Saul David Raye – Yoga of the Heart
Description of Yoga of the Heart
Activate the 5 Dimensions of the Self and Awaken Your Heart to Deeper Love, Bliss & Wisdom
Experience the Power of Heart-centered Yogic Wisdom and Practice & Awaken Your Highest Potential Through Yoga’s Holistic Path for Body and Mind
Yoga is often taught as mainly a physical practice in the West with the main importance on bodily postures, strength and flexibility. Like a branch is part of a tree, the physical aspect of yoga, or asana, is one branch of the great tree of yoga.
Though well over 5,000 years old, yoga has incredible relevance today. It’s practiced all around the world by people from all walks of life and is a major force in shaping the emerging consciousness on the planet.
The true, deeper yoga is a path for body, mind and soul. It transcends differences and speaks to the heart each of us. Yoga is the technology of awakening the heart, the space of pure consciousness within us, the space where all polarities dissolve and we experience our connection to source and the unity of all things.
The 5 Energy Layers of Your Being
Sacred yogic traditions have long worked with the 5 subtle energy layers orkoshas… and the heart as the center of being, wisdom and energy.
Your yoga practice can help bring awareness, expression and healing to these five layers of your being — giving you direct access your authentic Self, powers of intention (Sankalpa), more love and greater compassion.
World-renowned teacher Saul David Raye draws on the depth of the Yoga tradition, Bhakti, Tantra and universal light. Through his heart-centered, holistic teachings, you can awaken to the subtle energy layers of your being, navigate your soul’s journey more skillfully and engage in daily life with more ease and purpose.
He’ll share teachings that will affect how you experience yoga and give you tools and support to embrace your own authentic yoga and path. He’ll reveal the profound, universal wisdom at the heart of Yoga.
Annamaya kosha is your first layer and translated, means, “made of physical matter.” This first layer is your physical body, including bodily functions and all physical aspects of your being. When you are stuck in this layer, it’s easy to forget you are MORE than your body…
Pranamaya kosha is your second layer or your “Prana” layer, the life force that vitalizes and holds together your body and mind. It permeates your entire being and governs your biological processes. Without it, your body would cease to function.
Manomaya kosha, or your “body made of thought processes,” is your third layer and encompasses your nervous system and brain. It receives input from your five senses and responds, shaping your experiences by the stimuli you receive. If you receive too much sensory input (negative or positive) you can experience energetic blocks or overwhelm your system.
Vijnanamaya kosha is your fourth layer, translated as “the power of judgment or discernment,” is your layer of intellect which discriminates, determines and wills. This layer distinguishes humans from animals. Regular meditation and focus on your yogic path, strengthen and balance your clarity, intuition and connection to inner guidance.
Anandamaya kosha is your fifth layer and is your subtle energy body of truth, beauty, and spiritual bliss. This innermost layer is extremely important in yoga because it’s where spirituality and matter meet. It’s the final and thinnest veil between your general awareness and connection to your higher Self.
