From Thinking-Doing to Feeling-Being
To help establish this direction, there are three phases which interplay with each other. They are equally important and are the general formula for developing creativity in any field of endeavour.
-
the learning of techniques such as asanas (yoga postures), pranayama (breath work), Yoga Nidra (sleep based meditation) and other complementary techniques and skills. Also included in this stage are lifestyle skills. This is the thinking/doing phase
-
ongoing practice of specific techniques and skills to develop depth, feel and understanding. This is the doing/feeling phase
-
the release or surrender of intentional control into the “second half of the posture” or into an intuitive flow of energy -“meditation in motion”. This is the feeling/being phase.
Practices can be generally categorized as Gentle, Moderate or Intense. They are all equally as integrative and are suitable for different stages and ages of life. Results are dependent on commitment to practice.
