Ep. 4.40: Yoga Sutras on Breathing Part 4 (2.52)

Yoga Sūtras 2.52

Yoga Sūtras 2.52, tataḥ kṣīyate prakāśa-āvaraṇam ||

Prāṇāyāma reduces that which covers our inner spiritual light ||

Breathing bridges the unconscious to the conscious. How? Physiologically breathing belongs to both the autonomic (unconscious) functions as well as conscious motor actions. The more we master our breathing the less unconscious we become. Our psychological conditioning - unconsciously stored in the body - gradually gets washed clean by mastering our breathing processes.

This discussion goes in-depth into the psychology of being present vs being not present - which simply comes down to whether we give our attention to the process of perception or to the memory-thoughts that arise moment to moment. How does this relate to reducing that which covers our spiritual light? Because it is our conditioning - which is just memories in action - that suppresses our innate wisdom. There's more to the process so check out the discussion ... ! We also detail the various lists that get presented to help us recognize our conditioning: e.g. the six spiritual enemies, the five kleshas, etc.

Live Class meets every Tuesday from 10:45 - 12:00 pm (California Time)
