Yoga Therapy: Awaken and Rise — Part 2

Stop suffering and awaken to Spirit

The great yogi Patanjali identified the five kleshas (afflictions) as the main cause of all suffering. Explore metaphysical ideas, affirmations and yoga practices which can help you overcome the tension and turbulence caused by the kleshas. Experience the peace and love of Spirit.

First Steps, Afflictions / Kleshas
  • Patanjali identified the five main kleshas (afflictions): spiritual ignorance, ego, immoderate liking, immoderate disliking and possessiveness
  • Avidya, the tendency to remain spiritually ignorant, can be relieved by spiritual experience
  • Qualities of soul and Spirit begin to express through us as we progress in yoga
  • Metaphysical ideas and affirmations can help awaken us to Spirit
  • Mary Baker Eddy (Christian Science):  Divine love always has met and always will meet every human need.
  • Mary Baker Eddy:  Spirit is the life substance and continuity of all things.

Yoga Therapy is Clearing and Freeing

The kleshas (afflictions) create tensions within us. We can release these tensions and thus stop suffering. Let yoga reveal what and why you’re suffering. Allow yoga to relieve the tension and ignorance. Deep yoga therapy is clearing and freeing. Allow yoga to help you.
