After a long journey it soothes your tired legs.You can try this at any time of the day even as you are re
The question also arises, what does this Body Mind really learn? Well, whatever it learns, is only ofvalue in one particular lifetime. For the next time around, all situations and or conditions are entirely
different again. All of a sudden we live in a different era and people do not even speak the same language. We are supposed to learn Chinese or Russian now. And then, whatever is learned with great effort, is lost again when our body dies.Well now, somehow there has to be a better way of gett

A person who is reasonably relaxed and sitting inhales and exhales approximately half a liter of air (this is called tidal volume in physiology) at a time. Now if that same person expanded his chest and abdomen to the maximum that is possible and thereby drew more air into the lungs, it would be possible for him to draw in approximately an extra two liters. This is over and above the normal half liter that can be inhaled. This extra volume of air that can be inhaled is known as the inspiratory r
There are many different paths of Yoga. The various paths of yoga lead to the same point or source. All the paths of Yoga incorporate the same aim: Physical Health, Mental Peace and Higher Awareness.
The many variations of Yoga can broadly classified into five basic paths:
1-Hatha Yoga=The path of Balancing the Mental, Physical and Subtle (Pranic or bioplasmic) forces of the body. 2-Raja Yoga = the path of Introspection.
3-Bhakti Yoga= the path of Devotion.
4-Karma Yoga= the path of Activity.

So forget the whole world while you are eating. Eating, just eat; walking, just walk; listening, just listen; talking, just talk and remain totally in it, alert, aware of each gesture, each nuance. And slowly you will get the knack of it, the hang of it ...
... The process can be reduced into a simple formula: whatsoever you do, do it but remain alert.
Lack of sincerity. and respectful, then the hearts of others will open to us. A positive highway of trust is built and communication flows positively.
* Creating negative perceptions (understandings) and emotions about others i.e. how we visualize or label them. Such emotions, no matter how well hidden, are finally always communicated to others on a subtle (non-physical), non-verbal level, and create an atmosphere of tension and unease.
* Not letting go of negative perceptions (understandings) and
Brahman, the Absolute formless reality embedded in Maya, shows Himself to us as Isvara, our personal God. However, the existence of Ishvara is not fixed to any specific God or religion, but to divinity as revered to in many cultures. Therefore, Ishwar appears in many names and forms, and we humans are free to connect with Him in our own unique way as long as our approach is rooted in our heart. Honesty and love are the most important ingredients in our spiritual enfoldment.

We have greatly increased the content of ocoy.org in the past 9 months, adding a How to Meditate section, as well as a large amount of Free PDFs on various aspects of spiritual life in our e-Library.
We would have posted more frequently, but I lost the link to Yoga Vidya!

Die Bach wird das Meer.
Hier flüss‘ ich noch in GOtt als eine Bach der Zeit:
Dort bin ich selbst das Meer der ewgen Seeligkeit.
Here still I flow in God as a River in Time:
There I am myself the Ocean of eternal Bliss.

"Dear children! Also today I call you to prayer. May your prayer be as strong as a living stone, until with your lives you become witnesses. Witness the beauty of your faith. I am with you and intercede before my Son for each of you. Thank you for having responded to my call."
We are directly connected to the Earth and exist as part of the Earth. Like a baby that is in their mother’s womb, the body of the mother is actually the OUTER body of the baby. So anything that happens to the mother forms an energetic imprint and affects the child. For example, if the mother smokes or drinks alcohol during the pregnancy, this goes directly to the child and forms imprints, which may manifest as physical birth deformities or genetic problems which eventually manifest into physica
sex is very lowest point..when this energy goes up word its become God ,,,RAM IF IT IS GOES DOWN WORD IT BECOME UR ULTIMATE WORLD.....UR PHYSICALWORLD..
The simple truth is that sex is the starting point of love. Sex is the beginning of the journey to love. The origin, the Gangotri of the Ganges of Love, is sex, passion -- and everybody behaves like its enemy. Every culture, every religion, every guru, every seer has attacked this Gangotri, this source, and the river has remained bottled up. Th
No devotee of any religion should be satisfied with untested beliefs and dogmas, but should engage himself in practical efforts to attain God –realization. Union with spirit is possible only when the devotee, casting aside the superficial method of ceremonial worship or of the ineffective’ going into the silence’’ begins to practice a scientific technique of God –realization.
One cannot reach this goal just by mental meditation. Only deep concentration that disconnects the mind from breath, life
The first thing a spiritual aspirant has to acquire is mastery over the mind. Like a blind man - look at the objects. Like a deaf man - hear sounds. Do not allow the sense experiences to penetrate within. The mind gets fattened on account of its being fed by sense objects. Restrain the senses by the process of pratyahara (abstraction).
Why should you struggle to curb the mind? Its power is far greater than any other power, but it will become your slave if you surrender to the Lord and allow his
Remember, only that which you can take with you when you leave the body is important. That means, except meditation, nothing is important. Except awareness, nothing is important, because only awareness cannot be taken away by death. Everything else will be snatched away, because everything else comes from without.
Only awareness wells up within. That cannot be taken away. And the shadows of awareness - compassion, love - they cannot be taken away. They are intrinsic parts of awareness. You will b
The process by which we create our own destiny is quite easy to see in theory; however it requires some checking to see how it matches the reality of our practical lives. Here is the process in brief:
• As our thoughts, so will be our feelings.
• As our feelings, so will be our attitudes.
• As our attitudes, so will be our actions.
• As our actions, so will be our habits.
• As our habits, so will be our personality.
As our personality in all our relationships on our journey through life, so w
Inner peace is inner power. But before you start walking the path of relaxation and meditation to create a life, which is free from anger, and based on peaceful living, it is important to clear some misunderstandings we hold in our mind about mental peace.
1. Peace means nothing is happening; it’s a state of inaction.
By practicing meditation for a few minutes everyday, very soon you can experience a stage in which you are physically active yet mentally peaceful, when the mind is active but nothi
