Yoga complex: Levels of consciousness E-mail
Sunday, 23 December 2007

This ritual- complex of asanas includes stages of development of the Universe, beginning from the Non-existence, continues with Existence and ends again with the Non-existence. Each asana (pose) personifies one level of development of the Universe, together with the level of consciousness in this form of existence. Doing this ritual, connect meditatively to each image and feel it completely, as if attempting to embody in it. Make all poses smoothly, attempting to relax as much as possible. Merge with the sensations of your body. Change from one level to another; imagine how they change, how each level turns into higher consciousness.  

1. Non-existence

Lay to the back. Relax your body; envelop it with your inner vision. Hold your breath on expirations. Imagine that you are Nonexistence. Entire Universe has not borne yet; it is compressed into small point, from where worlds, all forms of existence will appear. You manifest everything unexpressed, everything that has not appeared yet. Merge with this state.  

2. Plasma

Put your hands straight over your head, parallel to each other. Bend your feet from knees and place them so, that your soles are on the floor. Bend from the spine as much as possible, holding balance with your feet, forearms and the back of your head. Hold your breath on inhalations. Feel the breast part of your spine. Imagine that from a small point starts explosion of the Universe: plasma begins to fly to different directions with incredible speed, filling the infinite space, forming worlds and galaxies. Stars, cosmic bodies are formed, life is born. Feel that you are fluid hot plasma; listen the rhythm of the Universe.  

3. Mineral

Sit on your knees, cross your arms on the breast, hands on your shoulders. Bend to the front and with your head touch the floor. Hold your breath on inhalations.  

Imagine that the liquid avalanche-type substance begins to thicken, forming planets, their satellites, comets and many other cosmic bodies. Our Earth is being formed. It is still lifeless. Its surface is covered with volcanoes and craters. Its reservoirs contain many acids; in the air there are gases. Earth is in its wild protoplasmic form, the process of crust shaping still continues on it very intensively. Meditatively tune to this level of consciousness of the evolution of the Universe and imagine that you are stone, mineral. Try to merge with this level.

4. Plant  

On our plane­t begins gradually the process of development of plants` kingdom - world of Flora. Appear first primitive algae, after that more and more advanced forms of plants. World is developing, it becomes more perfect; complex forms appear.

Imagine yourself as one of the representatives of this world. Lay on your left side, lean to your left hand, palm on the floor, and bend to the right. Place your right hand on your right knee; bend your head to the right. Hold your breath on inhalations and expirations. Feel stretching in the left side of your body. Enter the image of a defenseless plant. Merge with this image. Repeat this pose to other side. Imagine that you are enormous giant, enormous tree. Experience this image meditatively.

5. Animal  

Sit on your knees, put your hands to the floor (fingers look at each other), hold your legs and spine on one line, holding the balance with your hands. Hold your head on the same level with the spine. Respiration is deep. Imagine that besides plants animals start to appear on Earth: first primitive, then more and more advanced forms. Imagine all forms, types of animals. Imagine that you are one of them. (You can choose the image of your astrological animal or totem). Merge with the image of an animal, look the world with its eyes.

6. Human being

Sit on the floor with straight legs. Put your right leg over the left and place the right foot on the floor. Put your left hand through the bend of the right knee, bring your right hand to the back and unite it with the left hand. Hold your spine straight, turn your shoulders and head to the right. Imagine yourself in the image of the representative of the strong half of the humanity – a man. Experience such qualities as power, resoluteness, mind, composure. Do the same pose to the other side. It symbolizes woman. Imagine yourself in this image and experience such qualities as softness, gentleness, tenderness, beauty and wisdom. Tune with these images as much as possible.
