quote this term back to you, as if you are brand new to the field yoga. You began to feel small and tiny over time. Why is this? One has to incorporate Yoga into every area and inch of your well being and life story. When I lived in Ann Arbor, Michigan as a Student, I was amazed at the different public perceptions of local Yoga Instructors. I have listed some public statements below for social everyday conversations: 1. They are always happy and joyful 2. Their skin completion is beautiful, they glow 3. They are always financially stable, secure, and wealthy 4. They are so pleasant to be around. After awhile, as I studied my Hatha yoga, I began to wonder (as you will find, many yoga trainees will do.☺): 1. “Am I a true yogi?” 2. “This is so much information, can I absorb it all?” 3. “What is the exact definition of a Yogi?” 4. “Can I become the image that is floating around my city?” The second year; my Teacher gave me confidence not to “worry so much”, on mastering the yoga and information; calling me the “Yoga Scientist” in my lesson feedback, and granting me an A grade or homework credit. I held this in the back of my mind as the months went by, my worry wore off slowly, and I was driven for more information, feeling incomplete until my 3 year of Yoga. It is very true that action does speak louder than words, many volumes, and boldness. Imagine, one must be able to integrate the yogi concepts in their Copyright Year: 2007, 2008 Copyright Notice: by Dr. Leslie M Moore, B.A., Ph.D., Yoga Ed.

everyday life, health remedies, stress management, and embed them deep into their subconsciousness. Keep in mind, mastering the Yogi within, takes time, practice, and patience, before you will actually feel secure as a Yoga Guru. A combination of literature, Yoga practice, prayer, and meditation will assist you on your journey within. There are many yoga styles and paths to choose from. Always understand your path thoroughly; before you educate others, the key is to be very humble and open to receive more information. A complete balance is recommended, bouncing from one extreme to another will not make you a master of anything. Students will only appear impatience and confused when searching for the fast path to enlightenment and Yoga. Take your time and stay focused every day. There are many life distractions that can detour the yogi trainee. Some Yogins will explore one path while others many paths, there is no correct way to begin your journey, keep in mind you are in no competitions or race to the finish line, you the yogi are in charge, the whole entire trip. You will begin to heal your life inside and out, your environment, job, and friends may begin to change around you. The key is to remain “Fearless” as a Yogi.

Lesson 2 What is Hatha?

Hatha is a yoga of balance, gentleness, strength, fitness, and awakening energy. Some individuals of the Spiritual and Meditation Yoga will misunderstand the physical styles, and vice versa. As I mentioned in my Alternative Therapy book, Yoga is both a Religion and Fitness Experience. It really depends on your chosen Yoga path or Yoga Style. Each Style provides a form of healing, detox, stress relieve, relaxation, meditation, and problem solving; in proven scientific techniques. The Path itself can be spiritual or non spiritual, Meditation or no Meditation, Hinduism or Non-Hinduism, Buddhism or Non-Buddhism. We all must keep in mind; the path of Yoga has many founders, teachers, Gurus, and ancient Masters. Each Master or founder has his own Yoga Path. As a student or trainee, we can freely learn from all the paths available to us. Sorry, to say; this Yoga misunderstanding, myths, or at times contradictions; happens very easily due to America today. In the Hip, growing field of personal trainers, the modern yoga instructor may not see or have been taught; the importance of all Hatha balancing elements. Some are investing hundreds of dollars to not get the full picture of yoga training. Therefore; a true yoga trainee must invest another $500.00 to $1000.00 a year, to get the complete understanding and yoga experience. A budget below that and you are lucky. A Yoga Instructor education cost, will then add up to a Copyright Year: 2007, 2008 Copyright Notice: by Dr. Leslie M Moore, B.A., Ph.D., Yoga Ed.

