• 0:01
  One of the challenges, all human individuals, including spiritual
• 0:05
  secrets, and yoga practitioners have to face is the issue of
• 0:10
  illness illness was described as one of the four noble truths by
• 0:15
  the Buddha, when he described The Human Condition, and why he
• 0:20
  recommended that people take up the spiritual life to escape the
• 0:24
  suffering of human existence. Spiritual Paths of tried
• 0:30
  numerous different ways to deal with illness when it comes.
• 0:34
  Some of them simply accepted as a fact of human life and try not
• 0:38
  to let. It interfere with their
• 0:40
  spiritual effort. Others, try to use various forms
• 0:44
  of Faith healing or Mind Over Matter practices to overcome or
• 0:49
  prevent illness. Some paths, develop extensive
• 0:53
  methodologies, to create new power, and endurance in the
• 0:57
  body, and some use mantras to cure diseases.
• 1:02
  SRI aurobindo reported once that his brother was violently
• 1:06
  feverish and a Wandering Yogi came by said mantras over a
• 1:10
  glass of water and after particular of the water his
• 1:15
  brother was cured some years ago, a researcher at a hospital
• 1:20
  pondicherry was doing research on using vibrations to both
• 1:25
  diagnose and cure diseases. He was infecting mice with
• 1:30
  cancer cells and he monitored the tumor growth, and took
• 1:35
  regular photographs, including curly and images.
• 1:38
  To monitor the progress of the disease.
• 1:42
  He also measured the vibrational pattern of both sick and healthy
• 1:46
  mice at a certain point in time. He began to play back the
• 1:50
  vibrational pattern of the healthy mice to the sick, mice
• 1:55
  And was able to document the reduction of the tumors.
• 1:59
  Clearly new vibrational patterns as they develop have the
• 2:03
  opportunity to enhance the strength and resistance of the
• 2:08
  body to disease and even cure disease once it has gained a
• 2:13
  foothold, Entry or Windows integral yoga.
• 2:17
  The body is the physical foundation for the
• 2:19
  transformation of life on Earth through the next evolutionary
• 2:23
  manifestation. As this occurs changes can and
• 2:28
  must occur in the physical being as also in the vital and mental
• 2:33
  levels to embody the new force and give it its complete scope
• 2:38
  in the interim, while The Seekers are still immersed.
• 2:42
  In the current normal human consciousness, the body should
• 2:46
  be kept fit and strong as possible.
• 2:48
  Without either giving too much influence to its demands or
• 2:54
  getting caught up in. Focusing entirely on the illness
• 2:57
  of the body. When it comes SRI aurobindo
• 3:01
  notes, quote, your theory of illness is rather a perilous
• 3:06
  Creed for illness as a thing to be eliminated, not accepted or
• 3:10
  enjoyed. There is something in the being
• 3:14
  that enjoys owners. It is possible even to turn the
• 3:17
  Pains of illness like any other pain into a form of pleasure,
• 3:23
  for pain and pleasure, both of them.
• 3:25
  Degradations of the original Ananda and can be reduced into
• 3:30
  the terms of each other or else sublimated into their original
• 3:34
  principle of on. Unda, it is true.
• 3:37
  Also that one must be able to Bear illness with calm
• 3:42
  Equanimity and Durance, even recognition of it.
• 3:46
  Since it is come as something that has to be passed through in
• 3:50
  the course of experience, but to accept and enjoy it me, Is to
• 3:55
  help it to last. And that will not do for
• 3:59
  illness, is a deformation of the physical nature, just as lust
• 4:05
  anger jealousy Etc. Are deaf formations of the vital
• 4:09
  nature, and error and Prejudice, and Indulgence of falsehood are
• 4:15
  deaf formations of the mental nature.
• 4:19
  All these things have to be eliminated, and rejection is the
• 4:22
  first condition of their disappearance.
• 4:25
  While acceptance has a contrary effect all together in quote,
