NEW...yoga....planning to switch

[karmacox]

i am assuming this:

all this NEW stuff can be replaced (with higher efficiency) with various yoga asanas (or other detailed physical exercies)

coz energy body is another way to say physical vitality and fitness right??? i.e. instead of doing sponging and bouncing and energy raising one can do yoga asanas coz it does the same work faster + increses flexibilty + cures thousands of disease....

i am thinking this coz i read yoga books and kundalini books and all the chakras and energy work are pertained to doing exercises of their physical location (like raise anus/perineum to raise kundalini or open base chakra)

of course its what works best for u but i was wondering if just asanas (and\or pranayama) is enuf for the whole energy body to develop at the rate or accordance to NEW...

i mean yoga is a more hollisitic spiritual thing than OBEing and raising energy to develop chakras and secondary storages and all coz it involves concentraion development and meditiation and flexibility and breath control simultaneouly n blah blah...therefore working better for me...(not that bruce doesnt have it but its just not complete yet...(for my expoloration\satisfication coz i am planning to drop NEW and do asanas + pranayam for chakras +relaxation which is equal to better obe\meditation)

Yoga is a wonderful practice for developing both your energetic and physical body as well as increasing your awareness and concentration. I highly encourage it to anyone who is interested. I would not go as far to say choose one over the other, but instead choose what works best for you if you must choose between them. Only you know what is best for you. In whatever form you will be learning make sure you are taught all the things you are seeking as some Yoga focuses mainly on the physical. My preference is Kundalini Yoga.

Good Luck!  :meditate:

NEW is just a more modern energy manipulation system, its included in yoga (in terms of turning on as many nerves as you can basically) but more breath orientated, and regarded as something more mystical, which it isnt really..
so you really can do them both together, i find it helps a lot. NEW and yoga are both geared towards finding tension/blockages and releasing them- so working them together is completely logical. Dont feel like your violating any thousand year old laws on yoga if you do lol.
to be honest i think NEW is a much more effective energy system because it deals with purely that (no physical movement), with yoga you have to get to a certain degree of physical loosness and pliability before you can start getting into the energy aspects.
