What is yoga?

Although, yoga has a Hindu influence it is actually the union of the higher and lower self, which is taught in most religions. Hinduism is the oldest religion on Earth and created the trinity now used in Christianity and other faiths. In Hinduism we have Braham, Shiva and Vishnu three qualities of God. In Christianity we have the Father, Son and Holy Ghost the same three aspects of God.

When we hear the word yoga, in the west, we most often think of a physical practice of postures and breathing. However, there is another form of yoga and it is called off the mat yoga, Raja, Karma and Bhakti yoga.  This is the foundation of yoga. The original form of yoga was created by Lord Muruga (Sanatkumara) and presumably given to the  Patanjali. This great philosopher and physician created what we now call the Yoga Sutras.

In the guided meditation, Purify The Body Temple, Paula, offers us the opportunity to heal our personal limitation and transform. Using the chakras (energy centers of the body), as emotional locators, to guide and address our imbalances and we gain greater insight to our limitation and easily change it. 

When this is done, the mind calms any mental chatter, and we stay more calm and focused on our Divine Self.  The method used in Purify, is yoga.  When we free ‘stuck’ emotional energy the body/mind expands and it is easier for us to be in life and be full of joy and inner love.
