Added 2023-11-29 17:02:36 +0000 UTCBTS creating with @audriasana Asana Stay tuned for all new workouts at https://vimeo.com/audriasana/vod_pages Once we understand that meditation, NSDR: non-sleep-deep-rest (deliberately lying still & relaxing the body while remaining awake) & breathwork are perceptual exercises, their science supported effects (reduced stress, sleep loss offset, improved concentration etc.) make perfect sense. It’s not mystical. The insights into our own states of consciousness that arrive with repeated use of these practices and their contrast with our typical waking states represent the next level of benefits but again, there is no reason to think that mystical aspects are involved. The asanas themselves are not mystical but they *can* lead to mystical experiences, i.e. kundalini awakening, chakra activation, etc. The yogis have known about these things for thousands of years it’s about going within
