Huston Smith Quote
Raja yoga with asanas (poses and breathing) is a way of leading the inquirer to direct personal experience of the beyond that is within. Its method is willed introversion, one of the classic implements of creative genius in any line of endeavor. Its intent is to drive the psychic energy of the self to its deepest part to activate the last continent of the true self
