Chapter 3 – Expanded Applications

Our discussion of samyama so far has been focused on the practical application of its essential principles for broad purification and opening within our nervous system to advance our progress toward enlightenment. The incorporation of samyama into our daily routine of sitting practices right after deep meditation, and the selection of sutras to use, are designed to cover a wide territory both within and around us. We can say that this approach is qualitative, meaning it is for enhancing the quality of our life in the broadest terms. In doing so, it opens the door for improving our experience in everyday living – often in ways we might least expect. By steadily awakening the qualities of the divine within us, all of life is uplifted as we gradually become a channel for that expression.

With a good foundation of daily samyama practice in place, well stabilized within our overall routine of practices for some time, we will find ourselves in a position to consider further applications of samyama. Indeed, it is natural to desire more, building on the practice routine we have so prudently established. Fortunately we can do this in ways that do not overwhelm our schedule and busy life. We seek a good balance between our practices and daily living. We need both to assure our spiritual progress.

Here we will explore several expanded applications of samyama that can provide additional benefits in our daily life, without greatly increasing our time in practices each day. Indeed, much of what we will be adding here will be enhancing practices we are already doing, without adding any time to our twice-daily routine.

The applications of samyama we will discuss here are decidedly more quantitative, designed to enhance the flow of pure bliss consciousness on the physical plane in specific ways. None of these should be considered to be a replacement for our primary samyama practice as discussed in the previous chapter. Rather, these are logical expansions in practice that bring benefits in addition to our core sitting samyama practice.

Sooner or later we will find ourselves moving naturally into the areas discussed in this chapter. Perhaps we have been already. All of yoga will be percolating within us as we continue to advance along our path of daily practice.
