GLENN CERESOLI ONLINE WORKSHOPS
THE THREE DIMENSIONS OF YOGA

Dear All,

It is more and more apparent that Covid-19 will continue to change and influence our world and lives for some time to come. More than ever we need the will, the skill and most importantly, the perception that practicing yoga can empower us with. An alert sharpness and yet simultaneous calm of the mind which stabilises the emotions and sensitises our perception to everything around us - this can be the gift that yoga gives.

We have to be ready to adapt to the continually shifting ground beneath our feet without losing ourselves in survival instinct or fuelling our addictions to compensate for losses or disappointments.

The same techniques and awareness we use to distance ourselves from the intensity and pain we often confront during asana practice can also be applied in life’s current situation. Abdomen, throat, face soft. Smooth, even breath.

The intention of yoga is to bring our awareness to the fact that we are multi-dimensional, not one-dimensional beings. The Earth is not flat, it is spherical - though we may not experience its curvature in our day to day lives. Similarly, we are not flat - though we spend much of our time living merely by the instincts of survival and sense gratification.

We have bodies of bones, muscles and organs, etc, but we also have an energetic system that animates and vitalises that body. To control both of these, we are also endowed with a mind, with all of its unknown, fascinating aspects. Each one of these layers is more subtle than the previous one before it and the harmony of all three is required in order to connect to that which we really are; our divinity.

Yoga can teach us this requisite harmony of body, energy and mind so that we can experience life in its multi-dimensional reality.

You are most welcome to join this course of 4 Sundays or singular workshops to explore and gain some insight into these first 3 dimensions of our being through the practice of asana and pranayama.

Namaste
Glenn

Happy Ganesh chaturthi

Gam stands for jnana, eternal knowledge.

Nam means mukti pradata or nirvana pradata meaning one who grants liberation.

Isha means the Divine Father who rules.

Thus Lord Ganesha is Nirakara Para Brahma Svarupa, the embodiment of the formless Supreme Consciousness, who grants jnana and nirvana.

The moment you chant the mantra, “Gam,” all the poisonous and negative thoughts in your mind will be burnt into ashes. The moment the sound “Gam” reverberates in your body, all diseases will disappear, much in the same way as people shout “Hara Hara! Hara Hara!” to cleanse their sins. When you repeatedly chant the “Gam” bija mantra, seed syllable, all the devious plans of your enemies will cease to work against you. The “Gam” bija mantra blockades all such harmful plans. In ancient times, when sage Kashyapa[14] asked sage Marichi[15] about the power of the Ganesha Mantra, sage Marichi revealed many secrets about this powerful mantra. ... See MoreSee Less