secular bachelors or master degree in time. It is up to the individual, Personal Trainer, what path they would like to pursue in Yoga. Eventually, one can become accredited for every independent class, workshop, and experience, if documented at home. Associations will deem you Expert of Grand Parent Yogi for your many accomplishments. Sad, American image is based on thin bodies, popular media, yoga fashion, and star appearance of physical yoga. No worries, The Yoga Teachers are slowly taking charge, and bringing alive the ancient India Traditions. Now you can visualize why naturally, Yoga Spiritualist cannot imagine anything more than the physical poses. Surprising; Hatha is the perfect blend of asanas, postures, breathing, meditation, and relaxation exercises. Its purpose is to blend and balance both the Spiritual and Physical experience together as one. Hatha is also known as Basic or Classical yoga, in conversation or physical practice terms. Many other styles are actual branches from the Hatha Path. The word Yoga means union with God; imagine this union being the foundation of your Home Hatha practice. When in Physical or fitness yoga, some students may forget the importance of the breathing and meditation elements of this style. Honestly; the Hatha Yogi is left empty, like a growing void; without including all of the elements connected to this Path or style. To some the asana practice alone is enough work. Asana in Yoga Sanskrit means, comfortable, or stable pose. Asanas are actually easy to do. Non Yogins will view your practice and say, “Oh that looks so easy!” Yes this is actually true. Any Person, body type, and age can practice physical yoga. In Hatha, The asanas begin very basic, you learn a series of stretches, joint work, relaxation, Copyright Year: 2007, 2008 Copyright Notice: by Dr. Leslie M Moore, B.A., Ph.D., Yoga Ed.

facial massages, and warm ups before entering the fire core element of asana practice. Imagine, not the look of yoga, but the benefits. Asanas are good for toning the muscles, strengthening the body, disciplining the mind, and purifying your organs. A Yoga Master will stay youthful and illness free, after years of well rounded, yoga practice. Many Healers, Practitioners, and Masters will use Hatha Yoga, to give Yoga Therapy also called Medical Yoga for ill or Rehab clients. This is why the Yogi Trainee must master his or her inner fire and energy source to grow in Yoga practice; you will need bolts of energy for your weekly schedule. We will discuss this in later lessons, how to overcome fatigue and tiredness. Fellow Yogins, the blend itself, will complete each other; we recharge and feel renewed, satisfied, and rejuvenated after the full integration process of Hatha. The Integration will leave you with a healthy, conditioned physical body, for your silent meditations and spiritual rituals. The Yogi will feel enlightened and truly connected, mind, body, and soul. Some teachers will include the chakra centers and mantras in their Hatha practice; it is all based on the individual Practitioners and time allowance in class schedules. This will also give balance and energy clearing to Hatha Yoga.

Lesson 3 Understanding the Yoga Paths The purpose of Yoga Paths is to take you inward, exploring your higher self, personality, life questions, and God consciousness. You become more spiritually aware, alert, and on a Higher God Path, very similar to Christ and Biblical Scriptures. As you journey to other paths, confusion can arise or misconceptions, it is wise to take it slow, to not hurry your knowledge and awareness building. Learning at your own yogi speed, is very helpful, in yoga explorations. Our paths can happen naturally depending on your source of information and training. At times, one class alone can provide a grand introduction, however; other classes, barely any style information at all. This depends on the class format and teacher style. I have researched and listed the variety of styles and yoga paths below: Some I have practiced, mastered, and others yet to explore as Yoga Instructor and Metaphysician. Yoga is a life long process; we must learn to enjoy each path to enlightenment without speedy competitions. 1. Raja Yoga: The Royal or Realization path, know as the “highest” yoga 2. Karma Yoga: Achieving union with God with right action and service 3. Bhakti Yoga: The path of love, devotion, and Divinity Copyright Year: 2007, 2008 Copyright Notice: by Dr. Leslie M Moore, B.A., Ph.D., Yoga Ed.

4. Jnana Yoga: Philosophy, intellect, seeing the mind and personality clear 5. Chakra Yoga: The Yogi heals with their energy chakras and asana poses 6. Tantra Yoga: individuals explore universal consciousness and sexuality 7. Mantra Yoga: The Yogi uses vocal sounds and Words in meditation 8. Kundalini Yoga: Awakening dormant energy in chakras, similar to others 9. Nude Yoga: Nudist Yoga, no clothing, explores freedom, all body types. 10. Kriya Yoga: Meditation practice, builds awareness of the self and mind. 11. Ashtanga Yoga: fitness yoga, one removes muscle and organ toxins.

