Yoga is liberation from the bondage of limited thought, the conceptual mind, fabrication, and artificiality. Yoga frees us from superficiality, hollowness, attachment to neurotic external sublimation/ compensation and brings us into our more primary state of conscious existence. Yoga leads us into reality through our association with truth, love, light and peace. Hatha yoga does this through awakening the creative and evolutionary energy (kundalini), utilizing six major activities, namely: (1) purification exercises for the body, psychic nerves, and mind (kriyas); (2) positions that purify the body/mind and also build up psychic heat, inner psychic strength, and activate dormant circuitry (asanas); (3) the activation of various energy locks that prevent the dissipation of spiritual energy and accelerate the inner activation and natural evolutionary energy flow (bandhas); (4) consciously establishing a working relationship with our core energy and the source of prana mainly through breath control exercises (pranayama); (5) utilizing asana, bandha, pranayama, and visualization (dharanas) all at the same time in order to activate and accelerate the kundalini evolutionary energy through the psychic nerves and chakra system (mudra); and (6) abiding and cultivating consciously the state where dualistic thinking ceases. The immune system is the system of specialized cells and organs that protect an organism from outside biological influences. In a broad sense, almost every organ has a protective function (such as the skin). When the immune system is functioning properly, it protects the body against bacteria and viral infections, destroying cancer cells and foreign substances. If the immune system weakens, its ability to defend the body also weakens, allowing pathogens, including viruses that cause common colds and flu, to grow and flourish in the body.
