120 From: Pedro Hernandez <vivir120@yahoo.com.mx> Date: Tue Mar 8, 2005 7:24am Subject: Re: Outdoor Yoga vivir120 Offline Send Email Hi all:
Patthabi Jois wrote on his book Yoga Mala to avoid practising hatha yoga outdoors. I lent my book so I don4t have to search for the reasons.
Around 8 years ago I had an interest experience practising Qi Gong outdoors. I did an exercise where my eyes were closed. When I was done and opened my eyes I felt the sky more brilliant. The sky was so shinning I felt scared for a few seconds. I related my Qi gong teacher about the experience and she told me if nobody told me about don4t doing Qi Gong outdoors, because chakras got opened and you are in danger of getting dangerous energies. Anyway my teacher was amazed regarding my experience because I was a newbie on Qi Gong on that time.
When I practise outdoor yoga I look for the shadow of a big tree.

Ganas, or spirit 'entities' reside everywhere...and the power of nature is all-encompassing. Buddha sat under the bodhi tree, not next to his television...
I simply don't see, except for possible specific places, how outdoors could be considered 'evil', or unwelcome!?
Have we gotten' too used to being creature of domicile?

Personally I think to not do anything like that outdoors is nonsense. It is great doing Tai Chi outdoors especially near water. If I do Wild Goose Chi Kung and the Canadian Geese are migrating overhead it is a wonderful feeling. It is lovely to feel the sun, see the sky and the moving clouds while merging with nature. The only drawbacks for sitting silently would be flies and other distractions ( so I like sitting silently indoors), or when doing a moving form having the dogs think you are bending down so they can lick your face, or the cats coming to rub agaisnt your legs or demand a stroke.
People love rules don't they and gradually you build up so many things you have to do or can't do before you meditate it all becomes ritual.
A monk told a fellow brother,"I asked the Father Superior if I could smoke while I prayed and he said,"No." His companion replied,"I told you before it is all in the language you use. You should have asked,"Can I pray while I smoke?"
