spirit (purusha), this trend is a trend as selfish: it aspired to the "fruit". That is, a profit.
Always unlike psychoanalysis, Yoga believes that the subconscious can be overcome by
sufficient asceticism and even conquered, I-dents, the technique of unification of the
states of consciousness, of which we'll talk soon. Experience parapsicolo-logical and
psychological East Yoga in general and in particular the more ex-lying and better
organized than the experience in which Western theories are based on the structure of the
psyche, it is likely therefore that, to this point , yoga is right, and the subconscious,
paradoxically, can be known, dominated and conquered.
CHAPTER II THE TECHNIQUES OF AUTONOMY
THE CONCENTRATION IN ONE ITEM "
The starting point of yoga meditation is the concentration on one object, it can be,
indifferently, a physical object (the eyebrows, the tip of the nose, a luminous object,
etc..), A pen-cessing (some metaphysical truth) or God (Isvara). This concentration
continued strong ekagrata called ( "one point"), and obtained by the integration of the
flow psychomental (sar-varthata, multilateral attention, discontinuous and diffuse, Yoga-
Sutra, III, 11) . It is the very definition of the technique Yogi Yogah cittavrttiniro-Dhaher
(YS, I, 1).
The ekagrata, or concentration on one point, as a result has immediate censorship lucida
prompt and all the distractions and mental automatism and truly do dominate the secular
consciousness. Dropped to the determination of the organizations (themselves produced

in-defined and messy, fueled by the feelings, words
and memory. Yogi's first duty is to think, or not to be thinking. That's why yoga practice
begins with obstructing the river ekagrata mental and thereby constitute a "psychic
block," a strong and unified continuum.
Ekagrata exercising tends to control both the flow generating mental sensory activity
(indriya) and the subconscious-sufficient (samskara). Control is the ability to intervene at
will and the immediately in the operation of these two sources of "whirlwind" mental
(cittavritti). A yogi can get how-do like the discontinuity of consciousness, in other
words, can provoke-anytime, anywhere recognize her "treachery of his attention in a"
single point "and become unresponsive to any sensory stimulus or mnemonic. Ekapleasing
thanks to a genuine commitment is obtained, ie the power to govern freely to an
important sector of activity biomental. The eka-grata, in itself, but can not be done by
running numerous exercises and techniques that physiology has a crucial role. We could
not reach the ekagrata if, for example, the body takes a tiring or just uncomfortable, nor
whether this disorganized breaths, arrhythmic. That's why Yogi technique, according to
