The Force of Harmony manifest in all aspects of being and life is a powerful response to the crises of our times. The article also talks about how to receive this Force.

The Yoga of Love

By James AndersonJul 15, 2018

The descending path

By James AndersonJul 15, 2011

The following article describes a personal journey towards an integral healing and realignment of the entire personality through the processes of Integral Yoga.Although each of us experiences the yoga journey in a unique way, this article brings out some key elements and central processes of the Integral Yoga that stand as universal constants. It rightly points out that the ultimate way out of human problems and issues, whether of health or otherwise, is the way within. All yogic traditions recognise this need of going within and looking from within. However, the Integral Yoga teaches us also how to bring out this inmost core and exercise its influence upon the without, on our surface consciousness, our body and eventually even upon our external environment. But for this process to arrive at its fullness, there is needed, on the one side, a constant and sincere aspiration full of faith and surrender that ascends like a one-pointed flame of sacrifice from earth and, on the other side, a descent of the very highest Grace, the Peace and Wideness and Knowledge and Power and Ananda of the Divine Consciousness-Force, the One referred to as the Cit-Śakti in the Vedas and adored as Aditi, the Supreme Mother in the Tāntras and the Puraṇas. While the two processes of ascent and descent go together, the focus of this article is on the descending path.
