When we learn to meditate we become internal explorer and investigators, we study our reactions and the processes of the mind, on conscious and unconscious levels. We are the internal researchers. Meditation helps us to fully know and understand all the capacities of the mind,memory, concentration, emotion, reasoning and intuition. Through meditation we begin to understand how to coordinate , balance, and enhance all these capabilities, using them to their fullest potential.
We need the burning desire to know our own True potential.

The meditation practice is divided into three main stages:
Initial: At this stage the student thinks he/she is practicing, but actually he/she is preparing for practice. In this case the practice consists of collecting the necessary means and resources to begin to stay in the path.
Intermediate: At this stage, a students is fully equipped with all the resources he/she needs to practice. His/Hes time and energyare not involved in collecting means and learning methods, rather he spends his time in practice.
Last stage: achievement : At this stage, a student experiences the Truth. He/She may have only momentary glimpses of Truth, but at least is direct experience, which helps him/her understand the greatness of the Truth. Spiritual practice or Sadhana consists in trying to maintain that state. As his/her practice matures , he/she becomes and adept, then he/she needs no to try any more, for the experience of non-dual Reality is maintained effortlessly and spontaneously.

There are many Paths to Self- Realization but the four principal ones are:
Karma Yoga – The Yoga of Action
Bhakti Yoga – The Yoga of Devotion
Jnana Yoga – The Yoga of Knowledge and Discrimination
Raja Yoga – The Royal Path
Raja Yoga includes the teachings of all different Paths and it concerns itself with three dimensions or realms :
-Physical
-Mental
-Spiritual
When we master Raja Yoga , we achieve mastering of the three realms, leading us to Self-Realization. The origins of Raja Yoga are unknown, but they are considered Teaching’s of Divine Origin.
It is a true Gift to be able to practice Raja Yoga or also called Astanga_Yoga.
