In the skillful position of the body consists of vital quality of meditation. Taking a semicircular meditation pose, yogi in our tradition:
1. Sits on a soft seat, legs in the lotus position or, if he can't do it, then in Sukhasan
2. Hands in the contemplation position: Belly and about five centimeters below the navel, the back of the right palm is placed on the open palm of the left hand, two thumbs are raised up, touching each other
3. Back straightened, spine vertical so that gives rigidity to the whole body
4. Hands in the elbows are straightened to the bottom to the shoulders, do not bend
5. The chin slightly pressed down so that the neck is slightly tilted
6. The tip of the language is touched to the upper heaven, while the teeth barely come into contact, the lips are slightly closed
7. Eyes calmly look into the space slightly further than the tip of the nose, the eyeballs are fixed
Others teach that lips and teeth should be in a more natural position, but for beginners a better mentioned posture.
The eighth aspect is breathing in meditation. Meditating, inhale and exhale gently, without effort, not even feeling it. Do not puff, do not breathe hard or with voltage.
"The practice of yoga should keep your heart in the curled state, sitting right in Asan, bent the legs, holding the body straightened and thighs ahead of themselves completely flat (horizontal), without touching the genitals and slightly raising his head, so that it is facing straight forward.
He should not touch the teeth of the teeth. Without paying attention to anything around, it should be focused on the "tip of the nose" (it should be found personally from the guru that the "tip of the nose" means and where it is located).
At this time, Yogina, which strengthened in a clean entity, conquering tamasic qualities with rajacical and rajasic sattvical, should be achieved by a still condition of respiration or calmed breathing. Isolating your mind and prana from the object of concentration by balanced condition (calmed breathing), he should be carried out by Prathara, Self-Goot.
He should focus only on Atma (Atman), "I", watching my "I", curling his kama (attachment, attention to external) and croutrid (anger), like a turtle that pulls out its senses. Cleaning himself internally and externally from the throat before Pup, he should practice Prataharu, self-smuggling, filling the body.
So, curled, yogin becomes free from all unclean. The endless world arises in it. It achieves the ability to see the qualities of nature and the highest "I".
Avadhuta Dattatrey, "Yoga Rahasya" (29-36)
"Keep your hands smooth, lowered down,
Tongue concerns the sky
Teeth and lips in a relaxed position,
The eyes are directed into space next to the nose. "
Vajramala
"The spine must be direct,
As beads strung on the reed.
The neck must be slightly tilted.
The body must be straightened vertically,
Like wild lily.
Hands stretched and parallel,
As if forming a square knot.
Palm in meditative pose
Must put into place below the navel.
Legs should be crossed
Like lines on a chessboard. "
Mahasiddha Nardiev
As for the benefit of these provisions of the body: Apana-Wai (empty energy) is monitored by the pose with crossed legs; Samana-Wai (thermal energy) - pressure on the navel; Vyana-Wai (propagating energy) - straightening the spine and the vertical position of the body; Prana-Wai (vital energy) - straightening shoulders, palms and elbows; Udna-Wai (ascending energy) - a small tilt of the neck and tongue with the tongue.
If the yogi can control these fundamental energy in the body, it will be able to obtain both control over all secondary energies. They are especially good can be controlled by a fixed closer look. Thanks to these provisions, all channels, energy and bindu (body substances) can be revived and stabilized. As a result of all this body elements reached harmony, the complex will be majestic, and good, calm immersion will arise naturally, since the meditative pose soothes disorderly thoughts. The mind will overcome stupidity or passion. With clarity, awareness will appear, lightness and power will appear in the body.
If you sit incorrectly, the result will be the opposite. If the body bends right, the mind will attract sensory objects, despite the initial calm. If the body leans to the left, the mind takes off messy thinking, even if he was originally calmed down. If the body is bent forward, the mind is excited, even if it was clear. If the body is deflected back, the mind masters strong scattering, even if it was clear and relaxed first. If the focus of the eyes is shifted, visual images appear, causing the jumping thoughts. These instructions came from Siddkhov yoga.
