Description

Rabbi Haber, enlightens us on the comparison of the anatomy of the human spinal cord and the human vertebrae with the Kundalini yoga method of energizing the body. Do we tap in to Kedusha or do we tap in to Tuma? Rav Haber connects the 18 vertebrae of the spine (and the 18 major nerves emanating from the spinal cord) and the 18 Brachot of the Shmona Esrei with the configuration of the Beit HaMikdash. He elaborates on the difference between Yoga which is Kosher and acceptable for Jews, and Yoga which is not Kosher. It's our function to bring energy down from Shamayim rather than bringing it up from the earth.
