The Eight Steps of Raja Yoga

by yogatherapy

about

We know there is a succession in raja yoga, the eight phases that are Yama, Niyama, asana, pranayama, pratyahara, Dharana, dhyana paving the way to the last stage, samadhi. Yet, what number of us followed this arrangement with genuineness? What number of us are attempting to fuse the Yamas and Niyama in our lives? Not many - can be tallied by the fingers of one hand. We accept that the Yamas and niyamas are good parts of yoga that don't concern us since we are unique. We start with the act of asana and pranayama in light of the fact that they are useful for the body. The body discharges vitality and turns out to be more adaptable.

Subsequent to rehearsing asanas and pranayama we state, 'OK, presently I will dhyana.'. We went into a thoughtful state to make certain pictures, dreams and thoughts of what ought to be the dhyana or how we can rehearse. We skirt the acts of Pratyahara and Dharana. Just in troublesome occasions when we figured we were unable to contemplate by any means, we depend on the acts of Dharana and pratyahara. At that point we ask somebody, 'Look, I can't focus appropriately. How might I conquer this issue? 'This individual instructs us to rehearse trataka so as to create fixation and afterward let the dhyana practice and we return to dharana to begin rehearsing trataka.

After some time we state to ourselves, 'Well, I rehearsed trataka for a month. I don't have to rehearse more, I will re-visitation of dhyana. 'At the point when we begin thinking, we are confronted again with our negative and positive perspectives, want and abhorrence, quality and shortcoming, which make another development. At the point when we defy our shortcoming, we let ourselves know, 'I don't comprehend why I have had these outcomes in my contemplation. It should feel better, yet every time I feel more discouraged. I don't have a clue why I have not had great encounters in my reflection, others have so great experiences...'.

After, we counsel somebody who says, 'Look, in the event that you are finding these issues in your training you should re-visitation of training pratyahara. Practice antar mouna, antar darshan or hamsa dhyana and see what occurs inside you. When you see better what's going on and you can manage your feelings, sentiments and musings, at that point you can go to the act of dhyana.' And then we return again to pratyahara.
