Regulating the Mind

Regulating the mind involves calming the mind, calming the emotions and learning to use your mind to guide and direct the flow of your CHI - Energy. A major goal of the Tao masters was silencing the mind. The Taoist Exercises help in working on achieving this goal. Silencing all the thought processes of the mind usually requires a real effort of will power applied over a substantial period of time. One reward for calming down the mind is our increased ability to concentrate. This results in becoming able to learn techniques to focus inside of ourselves and get in touch with our organs.

Hindus believe in rebirth, or reincarnation, and in what they call the law of karma. Under this law the conditions of each new lifetime are determined by the actions of the preceding life. To the Hindu, salvation consists of liberating the soul from attachment to worldly desires in order to gain union with Brahman. This is where Meditation comes in, which is important in yoga. Meditation also connotes the word concentration.Ashtana yoga
