Yoga Meditation says "Wake Up" A joyful practise

Wake Up

This is very interesting.

There are 2 ways to interpret this. If you were someone motivated by material goals, to achieve, to work hard for a new car, a holiday, a house, or to become a millionaire by the time you are 30 years old, you could take this to mean "Get up" don't just lie around in bed ..! OR maybe you might not sleep much at all. Many are so driven, so motivated that they sleep very little. Always thinking about their goals and how to achieve them.

In the same way a transcendentalist also has goals. Very different goals, not of this world ... but of another world. Their eyes are fixed on the spiritual world, and spiritual eternal goals. This is the second interpretation of this saying.

Yoga teachings refer to the living beings in this world as being 'asleep.' Asleep to our real life, a life which has nothing to do with this material world BUT a world that extends far beyond the reach of matter. So to "wake up" would mean to wake up to this beautiful transcendental knowledge and our true identity. To wake up and really start living.

We the living beings are eternal, full of bliss, full of knowledge.

Yoga - Brief History from Yoga Meditation 4221 Holistic Yoga

Yoga Brief History

When you practice yoga, it is, of course, not necessary to have a full understanding of yoga history in order to fully benefit from your practice. A brief understanding of the history behind yoga, however, may increase your desire to take up the spiritual side of yoga practice and inspire you to find out more about the tradition behind the discipline.

Yoga was first passed from generation to generation by word of mouth. The first writings about yoga were written in Sanskrit in early religious manuscripts in India called the Vedas. The word ‘yoga’ has many meanings. The root of the word is ‘yug’ which means ‘to hitch up’, referring to fastening horse bridles to a carriage. But yoga also means ‘to actively put to use’ or ‘yoke’ or ‘join’. Yoga means a method of joining, a vehicle or means of joining or extablishing union with God. Men who practice yoga are even today called yogi or yogin and women who practice yoga are called yogini.

Yoga is not just about stretching and breathing and holding poses. Yoga is a philosophy on how to live life and deal with the physical as well as the spiritual challenges that human beings face daily.

Hatha yoga, or the yoga that you do when you take a yoga class or perform yogic poses, was begun as a physical form of meditation. The physical act of yoga calms your body and allows your mind to become calm. It also gives you the physical strength to sustain long periods of meditation which is why the saints and sages practised physical yoga thousands of years ago in preparation for deep meditation and self-realisation.

When you perform the physical practice of yoga, you are only engaging in part of the discipline as it was originally practiced for thousands of years. Yoga is an incredible form of exercise and is calming for the body and mind, but it can also be used as a spiritual practice and a way to calm the emotions and will.

Here are a few types of yoga being practiced today. Bhakti yoga, Mantra yoga, Mantra Meditation And Yoga, Hatha yoga.