Each yoga path has definitions that are book volumes long, however; this only gives you an idea, visual, and concept of each practice. I know some of you will get excited and on a yogi mission to learn as many paths as possible. Yes, this is good, I need you to keep that excitement, however; take it slow. Do not overwhelm the senses, intuition, body, and soul’s advancement process. We all have our natural speed; do not force yourself too much. Motivation, inspiration, love, and aliveness are good qualities for all Yogins. This keeps us balanced and ready to go, to the next level. When you feel blocked, detoured, at war, lacking support and intuition, keep in mind, Meditation and Prayer time can quiet the mind and guide you back to your yoga path.

Lesson 4 The Healing Energy of Life

This information I have learned and experienced as a Metaphysician, Holistic Psychic, and Yogi. The information is beyond our complete understanding and logic, amazingly “universal”, with many terms and content. Imagine; God is our one source, in all religions and spiritual practice. When we speak of the “Divine Being within”, that also means “God within.” This Divine Being is your Lamp, energy, and guiding light to shine for you and all to see. It is amazing, many individuals in New Age, Wicca, Metaphysics, and Yoga, will tell you the same comments, we all are connected and beliefs are similar. Once you explore another religions or Yoga paths, you will begin to see the signs and connecting pieces. One connecting piece is “energy.” Our bodies and environment is made up of energy and all of its creations. Yoga teaches us about the healing internal energy called “Prana.” Yogins teach of prana being a force and gift used to heal ourselves and other individuals, similar to psychics, reiki, the laying of hands, and body work. How do we invoke this cosmic force and inner power? Any breathing work, movement, thought, words, and affirmation are wonderful ways of using the healing gift of prana. Another concept of viewing this “life force” prana energy is by understanding the Chakra Energy Centers and Aura Shield. This is done in the field of Metaphysics, Copyright Year: 2007, 2008 Copyright Notice: by Dr. Leslie M Moore, B.A., Ph.D., Yoga Ed.

Psychic Science, and “Originally” Yoga Health and Science. We are taught, there are hundreds of chakras all over the body, this includes your hands, fingers, feet, every inch of you and your being. The popular chakras are the ones aligned down your spine, your seven chakras, and eight including the aura shield. Any Number beyond eight, is really optional and up to the channelor, The Yogins and New Age Practitioners, will make things simplistic and stay within seven or eight chakras. If you are guided to perceive more than eight chakras, number twelve or more, go with that, your angels, spirit guides, or family member, is trying to help you with a specific issue, learning topic, or environment concern. Keep in mind we have hundreds, so this is not unusual. Most new students will feel they are crazy or strange. Never doubt your connection, Psychic awareness, or intuition, based on text book or class information. You could be clear, accurate, and learning through your spirit guides, they already know this information from beautiful heaven library. I am sure there are heavenly books, we have yet to discover through our chakras and ClairCognizance channel. Colleges, workshops, and class courses, are only tools to assist us and intellect builders. I remember the days, of intuiting beyond logic and current book shelf information, I would automatically doubt myself; as if this was complete nonsense to imagine. I pass on to you, as the yoga student; never doubt your abilities and also someone else you know. We all have the same inner power. We can choose different ways of perceiving this information and learning methods. Example: Imagine one group of Five Girls, receiving the same heavenly message through different perceptions and Copyright Year: 2007, 2008 Copyright Notice: by Dr. Leslie M Moore, B.A., Ph.D., Yoga Ed.

intuitions. This group includes; Christians, Yogins, Metaphysicians, Wicca, and Psychics, all five girls can channel the same message but different vocabulary, terms, power, and Universal gifts. This is based on each girl’s background, family upbringing, education levels, and religion preference. Also, Keep in mind; there is no limit to how you learn, you can be apart of all spiritual perceptions.

Now before we move on to the next lesson, I have a question. Are you familiar with the Main Chakras? Maybe you are familiar with them. Sources such as; Blogs, Magazines, Metaphysical Books, Workshops, or Yoga Class, however; you do not know them by memory. No problem, I have enclosed a “Chakra Yoga List” Version below. Chakra Yoga Classes will be taught at a later time from Love and Divinity, this is one of my favorite, special paths, similar to other yoga paths that teach the Chakra System and Energy Topics. Any “life Issues” can be solved using Chakra Clearing and Meditation. Daily Chanting, Metaphysical Affirmations, or Prayer helps a lot. It takes practice & self love.

