KARMA YOGA is the path of detached action which makes possible the spontaneous tuning of the aspirant with the infinite divine  energies.  By carrying out his daily activities or social duties without any  attachment or desire for getting hold of the results or the  fruits of the action, the karma yogi is constantly purifies  his mind and accelerates his inner progress.

KARMA YOGA – Yoga of the Detached Action - is one of the main forms of YOGA. The purpose of this spiritual practice is the communion with God, the spiritual  liberation, the final completion. The karma yogi should remember as often as possible of this noble goal of his practice and should realize that actually everything he does - apparently - for others, he does for his own good, for he is the main beneficiary of his actions, which are  correctly integrated in this spiritual practice which is KARMA YOGA.

A research from the US shows that practices such as Yoga and Meditation can alter the way our genes are activated.
The research took place in Benson-Henry Institute for Mind/Body Medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) and the Genomics Center at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC).

The researchers showed that practices of Mind-Body such as various forms of yoga, meditation and prayer induce in the body a state called ‘the relaxation response’. This state is characterized by reduction in oxygen intake, increase in exhalation of nitric oxide, and lower psychological distress. Many scientists believe that the relaxation response is the opposite counterpart of the ‘flight or fight’ stress response, a basic impulse that human beings have in reaction to perceived danger. The ‘flight or fight’ response has already been shown by a number of studies to have a distinct pattern of physiological and gene expression changes – determining some genes with specific attributes to go into action. The researchers raised the hypothesis that in a similar way to the ‘flight or fight’ response, so the relaxation response would determine changes in the activation of some genes.

Lay down on the floor with your head towards the South (!) on a mat or on a blanket in a well ventilated room. Abandon your body on the floor. The hands are slightly away from your body, the palms are facing upwards. The legs are slightly apart from each other. Become aware of your body and of the floor.

Exhale several times, slowly and deeply.

Then focus your attention upon your left leg and relax the left leg from the toes to the pelvic area, on groups of muscles, from down to up. Experience in each of the relaxed area fine vibration, slight sensation of warming up, loss of the body limits.

Comparison between Sacred Esoteric Judaism and Sacred Esoteric Yoga

By Uriel Yariv

This article is based on a lecture that took place in the International Yoga congress 2010, which took place in Bucharest, Romania on 13-17.10.  This lecture won a prize for being one of the best lectures in the Congress, out of over 70 lectures and workshops.

My name is Uriel Yariv, I am form Israel and I have been practicing yoga for the past ten years.

Born to Jewish family and raised in a regular Jewish environment, I grew up in believing that Judaism is nothing more than an external social tradition which has as a goal keeping the nation united in a colorful, folkloric way.

The external form, of so called spiritually, was not at all attractive for me, I was searching for altered states of consciousness and for real esoteric knowledge and experience.  I did not wish to follow some tradition blindly and just to obey what I was told, I wanted to understand and more then this, I wanted to feel spirituality.

There comes a time in life, when, in the midst of the chaos and mess in which you find yourself, you suddenly feel you can find an order and a meaning. You understand, all of a sudden, that whatever is happening to you - be it either good or bad – is happening because you deserve it, and that your destiny is really in your own two hands. This is a phase in which an inner something is telling you that there exists an order in the world, an order which you feel you can almost touch with the tip of your fingers. And then, suddenly, you start feeling at ease within an order which is bigger than you and including you. What a relief!

•    If we look inside and outside of ourselves with attention and lucidity, we discover that in reality there are no urgent matters. This way we can realize that often there are only people in a rush.
•    All that is truly useful and valuable is always at our disposal, and is free of charge. A significant example of this is the Endless Energy of Love.
•    It is infinitely better to always appreciate ourselves with attention and lucidity, at our true worth, instead of despising ourselves.
•    To easily reach a state of contemplation, it is recommended that we try at least once every day to detach ourselves from spontaneous thoughts, and to let them drift past like clouds in the sky. When we enter such a state of contemplation, it is very good to aim to be life and not think of life.
•    Never lose sight of what is always available and extremely valuable. That mysterious something, omniscient, omnipresent and eternal, is God the Father embracing us tirelessly, even when we do not expect it.

Is it true or not that the great thinkers had been talkative? Is the spiritually evolved man recognized according to the multitude of words meant to drown anyone who comes close?
