Liberation of Consciousness
Overview
There's a mantra close to my heart: Baba Nam Kevalam. Originating from Sanskrit, its translation varies, but the essence remains profound. While "God's name only" is a direct translation, I often share with my yoga students that it means "Everything is an expression of the supreme consciousness," emphasizing a truth that transforms lives?"from the mundane to the sublime, ignorance to wisdom, and chaos to peace.
The Essence of Consciousness
Reflecting on "consciousness" brings me joy. It's liberating to truly be aware. If I tell my children it's snowing, they'll rush to the window, hungry for the experience of snow, beyond mere words. For them, snow is a rare and thrilling joy, capturing their attention, lifting them from their everyday concerns to a state of blissful focus. Snow becomes art, raising their spirits to a loftier level.
Understanding Consciousness
Consciousness is something we've all experienced, varying in degree among individuals. It’s more than intellect; it’s a state of being?"knowing you breathe, feel, exist. Can we cultivate this further? I believe so. Consciousness can be expanded into what I call "super-consciousness," which holds the potential to transform our lives profoundly.
The Power of Intuition
Intuition, often dismissed as a mere hunch, is actually an extension of consciousness. It’s a natural ability that, when developed, offers reliable insight. But why isn't everyone brimming with intuitive power? The culprit is mental noise.
The Battle with Mental Noise
Our primary existence is consciousness, a pure pinpoint surrounded by reality. Yet, the ego?"a false sense of self?"creates noise that clouds this connection, preventing us from experiencing true bliss. The solution lies in quieting this noise.
The Path of Yoga
Yoga, meaning "union," offers a path to connect with our true self, referred to as "the Self." It’s not just about stretching but involves a multifaceted approach outlined by the yogi Patanjali:
1. Yama: Moral principles guiding behavior
2. Niyama: Daily practices such as study and helping others
3. Asanas: Physical postures popular in the West
4. Pranayama: Breathing techniques
5. Pratyahara: Withdrawal from sensory distractions
6. Dharana: Concentration exercises
7. Dhyana: Spiritual contemplation
8. Samadhi: Complete spiritual absorption