Lesson 5 The Purpose of Life-Your Spirituality

What is your life purpose? As I reflect back on my Experiences, Counseling Clients, and Religious Education, it all adds up to one meaning. No one can truly answer all of your questions, no matter how hard they work or try; the search begins within. Most Teachers, Gurus, or Masters can share their wisdom, experience, and enlightenment, which is universal to all man kind, however; personal dreams and success will lie in the palm of your hands and heart. You hold the key to your true destiny. You as the Yogi, carry a great deal of power; from God and Heavenly Guides. You must review your inner self and life movie, to evaluate and analyze the questions; “What am I searching for? What do I need? Why don’t I feel nourished or satisfied? Why do I feel alone and incomplete? Why do I feel this large void inside, I could cry?” I have witnessed so many questions, it is unbelievable; the deep sadness we can occur over time. Some individuals will search every material, external source, book, person, item, and city necessary, just to find their troubles are always close behind. Imagine you creating your destiny, day by day, minute by minute, small pieces of karma, and mirror reflections. You can never run from your problems or fears. To face the inner you will take a lot of strength, discernment, compassion, self-love, and much flexibility. There is great power Copyright Year: 2007, 2008 Copyright Notice: by Dr. Leslie M Moore, B.A., Ph.D., Yoga Ed. These lessons are not to be copied or revised without the Author’s permission.

in the present, to live in the moment, not the past or future will help you maintain better karma for yourself. For new Yogins, you may need to first understand what exactly is karma? Most of us in the contemporary world of youth and growth; have a general concept but very little. Karma involves cause and effect, reminding us all of the idea; that each one of us will reap what we sow. Keep in mind, this cause and effect, action and reaction, involves not only your spiritual life, but all relationships, our money, home environment, jobs, every area and issue of our reality. This may be hard to understand, for those of us going through hard times, financial woes, trauma, abuse, and love life issues. We begin to feel sorry for ourselves and become victims of our circumstance. This can happen for months to years before we, intuitively, figure it out one day, from a yogi healer or personal revelation. It is time we take control of our thoughts, speech, and actions. The pitfall is when we neglect our subconscious and conscious mental patterns. Our thoughts and words are the most powerful manifesting tool we have from God. When we are going through the darkest karma, earth hell, or timeline; it is something we created beforehand in the past. This realization, for some, may take time to digest. For me it took a series of events, literature, research, counseling others, discernment, and education, to come out of denial. I am true to my Taurus bull sign. A wonderful blessing for me personally; has been yoga and meditation. There are many forms of meditation; walking, cooking, lotus position, quiet daydreaming, mates activities, EST. One must meditate to learn from their past, to live in the moment, and create their new future. Remember Copyright Year: 2007, 2008 Copyright Notice: by Dr. Leslie M Moore, B.A., Ph.D., Yoga Ed.

now, that nothing is set in stone, not even the clearest, accurate, Psychic Predictions. Why, some may question. Well; this is because each person has the right and control, shift, and alter future realities. I remember in College, I would give someone a premonition or prediction, based on their current situation. The Person or college friend would dislike my prediction so much, that they would change it, on purpose, to prove me wrong. The incident was rubbed in my face for months afterwards. I never recovered fully, I questioned my faith and psychic awareness until God told me, what happened in clear detail. I was in shock; I was always 95% percent accurate due to my studies and research over the years. I had to release forgiveness to this friend and move on to enjoying my psychic levels and heavenly assistance. I share this with you, for your reality and psychic awareness. Always know; that the kingdom of God is within us and around us, God is our guide, and will give your life purpose. Your creations are birthed every day from past thoughts and daily events. When people and wishes come true by accident, we call this pure serendipity, feeling blessed and marveled at our good luck. However; know that this good luck is also a form of universal karma. It is through our karma that we reward and punish ourselves. We are like co-creators of God, Mini versions of the Mother and Father God image. This can be a fun experience or hell trial. Day by Day, week to week, we can be humble as God’s children, and enjoy each manifestation, event, mate, wealth, and good health, that we create successfully. We are little Gods and Goddesses. We have the power to create and destroy, you make the choice today. Easier said, than done, some of Copyright Year: 2007, 2008 Copyright Notice: by Dr. Leslie M Moore, B.A., Ph.D., Yoga Ed.

