How to Know Yourself
An experiential deep-dive to know who you are with Shiva Dhyan Yoga
Breathe in. Pause. Breathe out. In between there is a gap. For a moment we close the eyes to the external world. We let go the thoughts and set off on an inner journey. In this gap between inhaling and exhaling, your inner knowledge is awakened. And then when you open the eyes again, you see the world with an awakened awareness.
We learn from childhood and accumulate knowledge about the outer world. We learn knowledge to make a living.
The second type of knowledge, as Master Shiva Guruji describes, can you limited. It is the knowledge of “only what I know is right”.
The third kind of knowledge is the inner knowledge, about who you are. And this knowledge Shiva Guruji calls the knowledge, which awakens. It is an actual experience, through which you gain knowledge from your inner world, from your inner nature, who you are.
Shiva Guruji, Himalayan Shiva Dhyan Yoga Master
In this Shiva Dhyan Yoga Meditation the thumbs touch the middle fingers. It is called Akash mudra. Akash means space and mudra hand gesture.
Akash is one of the five elements of the existence, which are included in Shiva Dhyan Yoga. Master Shiva Guruji who has brought Shiva Dhyan Yoga from Himalaya for the benefit and well-being explains, that SHIVA means
Sky (Element Space)
Horizon (Element Earth)
Ignition (Element Fire)
Vast (Element Water)
Air (Element Air and Prana, the life force within).
Mudras are ancient hand gestures and have been part of meditation and healing for thousands of years.
