Ashtanga Yoga
AT THE BOTANICAL GARDEN MUSEUM OF ROME WE ARE NATURE
We are part of nature when we are not. in its arms, losing our defences, and ideas inherited from words and concepts, is nothing more than free breathing,
A breath that exchanges information and opens to our true state, consciousness.
Not being are we
A path through yoga ashtanga practice, where each movement corresponds to a posture, a movement, shifts the attention and brings the practitioner into a space where the breath permeates and consciously pervades everything. An awareness that is not of the practitioner, but of the one who
the practitioner wears.
To awaken to the breath, is to go beyond the very idea we have of ourselves. An idea far removed from reality.
- Why a path based on this boundless quest? I believe that in the historical moment in which we find ourselves, we have all understood even if not, given the nonsense of most things, that surround us.
What is really worth in a space of ‘time’ given to each of us?
- What is it really worth?
These questions, however bizarre and/or absurd they may seem, are answered where there is no answer, or rather
The only answer lies in that which gives face, life and form to everything. The so called … breath or air Many names, many interpretations, the clear and irrefutable fact is that without air there is no life.
Not being are we
Let this be the mantra for those anchored to a model never chosen
Research through the use of the body, a crude instrument to return to where everything is born, in the breath, makes if lived honestly, all our actions, not our own, free to simply be action.
An action that is seemingly involuntary ‘breathing’ but he is free breathing, as long as he is outside us, dancing and creating all forms of beauty and majestic eternity.
The immediate model ‘first name, last name, mum, dad, grandma, shoes, bell, clean car, that’s how we do it, us and then, out with ‘YOU’ a dichotomous spastic intention of ignorance and nonsense, which leads the human being to a life of monotonous and nonsensical repetition of ‘suffered’ models
because never analysed, never seen as a cage, as a bandage limiting one’s life, -mi
I get up, eat breakfast, spend time in production or, in the service of a system, I feed, sleep and so on 365 days, for 100 years.
This is a path with no choice. To call oneself free in an enclosure is not to be free, even if it pleases us to tell ourselves so all the time.
To be Action is to be in a path of loss, loss of what we believe we are, but
simply being, being free to be breathed. Yes, because here no one breathes, no one is, no one does, believing they are such and such, one simply deprives oneself of the freedom that is due to every being, freedom that becomes being open to everything to every gesture, message, thought and being
living.
Just as I do not choose whose breath enters my nose, I do not know where the air I exhale will go and who will breathe it after me.
This is the beginning of a path of choice, or rather no discernment.
Programme for the development of a human being retraining project.
At the Department of Environmental Biology of Rome’s La Sapienza University, Botanical Garden Museum of Rome, a research centre on breath
- History, where it came from, and why it was the basis of our knowledge and most important discoveries, without breath nothing is
At the basis of all our perceptive possibilities, breathing is the starting point of all research, even if not investigated because it is an intrinsic and fundamental fact of life itself, it is now more than ever
a need for investigation. A re-consciousness that crosses the word, and any creed and/or affiliation.
For the ancient Greeks, psyché (ψυχή) was the soul and breath. The term psyché indicates, of course, the psychic sphere, that is, a sensitive soul and a reflective mind. But psyché also means breath, the life-giving breath: it is therefore breath that gives the body its soul and mind.
- RI put man at the centre of nature through a research path,
‘we are nature’
through studies, and postures the path to rediscovering how our breath is the breath of the earth, that participates in the creation of everything around us. A process of self-discovery as part of a much larger system
- A research programme for students and practitioners
where one can evaluate, how the work through yoga ashtanga practice, works on the body.
through the breath.
Develop the focus, not only on the body used as a tool, with all the benefits related to conscious movement, i.e. oxygenation of the fibres, better circulation, purification of the
waste accumulation and food intoxication, enhancement of every vital organ just to name a few ‘obvious’ benefits. But, how we participate and enhance our every cognitive possibility, enhancement of attention, development of concentration, development of inner silence, breathing that controls the heartbeat is a fundamental tool in the management of anxiety
states associated with study, and work.
Gathering data, and comparing with a ‘before and after’ an unprecedented path, and one that is now clearly outlined as the future of a humanity that can only awaken and resume its place as part of a much more consolidated system in nature.
- Our body, a precious device. allows us to come into contact with the ‘reality’ perceivable through the senses, what are senses? TOOLS just as the reality of the senses limits our perception in order to know ourselves, so the limit becomes a tool to be crossed.
NO PLACE TO GO NO WORD TO KNOW
In reflection we are a visible contrast, no separation there where consciousness is nothing but everything, all of us.
A humble vision, as such ready to climb every veta, where arrival does not exist
Humility thus becomes healthy pride, not of being, but of being part of a design. A continuous and reconfirmed choice, not ‘bad luck’ or subservience but victory because you know that everything is here for you, and for the
your elevation.
