Yoga teaches mindful rearrangement of anatomical and perceptive relations throughout the entire existential body down to its subtlest particularities, through breath pattern exploration, and potentially breath surfing to other perceptive dimensions. Breath (specific existential movement patterns) is characteristic of all formed (form) and forming (concept) phenomena, all embedded into a specific web of perception (diverse ecosystems, species variation).
In terms of pranayama (breathing techniques), which is more helpful on the path to liberation through practice? To manipulate the breath consciously, imposing its karma (consequences) onto the physiological structure (for example, cat-cow breath/body patterns)? Or, to merely observe the breath as it is in meditation, as in Vipassana (Buddha), and allow for the physiological structure to sort itself out by not intervening at all? And, which is the greater act of faith on the path to liberation? What if liberation is merely matter of perception, and indeed available in every moment? What are we experiencing while suffering? But a passing phenomenon? Then liberation is not suffering. But joy is also a passing phenomenon. Thus, liberation is not joy? What lies beyond sorrow and joy? Peace of mind? What a blissful residence indeed must be a peaceful mind (physiology) to a sadaka’s (seeker) soul. If it were so easy as to slip into any moment at the moment, then why is yoga so complex? And like it, other arts demanding study, practice and dedication. Is liberation an act of art (the mastering of a technique that gives structure to creative expression, form to spirit)? Liberation, a magic trick, learned through trials, that makes the woes of humanhood disappear? That liberates consciousness of its own games of folly? Games that humans share amongst each other, not unlike germs, for better or worse.
