Around the world - Yoga Class of Level 1 Part 2 in Sydney
A guided practice for relaxation and gentle movement through breath and body awareness.
Begin by lying comfortably, focusing awareness on each limb. Inhale to lift a limb, exhale to lower it, releasing all tension. Coordinate breath with slow arm movements overhead and back. Stretch each side of the body individually, then diagonally, and finally the entire body. Practice rolling and spinal twists to release the back. Strengthen the core by lifting the head with hands clasped behind it. Perform knee-to-chest poses to relax the hips. Move into seated postures for spinal extension and flexion. Practice side bends. Flow through a sequence of postures that strengthen the entire body. Conclude by lying back, focusing on the smooth flow of breath from abdomen to throat to achieve deep relaxation.
"Feel a wave-like rhythm of your breathing now, from the abdomen to the chest and from the chest down to the abdomen."
"Concentrate on the flow of the breath up and down the body."

Intellectual knowledge does not make you wise
The power of mantra and the subtle body is revealed through sound and internal energy. Chanting mantra affects body, mind, and soul. The essence is universal despite language. Concentration on the chakras brings strength, knowledge, and balance. The body is a balloon of energy containing thousands of chakras. Every cell and the universe itself is round. This form reflects divine design, as seen in unique fingerprints. Each fingertip contains distinct chakras visible under magnification. Gentle self-touch activates this energy flow powerfully. This personal touch releases tension and channels vitality more effectively than external contact. Energy centers exist throughout the entire body, including palms and soles. Awakening this internal energy is crucial. Formal education often destroys nature, unlike innate spiritual wisdom.
"Look, God has done just one print on the thumb, and no one can make the duplicate."
"This gentle touch is a thousand times more intensive than just like this, because each chakra in the body is where we are concentrating and coming; the energy is flowing there."

Self is happiness
The sense of life is to become happy and free from past suffering and karma. Satsaṅg is the best way to attain this peace. Our inner self, which seeks happiness, is a part of God. We often search for this self externally, but it cannot be found that way. To understand God and oneself, one must attend satsaṅg and study the scriptures. Yoga is the union of the self with the Cosmic Self. All who take physical form, even God, must endure certain sufferings according to cosmic law. We are here due to our karma, while God incarnates by free decision, yet He too must accept difficulties, sometimes due to curses. Even a great devotee like Nārada once cursed Viṣṇu, causing Him to incarnate again. This occurs when one's intellect becomes confused. We must always pray for positive intellect.
"If the self is searching for the self somewhere, we will never find it anywhere."
"The difference between us and God is that we came to the world because of our karma, and He came according to His own decision."
