Classical Yoga Therapy

Produktbeschreibung

Yoga is an extraordinary and beautiful system of philosophy and practice that leads a person to the highest summit of inner peace. Call it Self- realization, sam¿dhi, or enlightenment, this is the promise of Yoga. On the journey to Self-realization, the practitioner benefits not only from growing inner peace but also physical and emotional well-being. Hence, Yoga is more than a system of philosophical and spiritual practice, it is a form of therapy that can restore health and wholeness to body, mind, and consciousness. Yoga is the psycho-spiritual side of ¿yurveda. ¿yurveda is the healing side of Yoga. Trying to separate these two from each other is an impossible task. ¿yurveda exists within the framework of Yoga. In the classical texts of Yoga, healing is described utilizing the ¿yurvedic language of the three döas. In the classical ¿yurvedic texts healing the mind is described utilizing the yogic language of the mah¿güas. To understand either science in its entirety requires an understanding of both. Yoga and ¿yurveda do not exist independent of each other. They never have. They are entirely intertwined. They are based on the same understanding of the cause of suffering and disease. However, each system brings unique approaches to healing body, mind, and consciousness. Together, they provide the guidance necessary to maximize the potential for healing and bring about sustainable well-being. Both sciences not only treat the symptoms of disease but also their deepest causes. In Classical Yoga Therapy, it is my intention to weave together the knowledge and wisdom of six great Yoga texts: The Yoga S¿tras of Patañjali, Bhagavad G¿ta, Hähayoga Prad¿pik¿, ¿iv¿ Sähit¿, Gherä¿a Sähit¿, and Gorak¿a Sähit¿. In doing so, I hope to provide a more complete and well-rounded view of Yoga principles and practices, especially as they relate to healing. I must also acknowledge that there are many other texts of Yoga that were not used for this text. Hence, this text should not be seen as definitive, nor viewed as a complete text, on the entirety of yogic knowledge. In fact, the knowledge of Yoga is intertwined with knowledge found in other systems of Indian philosophy, particularly Ved¿nta. The major texts of Ved¿nta, such as the Upani¿ads, were not utilized for this writing. The texts that were utilized include the most important texts of both Hatha and R¿jayoga and are supplemented by the Bhagavad G¿ta, a text that integrates the knowledge of Yoga and Ved¿nta.
