A noi di Yoga21100 piacciono le mappe: ci piace l'idea di esplorare passo dopo passo un territorio fatto di individui e delle loro storie, un territorio che allarga i suoi confini ad ogni intervista. In questo episodio restiamo con un piede in Italia e con l'altro voliamo a Bucarest, in Romania, per incontrare un'insegnante che grazie all'incontro con una guida speciale ha trasformato un momento di crisi in una svolta. È successo spesso al nostro microfono, sentire racconti in cui lo yoga arriva quando qualcosa nella vita porta a fermarsi e mostra una strada nuova, perché in fondo l'unica vera libertà è la possibilità di scegliere come vivere ogni istante della nostra vita. Livia ha aperto per noi il cassetto dei ricordi e ha condiviso la sua visione dello yoga: la pratica come strumento per scoprirsi, aprirsi e iniziare un percorso di trasformazione e di relazione con se stessi. Praticare è osservare, osservare è conoscere attraverso il corpo, le sensazioni e le emozioni, conoscere è imparare a gestire la propria energia e il proprio potenziale. Dalla confusione e dallo smarrimento nasce il potere di scegliere, dalla vulnerabilità si apre la crepa dalla quale passa la luce. Quella di Livia e' una visione lucida e preziosa delle basi etiche e filosofiche dello yoga. Infatti in questa puntata c'è molto di più! In questa puntata troverete una delle spiegazioni a nostro avviso più attuali e interessanti di bramacharya, di quelle che ancora non ci erano state date, oltre a un ricordo che profuma di chiodi di garofano..e sì, anche un piatto di spaghetti aglio olio e peperoncino..vi abbiamo incuriosit*? #yoga #yogalife #yogalove#yogaitalia #yogapractice#yogaeveryday #yogainspiration#podcast #podcasting #podcaster#podcasts #podcastshow#podcastitalia #podcastitaliani#podcasters #yoga211

" people have made temporary solutions permanent " - some guy on twitter
In the spiritual and new age community the question often arises “how to live a high vibe life?” The answers to this question vary greatly depending on the source and tradition of the one answering, and a lot of the information tends to be contradictory. Over the years the structure of my spiritual path has largely been informed by Ashtanga or Raja Yoga as articulated in the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali.The Yoga Sutras are a classic Hindu text compiled sometime around 500 BCE by the sage Patanjali, who synthesized and organized knowledge about yoga from much older traditions. As I’m sure many of you know yoga is not just the asanas (postures) practiced in Hatha yoga classes. Rather it is a comprehensive spiritual path that impacts ever aspect of your life to facilitate the evolution of your consciousness. In short it is the science of ascension. The Yoga Sutras outline an eight limbed path for spiritual evolution that includes: (1) yamas (external disciplines), (2) niyama (internal disciplines), (3) asana (postures), (4) pranayama (breath control), (5) pratyahara (withdrawal of senses), (6) dharana (concentration), (7) dhyana (meditative absorption), and (8) samadhi (union, integration).By cultivating and practicing the seven limbs of yoga we obtain the eighth limb, samadhi, which is that unitive blissful state of consciousness where we become one with god. We obtain the goal of the spiritual path by observing and cultivating these the various limbs of yoga. Cultivating a high vibe lifestyle is part of the first two limbs of the yogic path which include external and internal discipline or the yamas and niyamas. These are not commandments like the Abrahamic traditions and you aren’t going to hell if you do not strictly observe them. Hell is of your own making and the consequence of your own unskillful actions. The yamas and niyamas are simply a roadmap for living a skillful, ethical and productive life and purifying your state of consciousness. The five yamas or internal disciplines that help you live a high vibe life include:Ahimsa (non-harming)Satya (truthfulness)Asteya (responsibility/non-stealing)Bramacharya (moderation of sense pleasures)Asparigraha (non-hoarding, freedom from grasping, non-attachment)The five niyamas or external disciplines that help you live a high vibe life include:Saucha (cleanliness)Santosha (contentment),Tapas (self-discipline)Svadhyaya (self study/self inquiry)Isvara-pranidhana (surrender/devotion) My experience with the yamas and niyamas has been one of an upward spiral, as I continually work to live an ever more sattvic (spiritual) lifestyle. My path has been one of discipline and flow. Eliminating one habit here or adding another there. I’ve found that as my inner spiritual life deepens I crave more and more external and internal purity.This is a process of gradual realignment of self to higher states of consciousness. At times it may take a lot of discipline and effort to reform a habit or pattern, at others you may simply experience a gentle unfolding and releasing of old ways of being that no longer serve you.It is good to keep the yamas and niyamas at hand and periodically revisit them to see how you are doing. By engaging in self study and self inquiry you can evaluate how closely you are embodying these qualities and where reform may be needed or where success has been achieved.This will be a never ending process of unfolding, purification and elevation of your consciousness. As you raise your vibration you will come to crave high vibration things and find yourself naturally embodying these traits and enjoying the process.
We often cringe when we are asked to control our tendency toward self indulgent behavior because we are told from an early age that life is to be enjoyed. Listen in and get a new perspective on why a little Bramacharya goes a long way.

Why do we reach for one more drink than we really need, one more helping after we are full, another hour of work after we have put in a full day… Why do we excess? On today’s episode of Wonder Your Way to Brilliant I talk about the Yama of Bramacharya - non-excess or walking with God, or right use of energy. Having too much, eating too much, working too much is never helpful for us, yet we can be seduced by them. Why does this happen and how can we turn toward mindful living? How can we step out of the fog of habitual behavior and onto a more intentional path? Some thoughts today’s episode.

We've finally made it to the last of the Yamas in this episode! We spend a few minutes discussing Bramacharya since I was on my own for the last episode, and then we delve into non-posessiveness or non-attachment. Remember, think of all 5 yamas together and practice moderation. It all takes practice!
In this episode I'm talking to myself about Bramacharya, the Yama regarding non-excess. We didn't have a YOGA talks discuss to record because everyone had life going on! That happens! Remember that non-excess doesn't just apply to some of the more obvious things that could be done to access.
Recorded Wednesday February 28, 2018 We finally get into Asteya, non-stealing! Our conversation goes in a lot of directions because this is a really interesting topic. For next week, read Deborah Adele's chapter, in The Yamas & Niyamas, on Bramacharya, non-excess. Non-excess isn't just about things! Have you looked at your calendar lately?!
