Orthodox Indian "classical yoga" includes six systems: wisdom yoga, professional yoga, hatha yoga, Raja yoga and Kundalini yoga. The theories of different yoga factions vary greatly. Wisdom yoga advocates the cultivation of knowledge concepts; Yoga advocates inner practice and guides more perfect behavior; Belief in yoga is the synthesis and derivation of the former; Hatha yoga includes mental system and physical system; Raja yoga is inclined to mind and pranayama; Kundalini yoga. Yoga with different system theories is a tool for practitioners to reach the spiritual world. Wisdom yoga advocates the cultivation of knowledge concepts, liberating from ignorance and reaching sacred knowledge in order to look forward to being one with Brahma. Wisdom yoga believes that knowledge can be divided into lower and higher levels. The so-called knowledge of ordinary people is limited to the external manifestations of life and matter. This kind of low-level knowledge can be obtained directly or indirectly. The knowledge sought by wisdom yoga requires yogis to turn inward in an instant and experience and understand Brahma, the god of creation, through the essence of all external things. By reading the ancient classics that are regarded as apocalypse, we can understand the real hidden meaning in the book and get the sacred truth. Yoga practitioners rely on yoga practice to enhance their vitality, open the Brahma chakra above their heads, let Brahma enter the body and gain supreme wisdom. Yoga means behavior. Yoga believes that behavior is the first expression of life, such as food, clothing, housing and transportation, manners and so on. Yoga advocates paying attention to the inner world and guiding more perfect behavior through inner spiritual activities. Yoga teachers usually take an extremely restrained attitude towards asceticism, and insist on asceticism through doing good deeds, respecting God and self-discipline. They think that people's best friend and worst enemy are themselves, which are determined by their own behavior. Only complete dedication and conversion can make people's spirit, sentiment and behavior reach the ultimate state of unity with Brahma. Hatha Yoga Hatha Yoga is natural and noble.
In the word hatha, ha means the sun, while tha means the moon. He represents the balance between men and women, day and night, yin and yang, cold and heat, rigidity and softness, and any other two complementary opposites. Hatha yoga believes that the human body includes two systems, one is the mental system; One is the body system. People's ordinary ideological activities are mostly disorderly and chaotic, which is a waste of ability, such as fatigue, excitement, sadness and excitement. Only a small part of the human body is used to support life. Under normal circumstances, if this imbalance is not too serious, it can be restored naturally through rest, but if self-discipline and regulation are not active, this imbalance will become more and more serious, leading to mental and physical diseases. Posture method can break the original riots, eliminate the unstable factors of the body and stop the vicious circle of exercise; Through pranayama to clear the stagnation of the nervous system in the body, and through the huge control of the energy in the body and use it. Raja yoga If hatha yoga is the key to yoga, then raja yoga is the only way to the spiritual world. Hatha yoga focuses on posture and gas control, while Raja yoga prefers thinking and pranayama. Lotus is generally used to wait for some postures to meditate, and most strict postures are given up. Raja Yoga actively advocates eight branches of yoga, namely, forbidding, respecting walking, sitting, pranayama, self-awareness, meditation and samadhi. There are many methods of yoga meditation, but most of them use lotus sitting. When practicing meditation, you can feel the movement of the entity through your mind, control the circulation of the qi pulse in your body, and produce different magical powers. A little gaze is a meditation practice that yogis often like. Usually in a quiet place, or at the seaside of mountains and lakes, focus on a fixed entity, such as Krishna or candles, leaves, wild flowers or waterfalls, running water, etc. Let your spirit be completely immersed in infinite silence. Kundalini Yoga is also called raja yoga the Snake. Kundalini proved that there are 72,000 chakras, seven Brahma chakras, a main channel and a dormant snake. By opening the qi pulse, the qi of life can awaken the snake and make it pass through all Brahma chakras and reach the outside. Once the Kundalini snake rushes out of the Brahma chakra above its head, it can obtain the supreme Samadhi. At present, there are quite few people practicing Kundalini yoga, because Kundalini has high requirements for people, and those who have practiced yoga for decades have not gained any magical power or samadhi realm. Kundalini yoga is a difficult method to practice in yoga, and only perseverance can gain strength.
