A balance of actinic and odic forces running through the physical body bursts forth into individuality within the aspirant on the spiritual path. This cherished individuality, the feeling that you are the center of the universe, and your created world revolves around you, does not make one egotistical, but rather forms within the consciousness a deep humility, or a deep feeling of the realities of life, thus laying a solid foundation for meditation. <br><br>Ha\u1e6dha yoga is a science of perfecting the physical body through the use of certain postures, or \u0101sanas. In a deeper sense, it is a system of handling the physical body so that you are able to gain a conscious, actinic control of the odic forces of your subconscious mind. When the body is tuned up to a rhythmic pitch, you can single out the seeds of basic odic desires and destroy them. <br><br>The practice of ha\u1e6dha yoga places the physical body in different \u0101sanas in a regular, routine arrangement, so that the nerve currents in the body area are tuned up to a perfect pitch. No stretching, no straining, no pulling, no stresses. Once you have memorized the correct postures of ha\u1e6dha yoga in their progressive order, you will find that after practicing them for only a few minutes, your mind will be able to concentrate itself without any effort whatsoever. You will be in an automatic state of subconscious concentration because you will have no nerve strain to distract your mind or bottle up the odic force. You will find yourself more alive consciously, and much more alive subconsciously, than you have ever been before. A child can do most of the ha\u1e6dha yoga postures quite naturally. When you can, too, you will have that youthful freedom of mind-flow again. <br><br>Ha\u1e6dha yoga, practiced correctly over a period of time, makes the mind so acute that you become able to \u201csingle out the seed of desire by disregarding all other corresponding erroneous thoughts.\u201d In other words, in the practice of this science alone, the yoga student begins to burn out congested seeds of desire from within without even thinking about them. As you become more and more perfected in ha\u1e6dha yoga, the odic forces, both passive and aggressive, become adjusted, balanced and controlled. <br><br>Through the practice of ha\u1e6dha yoga, the physical body becomes a perfect vehicle for the mind to live in. The tensions which have been built up through the years become fleeting, and the mind becomes actinically alive. This enables the yoga student, as he presents himself to the yoga master for personal training, to single out the seed of desire and, in the light of understanding, destroy it. This retroactively brings forth a great wisdom through the conscious use of the subsuperconscious mind. When this happens, you don\u2019t have to think to know. You know, and thinking is the result. Affectionate detachment from friends and relations is automatically accomplished, and a greater love for them flows in through actinic understanding. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tuning Up With Ha\u1e6dha Yoga When we live in our personality, we are limited, but our individuality reigns supreme.
