5. what is Himalayan Tradition?
The Himalayan Tradition of Yoga Meditation combines the wisdom of Patanjali’s
Yogasutras , the philosophy and practices of the Tantras, and the specific oral
instructions and initiatory experiences passed on by a long line of saints and Yoga
masters whose names may or may not be known. The Tradition is not an intellectual
combining of three unrelated elements, but a unified system in which all the parts are
integrally linked.
The chief components of the Himalayan system include purification of thoughts
and emotions, mindfulness, breath awareness, Japa, Shavasana, Dharana, Dhyana,
and transmission. With these components, the tradition teaches specific methods of
training the human mind. It awakens the energy called Consciousness into the meaning
of one’s essential nature – “Thou art That” – until one’s small, ego-centered personality
and identification with the external are replaced by the knowledge of the Eternal Self –
ever-pure, ever-wise, ever-free. The methods are scientific, systematic and internal,
culminating in the mystery of initiation, and the direct conferring of the energy of
Consciousness to disciples until they become Masters in their own right
