Yogic healing is achieved with asana, pranayama, dharana and mantra sadhana. Sadhana is a way, a path and also a methodof transformation. It is a journey from the impure towards the pure.
The impure relates to the world of name, fame and ideas where it is the ego that is interacting with the world. The pure relates to Atman and acceptance of the world without delusions or illusions. Regular sadhana transforms aperson into being more simple and natural, internally.
From this pure mind arise affection, universal love, compassion and devotion. These bring us closer to divinity and promote what we call atma bhav — seeing your own self in others.
At the physical level, we work through asanas and pranayama to purify the body. At the mental level, we connect to our inner Self and begin the journey within.
According to Pantanjali’s Yoga Sutra, asana is the posture in which one experiences joy, happiness and stability — when asanas are done with awareness.
According to one’s need, specific pranayama is done in order to energise or calm the mind. Dharana sharpens the mind and improves your focus. Mantras are sound vibrations; they help you to connect the inner Self to the cosmic energy and help you overcome energy blockages within. The body becomes healthy, the prana balances and at the level of spirit, the process ‘sets you free’ and unravels creativity in life.
I like yoga, but I find the concept "impure" nonsense.
