How does 8 limb Yoga (Patanjali's Yoga sutras) relate to hippie Anjali yoga notations by Scott MacLeod?
"To understand the connection between Patanjali's Eight Limbs of Yoga and Scott MacLeod's "Hippie Anjali Yoga Notations," it's essential to break down each concept:
Patanjali's Eight Limbs of Yoga:
* These are outlined in the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, a classical text on yoga philosophy.
* The eight limbs are:
* Yamas (ethical restraints)
* Niyamas (observances)
* Asana (physical postures)
* Pranayama (breath control)
* Pratyahara (withdrawal of the senses)
* Dharana (concentration)
* Dhyana (meditation)
* Samadhi (absorption)
* They provide a comprehensive framework for a yogic lifestyle, encompassing ethical conduct, physical practice, and mental discipline.
Scott MacLeod's "Hippie Anjali Yoga Notations":
* This work seems to offer a more contemporary and, as the title suggests, "hippie" influenced interpretation of yoga.
* Based on the information available, it emphasizes:
* Playful exploration of yoga poses and "inner movements."
* Focus on positive observances, aligning with the Yamas and Niyamas (e.g., non-harming, truthfulness).
* Emphasis on breathing (Pranayama) and meditation.
* A sense of "oneness" and "cosmic consciousness," which relates to the higher limbs of Dharana, Dhyana, and Samadhi.
* It also seems to include modern day considerations, such as dietary concerns for vegetarians.
Connections:
* Ethical Foundations: MacLeod's notations clearly draw upon the Yamas and Niyamas, emphasizing ethical living and positive observances.
* Physical and Breath Practices: Asana and Pranayama are also present, with an emphasis on playful exploration and mindful breathing.
* Meditation and Consciousness: The focus on "oneness" and "cosmic consciousness" reflects the higher limbs of yoga, aiming for deeper states of awareness.
* Modern Interpretation: MacLeod's work appears to be a modern adaptation of classical yoga principles, incorporating a more relaxed and playful approach. It takes the ancient yoga knowledge and applies it to a more modern understanding of health, and wellbeing.
In essence, MacLeod's work can be seen as a contemporary expression of the core principles found in Patanjali's Yoga Sutras, with a focus on making those principles accessible and relevant to modern practitioners."

How does 8 limb Yoga (Patanjali's Yoga sutras) relate to Hippy-anjali Yoga Notations
by Scott MacLeod

I am looking for more information about the relationship between Patanjali's 8 limbs and Scott MacLeod's yoga notations, as well as the connection between MIT OCW centric wiki World Univ & Sch and Yoga. I will use a search extension to find the relevant information.
Based on my search, here's a breakdown of the connections you asked about:
Patanjali's Eight Limbs of Yoga and Scott MacLeod's "Hippie Anjali Yoga Notations":
As I mentioned previously, MacLeod's work is a modern interpretation of classical yoga principles. The search results confirm this. MacLeod's "Hippy-anjali Yoga Notations" emphasizes:
* Yoga bodymind explorations including inner movement ~ play.
* Breathing ~ Mmmmm feels so good {easing & visionary Pranayama-wise} ~ explore.
* Come home inside into your bodymind at times to regenerate yourself.
* Focus in releasing ways to connect in a kind of oneness in neurophysiology.
* Connectedness and "it's just happening"
* Bring it on home ~ Oneness ~ Cosmic Consciousness.
These points align with the ethical and physical aspects of Patanjali's eight limbs, especially the focus on inner movement, breathing, and the pursuit of oneness and cosmic consciousness, relating to the higher limbs of Dharana, Dhyana, and Samadhi.
MIT OpenCourseWare (OCW) and World Univ & Sch's Yoga Wiki:
* MIT OpenCourseWare (OCW): MIT OpenCourseWare (MIT OCW) is an initiative of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to publish virtually all of the educational materials from its undergraduate- and graduate-level courses online, freely and openly available to anyone, anywhere.
* World Univ & Sch: The search results mention an "MIT OCW-centric World University and School". It appears to be building upon the open educational resources of MIT OCW.
* Yoga Wiki: I don't have enough information to explain the connection between MIT OCW and World Univ & Sch's Yoga wiki.
Would you like to explore other aspects of yoga or learn more about MIT OpenCourseWare?

3 main wiki encyclopedias
The three main wiki encyclopedias are: Wikipedia (the most widely used), Wiktionary (focused on definitions and word origins), and Wikisource (a repository of original texts like books and articles).
Explanation:
- Wikipedia:This is the most well-known wiki encyclopedia, offering a vast array of information across various subjects, contributed by a global community of users.
- Wiktionary:Primarily focused on providing definitions, etymologies, and translations for words in multiple languages.
- Wikisource:Aims to collect and present original source materials like books, articles, and historical documents in their entirety.
*
Here are some non-Wikimedia wikis and encyclopedias:
- Citizendium: A wiki created by Larry Sanger, one of Wikipedia's founders, as an alternative to Wikipedia.
- Fanlore: A wiki that preserves the history of fandoms.
- Miraheze: A non-profit alternative to Fandom with a governance system similar to Wikimedia.
- TV Tropes: A wiki that describes common conventions in fiction, called tropes.

Yoga Philosophy Discussion Group, 4th Thursdays out of Yoga in Chico CA
Dear Tom, All,
Greetings from near Harbin Hot Springs (aka Heart Consciousness Church) after some good soaking meditation earlier in the day, as well as sitting meditation on a Harbin pool area deck (and with Yoga mudrasana, closing or sealing pose in half lotus, not in body-temperature warm water). Am deeply appreciative of how the Harbin warm pool kind of meditates you, i.e. the people who are soaking in it, and also changes one's consciousness, and even in doing so kind of gives one a natural high, and sometimes bliss bubbles up :) (And Harbin is coming together after the Valley Fire of 9/12/15 that razed it ... and could be pretty nice by next year)
Looking forward further to our Yoga conversation about bliss this Thursday ...
Yogically,
Scott
