Tatum Girlparts posted:Breathing techniques and meditation. The poses are a means to an end rather than the focus. this is probably why people leave out the bullshit breathing and meditation and just do the stretches cause they actually do something

Corek posted:all he ever talks about in that book are arabs, india's not even in it. boo quote:To speak of Orientalism therefore is to speak mainly, although not exclusively, of a British and French cultural enterprise, a project whose dimensions take in such disparate realms as the imagination itself, the whole of India and the Levant ... a complex array of “Oriental” ideas (Oriental despotism, Oriental splendor, cruelty, sensuality), many Eastern sects, philosophies, and wisdoms domesticated for local European use-the list can be extended more or less indefinitely.

GlennFinito posted:meditation is a real thing with tangible benefits, hth. if you're somewhat crazy or have breathing problems, sure. but just breathing controlled and proper is like 99% of the benefits. it's good to reflect and think, but you can do that without some special meditation pose/dough+oil. "So if I go into the Ganga, my heart will open?" I asked. "Absolutely. You have to experience it," she said. "Ganga is the mother, the feminine cosmic energy. Give the river permission to take away anything you don't need." Girding myself, I slowly wade in. I turn the plastic bag of ashes upside down, pouring the memories into the river and sending them downstream. My loose clothes cling to my skin as I tread further into the cold after tossing the emptied bag by my shoes on shore. I peer up at the mountains and scan the vast sky. As instructed, I send gratitude and love to my parents, my siblings. I don't really know how to pray, but I think that's what I'm doing. ... I breathe in the fresh air, close my eyes, curl into a ball and surrender. The Ganga envelops me as I hold my breath and slip under. The rush of cold water echoes in my ears as I exhale, and everything that is possible begins to take hold. lol it must own to be a male in india. you get to rape dumb tourist women seeking spiritually both in their orifices and wallet over dumb gimmicky poo poo. and then you get to tell them to go wade into poo poo and splash it in their face and they'll do it Xaris fucked around with this message at 01:05 on Jun 8, 2014 |

Xaris posted:"So if I go into the Ganga, my heart will open?" I asked. Dear loving god, anyone who can write that and not instantly vomit in their own mouth is not a mentally aware human being. Edit: not to mention she was loving dumb enough to put her head under that loving festering medical waste dump. Is she going to document her weeks of violent diarrhea, pink eye, and various other poo poo? Cesar Cedeno fucked around with this message at 01:17 on Jun 8, 2014 |

They probably convinced her that getting different body parts groped and smeared with olive oil was part of the traditional indian healing massage. etalian fucked around with this message at 01:52 on Jun 8, 2014 |

Go drink some magical cow piss. Said was a mushy leftie who knew nothing and wrote this book to please his Soviet handlers and his Soviet-leaning family. The book itself is full of anti-white racism and generalisations toward most European cultures.

My sister recently spent several months in India, including a month at an ashram where she did yoga all day every day and said she got certified to be a yoga instructor... which, um, sounds pretty squarely aimed at white tourists, because I somehow doubt that spiritual yogis would be interested in "certifying" American women to teach yoga in the US. She went to Thailand for a while after that, and she's coming home in a few days. I love her, and I'll be happy to see her again, but holy gently caress I am not looking forward to hearing endless stories of her ~amazing experiences~ and poo poo. She won't be nearly as bad as this article, I think, but still uggghhhh

Pobama posted:Is she going to document her weeks of violent diarrhea, pink eye, and various other poo poo? lol obviously not, meant to be an eat pray rape kind of story. i noticed several points where "i arranged with the guards to visit [x]" which is probably euphemism 'gave them a blow job and $100'. although to be fair sounds like the whitest white-washed arranged visit ever so she was prolly ok

i read that yoga basically exists so monks can sit for hours on end without moving, while worshiping their pagan cow and poo poo god. there's nothing spiritual about yoga, it's just a mechanical exercise for convenience

the real problem with india is that as a society it's unwilling to let the feudal/premodern social structure die, both economically and culturally. they give large subsidies to agriculture so their population can continue to be poo poo-bathing, child-raping rednecks living in the sticks
