Explore how avatars, yogis and saints show us the way to go farther in yoga. Yoga practiced with assimilation opens us to new realities. Yogis have blissful contacts and immersion in Spirit called samadhi. Experience samadhis and the ecstasy they can bring to your life.
Spiritual growth is mainly about assimilating. It’s not just what you learn, but what you assimilate from yoga that counts. Learn and develop assimilation to live in the joy that comes from awareness of Spirit.
Deep experience of pure being often leads to additional states of higher consciousness. We can be transformed through spiritual experiences and live as instruments of Spirit, expressing truth, beauty and goodness. Learn how abiding in being leads to nitya lila, the divine play.
Awakening is quite similar in the main religions and traditions. There’s an ascent of consciousness, transformation in Spirit, and then a wonderful descent of higher consciousness. The writings of Jewish mystics can be awakeners to us, helping our minds and egos to enter into higher levels of awareness.
Spiritual awakening and enlightenment can be found on every spiritual path. Enjoy reflecting on Christian saints who have experienced awakening through the same process which yogis enjoy. Their beautiful words can open you to the joy of Spirit.
