It is said that the great masters have had the lighting sitting (on the ground and then cross-legged) who under a tree (Buddha) who in the desert (Jesus), who on the one hand and those on the other.


Finally, modern medicine, a young science in terms of human beings, seems to have understood that the supine position is not the most appropriate position to give birth: in fact, according squatting - and then with a straight back - you can also make use of gravity over that Apana, the Prana (vital force) subsidiary in specific thrust down.

Even I. Newton, when he had the brilliant idea to theorize the force of gravity, seems to have been sitting under a tree.

But this is not the place or the tree of which I want to draw attention to or better: if we see the tree as that living organism that channels the cosmic Prana to make it available on earth - and then to living beings - then here we we the spine that summarizes the same functions as a microcosmic level.

But in reality, the one on which I want to bring the focus is that what distinguishes us from the beasts brothers is just the vertical, the ability to stand and do as intermediary between heaven and earth. That's when we realize this in practice is achieving at least the size of the Human.

Among other things a Human Being produced leaves the body being in perfect position sitting cross-legged and no support other than his own vertebrae.

So it is with your back straight and mail between heaven and earth that we realize it or leave the body. So did several masters of tantra, which are Shaiva, or Buddhists, etc. ... A great teacher is free to leave the body in the perfect position, or being blessed Siddhi asanas.

It is not that when we are on earth, we go down with his head toward the earth - if the mother takes a natural position - and that when we leave the earth, the natural position is to stand with his head towards the sky? Descend and ascend!

I know that the body is only the body, but tantra is pure alchemy and the world began tantra has always studied the matter, energy and consciousness! And if you reach the Mahasamadhi (leaving the body in the great and final "meditation"), which is a practice implemented by the spiritual masters, those who have dedicated their lives to transcend the subtle dimensions of human consciousness, was the most healthy and natural to leave the body in the fullness of the human faculties?

The practice ... only the practice; forge in the fire of practice is the only way ... the rest are just speculations or ideas.
