Karma Niyama - order of act and result, e.g., desirable and undesirable acts produce corresponding good and bad results. As surely as water seeks its own level so does Karma, given opportunity, produce its inevitable result, not in the form of a reward or punishment but as an innate sequence.

I think that journaling is very helpful, as I tend to forget from year to year, decade to decade, some of the lessons I have learned and the progression of one thing leading to the next.

I am currently in the process of reviewing journals and was wondering if any one has a method for keeping records which allows for easy review.

[Love and Light]

When people first hear the word Brahmacarya it can be a bit puzzling. There are elements involved that can seem nebulous, not quite touchable, and so impart upon you a curious and even sometimes lingering sense of uncertainty in regard to what it is, and what it means. Perhaps even moreso than to this, there can be a perplexity in regard to its... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (omcasey) http://movingintostillness.yuku.com/topic/3250 Sun, 31 Dec 2006 18:00:30 GMT <![CDATA[ Now there's a thing! ]]> http://movingintostillness.yuku.com/topic/3256/t/Now-there-s-a-thing-.html

I'm interested in knowing the perspective of YOGA with respect to suicide and euthanasia (2 different questions!).

I found references to articles by Feuerstein (such as "Feuerstein, G: The Yoga Perspective on Pain, Mental Health, and Euthanasia, Pain and Pain Management, pp. 3-5" on www.yogaforwellnesspro.com/fibro2.html), but I have been... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Yoga Spirit) http://movingintostillness.yuku.com/topic/3248 Thu, 02 Nov 2006 16:18:25 GMT <![CDATA[ Who (or what) are Gopala and Govinda? ]]> http://movingintostillness.yuku.com/topic/3258/t/Who-or-what-are-Gopala-and-Govinda-.html The names Gopala and Govinda are used constantly.

Does anyone know? I am really curious.

It is an important yama because it learn you to preserve your life energy (the sexual energy - the basic energy of creation - the support of creation), to increase it and then to use it to achieve to Yoga state.

There are two ways: continence or abstinence.

I find that abstinence is a very long and difficult way.

I by no means have extensive knowledge about yoga, in fact i have very little so bear with me cuz this may be a stupid question.
