into the system chakras and upwards to the crown chakra or thousand petals lotus. Pranayama or breathing technique is very important in yoga. It goes hand in hand with Asanas and position. In the Yoga Sutras, the practices of pranayama and asanas are considered the highest form of purification and self-discipline for the mind and body, respectively. Practices that produce the physical sensation heat, called tapas, or the inner fire of purification. It teaches that this heat is part of the process of purification of nadis or channels nervous subtle body. This allows a more healthy to be tested and allows the mind to remain calm. Pratyahara - Sensory Pratyahara is inhibition fifth of Ashtanga Yoga. Pratyahara means pulling back or retreat. Ahara The word "meaning food"; pratyahara translates to "withdraw yourself what nourishes the senses. "In yoga, the term implies pratyahara withdrawal of the senses from attachment to external objects. What does this mean? It means our senses stop living off of things that stimulate the senses no longer depend on these stimulants and are not fed by them more. Let this concept a little closer. When you see a sunset, first our eyes are drawn to him, his eyes sent a message to the brain, brain-computer assimilate information transmitted by the eyes and the shape of the image of the sun. This is how our senses function normally. But there is also the possibility the most beautiful sunset on earth does not attract our attention, not to our senses because they are deeply immersed in something else. We may focus on something without being aware of what is happening around us. Normally, the senses tell the mind: "Look at this! Smell Touch This! What" The senses register an object and the mind is drawn to this subject at a time. In pratyahara to break the link between mind and senses and the senses are withdrawn. Everyone has a perception sense of the quality of individuals involved: the eyes relate to the form of something, ears with noise, vibration that makes your nose to smell. In pratyahara is as if things are spread all sites before our senses, but ignored the meaning remain unmoved and uninfluenced. Indeed, the brain account for everything received by the various sensory organs and we only accept and process signals from sensory organs to the control brain. Now, we control of our senses rather than being controlled by them. For example, when we are totally absorbed in the breath during pranayama, pratyahara occurs almost automatically. The mind is so intensely occupied with the encouragement that all links between mind, senses and external objects that have nothing to do with breathing intersect. Pratyahara While not a dream state. The senses are able to answer, but not because they have retired or separated. Dharana - Focus Dharana is the sixth of Ashtanga Yoga. On the literal word "Dharana" means "concentration unwavering spirit. "The idea underlying principal is Dharana concentration or focus in one direction or purpose. Dharana is a form of meditation may be called receptive concentration. With the help of Dharana a set of conditions are created by which the mind focuses on guidance and a goal rather than focus in many directions. Dharana is fixing the mind focused on achieving a stable entity. Although easier said than done, but after starting with small steps can achieve the desired results. Rolling his eyes upward and to down to obtain the concentration of one to one in one direction after another is a good way to start the concentration practice. Any selected object the practice of Dharana has nothing to do with meditation. This is just to keep the spirit of wandering through memories, dreams, or thinking thoughtful, deliberate with holding the mind on an object, apparently static. After being purified by the practice of yoga, mind is able to focus more on an issue or point. After reaching the position of an individual is willing to release great potential for healing interior. If the yogi chooses to focus on a center ( "chakra") of the flow of energy inside, he or she directly blocks imbalances experience physical and mental that persist on your system. This ability to concentrate depends on excellent psychological health and integration and is not an escape from reality but rather a movement towards the perception of its true nature. Dhyana - Meditation Dhyana is a member of the sessions Ashtanga Yoga. Dhyana means worship, or profound and abstract religious meditation. Contemplation is perfect. It focuses on a point of discussion with the intention of Learn the truth about it. During dhyana, the consciousness is still unified by combining the ideas in clear distinctions between objects and between layers of subtle sails around intuition. You learn to distinguish between the mind of the observer, the means of perception and the objects perceived, between words, their meanings and ideas, and between all levels of the evolution of nature. We realize that all these are merged into one undifferentiated continuum. Must be stopped at once subject and object to clearly perceive their similarities to a clear understanding of the true identity of two apparently different requires a clear understanding of their apparent differences. This is Dhyana apprehension of the identity between real differences conspicuous. Samadhi - absorption blissful of individual consciousness in the essence of God. Samadhi is the final step in Ashtanga Yoga. When we succeed to become so absorbed in something that our mind becomes one with him, we are in a state of Samadhi. Samadhi means "together, combining. "In Samadhi our personal identity, name, occupation, family status, social security number, number of driving licenses, etc.-disappears completely. Currently there is no samadhi. Nothing separates us from the object of our choice, but they blend and become one with him. During samadhi, we realize that it is to be an identity without differences, and how a liberated soul can enjoy pure awareness of pure identity. The conscious mind falls into oblivion that the unconscious, the first day. The last step ends at the moment where the soul is freed. The absolute and eternal freedom of a single soul is beyond all stages and beyond all time and place. Once released, did not return to serfdom. Thus, samadhi refers to union of contemplation to be the subject of contemplation. Here, the object of meditation and the meditator become one. It is as if the processing unit is the union of function and structure. The polarity of the audience and see, as the polarity of opposites, is no longer relevant, the mind does not distinguish between self and nonself, or between the object and the process under contemplation. There are several stages of Samadhi, as it identifies with the object while it was yet aware of the object, or is past the object of meditation and is based on the experience of being without support or conceptual without the support of any aspect of consciousness. Pratyahara, Dhahran, Dhyana and Samadhi can not be practiced. A person can not just sit and say: "Now Dhahran I will do. "Everyone can do is create the right conditions to help achieve a state of Dhahran; For example, he or she may practice asanas and pranayama, as the Yoga Sutra, creating favorable conditions for the mind to enter these states. To experience Dhahran and Dhyana the mind must first be in a particular condition. Allow the many things that happen in the mind to solve what is silent. If the mind is too busy to respond to external stimuli, you can not enter a state of Dhahran. Forcing Dhahran when your mind is not ready for that can cause trouble. For this reason the Yoga Sutra suggests the practice of asanas and pranayama as preparation for Dhahran, since the activities of influence mental and create a space in the crowded calendar of mind. Dhahran Once produced, Dhyana and Samadhi can follow.
