Explain each of the eight limbs of Yoga (Ashtanga)
1. YAMA - Social Ethics
Consists of ahimsa (non-violence), satya (non-deception), asteya (non-stealing), brahmacharya (sensuel moderation) and aparigraha (non-greed)
2. NIYAMA - Personal Practices
Consists of saucha (purification), santosha (contentment), tapas (discipline), svadhyaya (self examination), ishvarapranidhana (spiritual attunement)
3. ASANA - Physical Postures
- asana = comfortable seat / being present in one's body
4. PRANAYAMA - Increasing and mastering life force through breath
- Prana = life energy, a natural healing force that carries out all the life-giving involuntary functions of the body
- Mimics the mind and emotions
5. PRATYAHARA - Internalizing sensual perception
- In this state, the senses are not distracted by external stimulation, but follow the chosen direction of the mind
- Occurs simultaniously with Dharana
- Result of first four limbs; condition necessary for the last three limbs
- Engaging in conscious, slow movements and deep relaxation focuses mind and immerses sense in internal experience
6. DHARANA - Concentration
- Effort
- Dharana occurs when the mind becomes focused on a particular point (for example strongest sensation)
- You learn how to cross the mental and emotional boundaries while respecting the real physical limit of your body
7. DHYANA - Meditation and absorption
- No effort
- Dhyana is the uninterrupted flow of knowledge on this particular point
- The mind becomes increasingly involved in bodily sensations, and ascends to a higher state where it sees what it has not previously seen
- Deepening feeling of peace
8. SAMADHI - Union
- Absorption / Pure Concsiousness
- Ego disappears
- When the focal point alone shines in a mind emptied of its own form
- When you become the object of your meditation
- There is no separation between yourself and everything in the universe