A being at the disposal of the other you, ‘what can you tell me about you that you don’t already know about me’? This is a first mantra, because the other, it is insofar as it is made visible to me, what is it telling us? That he is like me alone, and in his loneliness he seeks me to understand himself, understand what?
Understanding that everything is his creation, then fostering becomes the way home, home is wherever I am, home is everywhere.
A path backwards not to reach but to stop searching.
This yoga practice. has always lent itself to the time lived, has made itself what it is interpreted to be so humble and unworthy of being recognised, yes because by giving itself, it has always interpreted this Sufi saying ‘all that you give is yours’ It has given itself to our various guises and capacities of being and feeling.
Today, what can I really feel, be become in a practice that wants to make me empty? How can I who artfully interpret what I have been told to be?
How can I get out of the character it says on the diploma, degree, document, place of work? How can I allow myself to be anything other than that ridiculous nameplate on the intercom?
Can I. or do I risk losing everything if I happen to realise it?
The human being wills, acquires by repetition, accumulates by experience and makes sterile the field that is.
What does this practice want if not to give you everything? That everything you don’t know you are, since you stop acquiring it, because real help is freeing a person from the need for help.
This independence I do not want is the way.
Real sense lies where, if anything, sense does not exist
To open myself to the other sense, is to abandon the need to encode and finally lose myself.
Losing myself to manners, to education to the concept immediately and then becoming the tight dress that suffocates and represses my every free being.
What makes sense in a world of non-sense except to stop being what I am not? This practice is not meant to give you, but rather to take you away, to demolish you from suffocating words and physical postures
subjected to a restrictive, limiting model. That has made you rigidly thought enclosed within the four walls you have carefully erected around you.
To break down the walls is to open yourself is to practise yoga ashtanga.
A reflection that dissolves, a reflection that in this mirror becomes no longer identification with being ‘Antonella, Maria, Giulia Francesco, Simone ecce cc etc.’.
But a rupture that leads me to establish myself in interest. A reflection of me that creates what the eye perceives, and my every sense can recognise, as real, a real that is real limit and not
boundless heritage and certainly not to be identified.
The ashtanga yoga practice
Serious research aimed at revealing the endless bandages that conceal the individual from his or her true being.
No words to know no place to go
Ashtanga in its purity and almost wordlessness, is the way to a purification that leaves no room for words, and verbal or soteriological speculation.
It is a path that uses the body as a crude tool, a body that limited by its own non-choices creates a posture of habit. A habit that is closure of self, and from you. This practice after millennia, is the way to tear down the fence erected with care and millenary excuses, the survival of me and the never species, at the expense of everything, an everything that is distance and coercion.
Ashtanga yoga
It lends itself to the real evolution of a being, which is nothing more than consciousness in motion that is unaware of its real state. An extraordinary practice that today, a time of great darkness of consciousness, can only be included in a real research work.
I speak not only from my personal experience as a practitioner, but I feel that it is the silent answer to something that was looking for, and I like to say, through me expresses itself, a me that is not self-referral but a me that is our, each of us’ possibility to become everything! Because we are everything, from the moment we break this useless and obsolete identification with this small body.
Yoga Ashtanga, it is in the search for the ancient that we can design the future, a study of yoga from its anthropological foundations, to the dawn of man’s quest.
Serious root research, as we are trying to cultivate and communicate, is almost extinct. Exposing practitioners to a confrontation with botanists and researchers is a medium I find very interesting, emphasising this circular exchange between us and everything around us. In fact, the project is called
WE ARE NATURE
The research is based on bringing yoga practitioners into a discussion, emphasising the breath and how fundamental it is to every perceptive possibility we have. From there, we move on to breathing exercises, and then to practice in greenhouses and lemon houses, focusing on this continuous exchange of breath and movement. The research uses the practice of Ashtanga yoga as a, dare I say, destructive tool to overcome the limits of the individual’s self-identification, which fascinates us and we feel makes a lot of sense. An Intense WORK ON CONSCIOUSNESS.
Consciousness is the underlying starting point of our every gesture and/or word, thought.
To have the knowledge of being able to interact with that which makes everything possible is in my opinion a real revolution, a revolution without words, but with that which creates every word and gives shape to
every thought.
NO WORDS TO KNOW NO PLACE TO GO.
With this perspective, and repetitive practice, an attempt is made to dismantle the various bandages that oppress the individual in dense and tenacious ignorance.
Biophilia
The term ‘biophilia’ literally means, passion for life,in a broad sense ‘love of life’
How conscious, serious and determined work in a scientific environment on consciousness is the real asset of a museum dedicated to nature, an opportunity to put the human being back at the centre of nature.
‘we are nature’
a vision, towards a future that is our present, Only by placing ourselves with respect, and knowledge of our true state can we call ourselves human, a humanity that is nature in a circular sense, everything is us as we are in everything.
Through work on the body, the study of postures, a millennial journey through time in which man spoke with nature, in the time when man was aware of his being nature, a journey backwards for a conscious and healthy present.
