YOGA

The word yoga means "connection with God" There are many different aspects .Since this book is addressing the body, I would like to explain a little about Hatha Yoga.
It is a yoga concerned with physical and energetical purification and training. Its goal is to bring the physical body into a perfect state of health so the soul has a fitting vehicle of expression to work through. It embraces many practices, including physical postures and breathing excercises (pranayama) which alos act upon the physical nervious system and etheric body which is considered a corollary aspect of the physical body and brings the vital energies of the physical and etheric bodies under conscious control.

Kundalini Yoga: this is a form that has a lot to offer. My experience of Hatha Yoga has always been more of an external sensibility,i.e., feeling my torso engage in postures that made my muscles engage and compete in order to do the practice.

In kundalini, the emphasis is more on the internal organs. It is like building the fire in the cabin of one's body. I mention this form because it is a valuable foundation for the spaciousness work. I do not experience a sense of spaciousness when I do the work, but in my life after the class I do notice a different sensibility.