Lesson 6 Cleansing Effects of deep Breathing-Detoxification

If you have a toxin problem and ill health, then Yoga has your Prescription, guaranteed. This Holistic Prescription includes Yoga Asanas, Meditation, and of course, Deep breathing exercises. When beginning exercises or meditation practice, one method of achieving high relaxation and toxin cleansing, is how deep your breaths are. In yoga class, the instructor will introduce to you an amazing detail; most individuals actually do not use any breathing from their diaphragm. Only individuals who specialize in; Fitness Exercise, Yoga, or Professional Singers of Classical training; will learn how to use their diaphragm. This is because; using diaphragm exercises will aid many career, health, and channeling purposes. In Yoga Health and Science, we are taught how to cleanse, heal, and de-stress ourselves, when using breathing exercises, a little different from Music Instructors. Each teacher has a different purpose and ending result; the Yoga instructor’s goal is to help student’s mind, body, and soul wellness. Some Yoga breathing exercises taught in; Kriya, Kundalini, and Hatha Paths is the “Rapid Fire Breathing” “Breath of Fire” or “Bellow’s Breath.” This is a favorite exercise of mine I learned in Hatha training for a couple of years in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

Breath of Fire is a breathing exercise where you inhale and exhale rapidly through the nose (never the mouth) without pausing, and pumping the navel point while using the abdomen as a bellows. Any Yogi can practice this at their home of office area to eliminate the waste from the bottom of the lungs, a natural form of detox and abdominal exercise all in one sitting. If you are not trained or cannot imagine how to master this exercise without having a problem, then I strongly recommend not try to too many times, rely on an expert. Always practice yoga at your comfort level and own space (including the breath exercises). Any discomfort and pain, means you must stop, Yoga should not be painful. Other breathing yoga exercises include: 1. The Complete Breath= Exhale fully and slowly. Inhale for a count of sixteen or to your full capacity without stress and strain. Slow exhale the exact same count as your inhale. Again, breathe only through your nostrils not your mouth. Try to use your diaphragm and stomach not shallow breathing.

high stress at work I always, did my Alternative Nostril Breathing exercises as a Student trainee. This may take some practice, but will become habit after awhile. To prevent confusion; This exercise is best done with an instructor in a private or group class setting for clear direction, the student takes turns closing one nostril, and breathing through the other one. A series of repetitions is done for 5 to 6 rounds of exhalations and inhalations. The breath is to flow deeply through each nostril to cleanse, relax, and detox stress. In some instructions, they will instruct Yogins to breathe with no sound, smooth breath, however; if your sinus is clogged, blocked nasal passage, and with Fire Breathing you will hear a slight sound, so no worries. Practice makes perfect. In the beginning with (Beginner and intermediate) Yogi Students, we must experience a better diet, daily asanas, and extensive meditation practice to achieve high results in any classroom or advanced yoga study.

Lesson 7 Mastering the Fire Element, when Fatigue takes over your life Many of us experience hectic, stressed, and burned out routines on the regular basis. One way to rejuvenate is to practice Hatha Yoga. In Hatha, Practitioners and Teachers will try to incorporate the importance of Deep breathing and channeling your fire energy. This is a beautiful ability and best done using the breathing exercises and Chakra Yoga. Let’s review the Chakra Energy System for a moment. Out of the seven main chakras (see Chakra list in Lesson 4) the solar plexus, Third Chakra; will help you channel some energy, power, and selfesteem. The benefits over time; will blow you away; incredible results. Understanding Your Solar Plexus, Third Chakra This chakra is called your Solar Plexus and Manipura Chakra. The Manipura is important and used often in Hatha and Power Yoga Sessions. This chakra contains fire energy that requires attention and regular cleansing; like your other chakra energy centers. In this chakra you can glow with much metabolism and light. As men and woman age; you can tell when we forget how to “naturally” channel our fire energy. Our belly and abs become out of shape and bodies out of balance. This is a constant goal for me after college; that I will pass on to my Yoga Students online and in the local Gym. Please practice your “Yoga Pilates” and learn to exercise that core chakra energy. How else can you tell if your Manipura is balanced?

