Geeta talked about darsana-(direct perception) and using the image of Patanjali to make the Invocation more meaningful. She taught a pranayama discourse giving us the broad picture of practice. The idea is to align and open up space within the body and mind to tap into Universal Energy. We do need to be very cautious of this practice so we do not loose our minds or hurt our nervous systems. Remembering not to rush is important and to know what the effects of each pranayama is whether they warm, cool, induce sleep, awaken, etc.
Geeta was saying that when we start comparing various forms of Yoga or comparing ourselves to others, that is not a Yogic mind. There is a calling that we need to do to bring ourselves back to the Yogic state even when we are not practicing physically. Pranayama teaches us to tap into the Universal Energy that yokes us all together no matter what the physical or mental circumstances may be.
People from 57 countries came to Geeta's Intensive totalling around 1500 people. Representatives from various countries came up on stage to discuss the Universality of Yoga. The Art and Science of Yoga brings us together to share the challenges and peace that life entails.
