Experiences on the yogic path

[ladiesman]

Hi all :)

I have been on the raja yoga path for a while , been studying the sutras and focusing on my sadhana , seeking self-realisation through patanjali's system. I would like to start this thread , asking if any of you guys has experienced many of the things that Patanjali describes as a result of sadhana ( don't worry , nobody has to disclose how many siddhis has got ahahah ;) .

Im from the mindset that when Patanjali is speaking about the eight limbs , he is actually describing what one starts experiencing when threading the path rather than prescribing what one must do in order to become a self-realised yogi. A good example of something that has been happening with me is that since i start intensyfing my sadhana , i have been feeling so much more clean and pure , not only physically but in speech and mind ( it might be related to the conception of saucha as he points out in the 8limbs , i think).. I have reached a stage that I' have been carrying a hand gel in my pocket as a way of making sure that I'm feeling clean during the whole day

What would you guys say about it?

OM Shanti , OM Shanti ;)

I've been sharing my journey on the meditation thread. Today I posted about pranayama exercises https://www.spiritualforums.com/vb/showthread.php?p=1429036 I also have an index to my posts in my signature (below).

What you are doing is the real deal yoga - yoga "union" of self with Self/God. You are not the only one. You may find others like-minded in the Spiritual Development thread also.
