Bandha

Each part of our being has the capacity to aid in the spiritual quest.

Various psychophysical techniques, such as Hatha Yoga, Pranayama, Mudras, Bandhas, help to direct the flow of energy of the physical being.

Jnana Yoga uses various forms of meditation, concentration, and techniques of directed intense focus of thought on specific issues to help achieve the results associated with the yoga of knowledge.

Karma Yoga integrates the mind, the willpower, the vital energy, and the physical body in an attitude of service that can bring identification with the divine intention in the manifestation.

I don't think we get much instruction on the neck.

And if we do, well, it's Jalandhada Bandha.

Traditionally, Bandha is a seal or a lock or a tethering, yeah? But my reappraisal of the Bandha, which is the lock or a seal, is not as lock or seal.

Seeing the different angles of yoga from different perspect- from 30 different perspective.

From a Hatha yoga perspective, from a Kundalini yoga perspective, from a Jnana yoga perspective, from a Karma yoga pers-perspective, from the Puranas perspective, from, uh, the different authentic, uh, Kriyas, uh, the Mudras and the Bandhas and, you know, and so forth.

There's so many, so many different aspects, right? And Raja Yoga and, uh, uh, you know, so forth.

So, so these all are addressing different.