Introduction into Meditation Practice

There are many descriptions and opinions to meditation practice. Some experts will tell you, that you will never achieve a high or higher state of awareness. However; this is possible with the proper meditation props and many deep breathing exercises as a yogi. Therefore; I am not going to tell you what you can and cannot do or expect in practice. Each experience can be similar but different at the same time. Why and how can it be both? Some of you may be wondering this in confusion right now. The difference lies in our Yogi psychic abilities and intuitive awareness. Let’s say for example purposes, you have the psychic skills to channel clairvoyant using the eye senses and chakras; while your friend or family member may be the exact opposite. They may have the skills to channel clairaudient using the ear senses and chakras. Most of you may know or have heard of the seven main energy chakras. This was also mentioned in Part One of your Hatha Psychology Course. We do have others and over a hundred or million chakras not named or mentioned. This is why; we all have the power to use every psychic clair gift and medium experience known to man; but this may happen over time and is really up to the individual. Some advanced yoga psychics may pick and choose which gifts to use on auto pilot level, for different events, or client sessions as a Practitioner. Now that you have a small visual of the melting pot of talents one can possess; I will however; Copyright Year: 2007, 2008 Copyright Notice: by Dr. Leslie M Moore, B.A., Ph.D., Yoga Ed.

share the basic information to get you started or for some of you readers; this will be a form of review due to your levels of experience. Another tidbit to share is; not all meditation Yogins can say they are Intuitive or Psychic. They may report an experience here or there. Meditation will not always provide the psychic experiences, visions, spirit guides, angels, or even divine revelations. You as the Yogi have full control of the ebb flow of giving and receiving. You as the Yogi are the master of your meditation experiences. Some of you may or will meditate for months to even years without one vision or imagery message. While others in yoga will allow themselves to open up their chakras and belief system to this ancient and modern experience. The gifts are rewarding whenever you do, the psychic experience takes practice, clearing, issue releasing, and fearlessness. It also comes in excellent for any life challenges, strength building, faith elevation, premonitions, manifesting, relationships, child birthing, child rearing, and generation blessings.

The word meditation is also used in general terms as a mind clearing process or issue review. You may hear people mention how they will meditate on something or a situation. This is used for the concept of sitting somewhere quietly or daydreaming upon an answer of conclusion. The person may not actually perform the traditional meditation ritual or environment props, however; the mental clearing is very similar to the Copyright Year: 2007, 2008 Copyright Notice: by Dr. Leslie M Moore, B.A., Ph.D., Yoga Ed.

tradition meditation steps. Therefore; the person did not lie, they actually performed active and daytime meditation. Meditation can be done while working, studying, walking, socializing, cleaning, and any daily activity. Afterwhile, whether conscious or subconscious; the individual begins to meditate every day in several situations in any slow or steady working pace. I have had friends or co workers call this; ‘in the zone’. You become on auto auto pilot in habit activity. Some will argue with you about this generalization of Meditation terms, but the idea is very excellent and healthy; why make it so complex? It is amazing how some are quick to debate instead of learning another way or perception of action. The yoga or meditation community is no exception. There can be arguments and conflicts just within one social group. This is when one or all persons involved; are closed to the others ideas, experiences, or point of views. We have to learn how to embrace each other and be open minded. In some cases; this may build faith, strength, and more education for the struggling yogi or student. Once you become an expert, senior, or grandparent in your field, you are one with God, the universe, and all creations. You mellow out, become more at peace, ease, less frustrated, stressed, and without anger. Life becomes a flow of possibilities, experiences, and fun creations. Afterwhile; you start to see God in all life and circumstances. Being open will benefit your mind, body, and soul for yourself, clients, those you teach, and counsel. I am similar to you all, ‘yoga is a lifetime lesson’. When some say this; they may try to take away from your experiences or belittle you.
