The more complex and "thin" is a device and the organization of the body, the more perfect consciousness may be embodied in it and, accordingly, the higher level functions may be implemented. Everything is very simple. How to interact body and mind can be considered on the metaphor of interaction "iron" and software in the computer.

With different needs and attitudes, everyone pay more attention and more practiced some individual components of a holistic yogic system. Some prefer a simple exercise without paying attention to the mantras; others performed mantra meditation without breath control. Once this separation has led to the ultimate recognition of 22 different schools of yoga. Of the 22 schools it is now widely practiced by less than twelve.
The goal of yoga and other spiritual practices - the release of the great cosmic force, or Kundalini Shakti which "lies curled up in 3, 5 turnover" in the Muladhara chakra. The awakening of this force, or prana, is described in the traditional texts -such as "Flight of birds rises from Earth to Heaven, on a leash of gold thread." Land - is the Muladhara Chakra, Heaven - the Ajna chakra, the bird - mahaprana and golden thread - Sushumna running along the spine.
Managing Prana , Reserves and expanding it into the body, it is possible to awaken sleeping prana shakti. This is the main goal of the yogic sciences Pranayama (increase in the amount of prana in the body) and Prana Vidya (knowledge of prana).
