In
their researches, the Rishis realized (and we can now realize the
same, if we take a chance) that thought is highly elusive (an equal
basis are the other sides as psychological, emotional,
temperamental, etc.). Try to close your eyes and stand still for 10
minutes and see how many things, mostly unsolicited, crop in your
mind.
Since it is so difficult to manage these mechanisms (because evanescent), the Rishis initially thought of using the body as a vehicle to promote the use of mental processes. We are inside our body but it is the mind that dominates all mechanisms: i.e. using the body as the most concrete and helpful instrument available to get up to the internal mechanisms, some of them very subtle. Body and mind influence each other (nowadays the human being is defined as entirely psychosomatic). The Rishis began to "manage" the body in very specific and refined ways for accustoming – at the same time - the mind to to be managed in a more “easy” position. So it came to the fact that the increased management condition brought to the possibility to put all the inside-outside components in a balanced cooperation, from the gross to the subtle ones and producing that the entire system could acquire insurmountable states of equilibrium and harmony. The body, studied and trained in these ways, become healthy and free from unnatural conditions, conflicts and negative emotional states become overcome, the inner wellbeing is ongoing, vital energy circulate better, the conscious state reaches the highest levels, the mind becomes quiet, the spirit enters into states of higher consciousness.
These management methods (RAM, Rishi Ancient Methods for Yoga) over time have been divided into Hatha Yoga and Raja Yoga, so also spreading to other countries , each culture took a small part in local traditions and introduced it giving some other names such as Vipassana , Thai Chi Chuan , Buddhism , Zen, etc. .
Now wee would like to see: What the Hatha Yoga and Raja Yoga are? See you at the next Post!
