Physics~Metaphysics of Tantra Yoga - the word Tantra means cosmic braid or weave. An excellent example of this is the interwoven relationship of circulation and respiration called Breathing (it forms an octave; infinity symbol; astanga yoga; 8-fold way). |

Breathing is Living Union. Breathing as Living Relationship is the energy~flow that is the Source, Sustainer, and Substance of Life. In other words the OneSubstance of Being is a Living Substance.
Breathing is the link, the interface, between your bodymind (your subconscious mind - the infinite-invisible) and your mindbody (your conscious mind - the definite-visible). Breathing is more subtle than your body and more gross than your mind.
For you breathing may only be a subconscious process. You do not really have to think about breathing because you have learned to allow the infinite-invisible intelligence of your bodymind to take care of it for you. Yet you also know that you can connect and somewhat regulate this subconscious process simply by becoming conscious of your breathing. The practice of conscious breathing establishes new pathways and patterns that gives you access to other aspects of the intelligence of your subconscious realm. Thus you learn a means of communication whereby you are empowered to connect, direct, and realize aspects of your being that otherwise are beyond the scope of your conscious mind. |

Your hand opens and closes and opens and closes. If it were always a fist or always stretched open, you would be paralyzed. Your deepest presence is in every small contracting and expanding, the two as beautifully balanced and coordinated as bird wings. ~ Rumi |

Being is an Integrated Binary Unit. The primary structure is an energy wave with inverse and reverse extremes; the localized focus on an individual wave causes it to appear as definite and separate, yet it has smaller waves embedded within it and the localized wave itself is embedded within infinitely larger waves. Thus the relationship is simultaneously simple-definite as the extremes of an individual wave, and, tremendously complex and infinite as the inter-dependent wave relationship of infinitely smaller and larger waves. Plateaus or levels of this definite-simplicity and infinite-complexity are seen as octaves and their scales (most commonly seen as seven plus one overlapping link as in the octaves of music, days of a week, seven primary colours and white light, chakras etc.).
This means that everything is composed of energetic waves and that the spirit-nature of the Living UniVerse is reflected in energetic waves that cover the entire spectrum of Being. The most obvious and most easily observable living wave is the 'visible' wave of Breathing because its manifestation is within the natural range of human sensing.
This doesn't deny the value of using optical aids such as microscopes and telescopes to view waves because these instruments confirm that all waves may be viewed as smaller and larger holograms of the 'visible' standing wave of Breathing. This understanding is akin to the higher and lower waves of the electo-magnetic spectrum relative to the 'visible' spectrum.
The smallest waves are the waves seen at the atomic-subatomic level as complimentary atomic-subatomic particles and their vibrations. The larger waves are seen in the spiral arms of galaxies and the larger wave vibrations. And the largest wave is the Living Relationship of Cosmos and Chaos where the realm of the very small and the realm of the very large are OneSubstance as the extremes of an energy wave; this is the Integrated Binary Unit called the Uni-Verse.
Within the smallest and largest extremes the appearance of energy waves as material substance (all matter) is the result of orderly motion as energy-in-formation; this is commonly called Cosmos (order), and, space is what is commonly called Chaos (disorder or energy-matter that is outside the natural range of human sensing).
As stated above the Breathing Waves of Being are akin to the scale of the electro-magnetic spectrum that has been well documented by physicists - here is an illustration. Note that although only a small section as certain wavelengths are 'visible' to human sense doors, the living wave structure throughout the spectrum is the same - the difference is scales of magnitude as the difference is one of dimensions, not of essence.

Breathing
is the Link between:
This Living Relationship is Current (the Definite) as the Current Moment and it is the Current of its flow (the Infinite). Just as a second is holographically embedded in all measures of time, Breathing is the fundamental building block and measure of Your Life as Breath is Life (note that the word spirit literally means to breathe).
Your Body-Mind is an interwoven whole. Stretch
Your Body - Stretch Your Mind
You live in two worlds at once where you are always Creating
Understand and Align Your Energies with the Laws of the Living UniVerse whereby it has No Choice other than to Happily Give You What You Want!
The Dancer is the Dance - The Creator is the Creation The Dance is the Dancer - The Creation is the Creator The OneSubstance of the Creator and the Creation is Energy (FLOW).

Core Relationship: the Power Yoga 2 of Seeing the living union of your mind and your body as the whole (Space~Flow) that is exponentially greater than the sum of its parts.
It is the living understanding of how and whereby the inner world of your conscious mind and the outer world of your subconscious mind are the extremes of the formation or yogic union as One Integrated Reality called your Life. |
Yoga 2

Living Relationship
Yoga2 is as simple as Breathing and it is as complicated as Life.
You are simultaneously Definite and Infinite.
definite and infinite = a hologram infinite and definite = a standing wave The OneSubstance of the Living UniVerse is Energy (FLOW). Energy can never be created or destroyed - only trans-formed.
Breathing is the fundamental building block of life energy (it is a living octave). The same structure that is seen in the living process called breathing is seen on the microcosmic level in the information molecule of life that scientists call your DNA; it is seen on the macrocosmic level in the structure of double spiral galaxies like our Milky Way; it is seen on the mesocosmic level as diverse life forms created through the inter-dependent relationship dance of the microcosmic and macrocosmic extremes.

Life is tremendously complex, yet you can begin to simply it by seeing that it has a very definite structure that you are directly connected with through your Breathing - Breath is Life.
The fourfold flow of your breathing as respiration:
|
1)
transition pause
|
2)
inhalation
|
3)
transition pause
|
4)
exhalation
|
is interwoven with your breathing as circulation;
|
1)
heartbeat pause
|
2)
heartbeat
arterial flow |
3)
heartbeat pause
|
4)
heartbeat
venous flow |
and mirrored in a day in your life as:
|
1)
awakening |
2)
awake |
3)
falling asleep |
4)
sleep |
and the seasons of a year; the seasons of your life as:
|
1)
spring
|
2)
summer
|
3)
autumn
|
4)
winter
|
Ancient yogis said that the UniVerse cycles through these same four yugas (ages).
