A tantric yogi must channel this energy for divine purposes. Make every thought, word and action sacred, avoiding fantasies that develop the little self&#8217;s world and keep one from living in the moment.&#8221;<br><br>~ Alan Finger\u00a0<br>(How to expand the little self to merge into the big self)<br><br><br>&#8220;Brahmacharya &#8211; the moderation of the senses &#8211; is one of the key <br>practices yoga offers for managing sensory cravings. It is the fourth of five yamas, or restraints, which help us cultivate self-awareness and transform habits that are out of sync with our spiritual aspirations.<br><br>Literally, brahmacharya translates as \u201cwalking in God-consciousness.\u201d Practically speaking, this means that brahmacharya turns the mind <br>inward, balances the senses, and leads to freedom from dependencies and cravings. <br>Yogis tell us that when the mind is freed from domination <br>by the senses, sensory pleasures are replaced by inner joy.<br><br>Brahmacharya practices range from the very structured to the highly intuitive. A person who craves candy bars may need to impose a limit of one per day. Yet that double-decker chocolate cheesecake might be just right for a special occasion. In a world overwhelmed by stimuli, making wise choices about the books and magazines we read, the movies we watch, and the company we keep will help us conserve <br>energy and keep our mind focused and dynamic. Being moderate in sensory activities so that we don\u2019t dwell on them, staying committed and faithful to one partner in a relationship that is mutually supportive &#8211; this is the middle path of brahmacharya.&#8221;\u00a0<br><br>~ <a href=\"https:\/\/yogainternational.com\/article\/view\/brahmacharya-the-middle-path-of-restraint\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" title=\"Yoga International\">Yoga International<\/a><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-text-color\" style=\"color:#937f23;font-size:28px\">Montag 05.09.<br><strong>Flow into your Happy Place<\/strong><br>Flow<br><br>Wednesday 07.09.<br><strong>Heart-Breath Connection<\/strong><br>Slow Flow<br><br>Thursday 08.09.<br><strong>Open Theme<\/strong><br>Yogis Choice<br><br>Friday 09.09.<br><strong>Rock and Roll Flow<\/strong><br>Flow<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-text-color\" style=\"color:#06648c;font-size:26px\">What are your cravings?<br><br>Love,<br><br>Nicole<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\" style=\"font-size:28px\"><br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My dear Yogis and Yoginis, This week I want to share different thoughts on the forth yama Brahmacharya. &#8220;Every three minutes mother earth desires to create.
