Book Description
'The wall' seems to be a metaphorical dead end on the spiritual way; however, we can interpret this metaphor literally. When a disciple is forced to interact with himself, he finds himself in front of a blind wall without his teacher, besides the wall becomes the dependable means for reflection. Actually, there is nobody outside you, if your Self is all-inclusive. Extremity is similar to inspiration; and after a brief irresolution you ask an inevitable question: how to work with the wall which blocked your path? Hatha Yoga is profoundly symbolical like any practice rooted in mystical Tantrism. In order to get outside of 'the wall' in the general sense, you should approach a real wall. . . And as a simplest solution you can practice yoga 'with the support of a wall'. Nevertheless the situation is not completed in the same way, since the wall extricates from a block to vertical, establish new dimension for life and practice.
