A SCIENTIFIC METHOD TO EXPLORE THE SELF

Nowadays the words yoga and meditation have become well-known everywhere for the simple reason that they stand for higher values. The science of yoga has not only the effect of physical and mental relaxation, it takes the practitioner towards the deeper emotional, intuitional and spiritual dimensions of life.

For a worldly person, sensual enjoyment and intellectual awareness form the ultimate reality; any higher expression is just an abstraction which is beyond human comprehension. Yet, such thinking originates from an excessive materialism imposed by society.

The science of yoga is 7000 years old, yet at the same time it is the newest form of physical, psychic and spiritual healing. No longer regarded as the theoretics of Indian "sadhus" who lie on beds of nails, the amazing results of yoga are now being studied scientifically in many parts of the world.
