Science of breath by Yogi Ramacharaka

[Adaryn]

I have practiced Pranayama in my years of Yoga along with my meditation and I can honestly say that whilst my practice has been a large part of my spiritual journey it was never enough in its self. It may only be a personal feeling of mine but it was always clear to me that some part of the yogic practice was missing.

Maybe this:

The way of "wisdom," as Carla refers to it, or otherwise known as the "way of the yogi," is the way of knowledge, the way of the mind. This way consists in developing the mind, but may result, as Carla also notes quite accurately, in leaving the body and the emotions undeveloped. She says: "In a wisdom structure, you are going for knowledge, peace, detachment, aiming towards a feeling of emptiness and nothing. It is very peaceful and calm." [ie: it puts people to sleep, as Laura says above]. But, without development of the physical and emotional bodies [which EE contributes to], the individual may be unable to make use of his attainments without going back to work on the body and the emotions. Such a person "knows everything," but can DO nothing. He/she then has to go back and work on obtaining results by means of another series of prolonged efforts of application of what he knows. The main difference between the path of knowledge and the ways of the fakir and monk is that the yogi eventually has the advantage of understanding his position, of knowing what he lacks, what he must do, and in what direction he must go. But again, very few fully accomplish this because they die before achieving it.

ok. i have read this session : Session 20 June 2009
some things are clearer.i wont post any "breathing techniques" anymore. you see, i am reading the transcripts from the begining and i am still on 11.02. 1995 (dd,mm,year).

Just a quick note- Have you also read the Wave series? Because we suggest people read the Wave series before delving into reading the transcripts by them selves, since the Wave provides a lot of background info and context. As you read on, you will see that context is very important in Laura's research.

Hi capt.picard, and welcome to the forum!

I hope you don't feel discouraged and "hammered down" from the useful replies you've received. You've obviously put a lot of time and work in writing your post, and I salute you for doing that. We need hard working people here. It's difficult being a new member and feeling this great eager to help, but not knowing quite where to put and direct this helping energy. I know from experience that this is quite a tricky balance to handle ;)

Interacting with other forum members and reading as much as one can helps one to know what subjects are already discussed and "dealt with". You of course may have done a lot of reading, but on the subject of yoga you maybe have missed some details (like many members are long time yoga practitioners/teachers etc.). So anyway, when you know better the "pulse" of the forum you can more easily direct this "helping energy" in places where it's mostly needed. And, as others have pointed out, the best way to help - at least for starters - is to help one self.

I wish you well capt.picard and interesting reading moments!

if the method is THAT ancient there isnt a way to check it out. i trust the cassiopeaenas.
no more "breathing techniques" from me
going to do some EE
bye

capt. picard,

It is suggested that you not read the transcripts on their own. But to read them in the context of what was happening at the time of the session, which is much more interesting in and of itself. That's why it is suggested to read Laura's books first so you have some idea of the interaction going on during the sessions. Reading The Wave Series completely through and then reading Adventures with Cassiopaea is a good way to understand the dynamics that are going on during the session along with just a whole lot of knowledge there.

If you have already read these, it might be a good idea to reread them as you may have read them too fast to pick up the knowledge that would help you here. This happens to everyone, actually. We are so amazed at what we are finding that it is hard to not slow down and enjoy the ride. ;)

sure i was reading a bit too fast and it also sure that i am eventualy read it again after i finish with the transcripts. the thing is that i dont remember anything of metioning the EE program in the wave series.but that is maybe not the most important thing here. i am just going to do the EE program and read stuff and report of my progress.
thank you all for understanding and greets to you guys :)

Actually, the EE program was just "rediscovered" recently so that is probably why it was not mentioned in the Wave series.
