The Science of Hatha Yoga Dan Siegel: Mind uses the brain to change itself. Norman Doidge: Neuroplasticity allows the brain to adapt its cells to a variety of possible functions. Rodolfo Llinas: The evolution from a single cell to multicellularity required the capacity for many cells to function as a singular organism or self. The nervous system learned to generate timing waves to synchronize cellular activity around a singular purpose. Itzhak Bentov: Sounds give shape to matter. Arthur Kilmurray: Hatha yoga poses, operating in the world of sound, may induce and sustain mandalas of neurological activity in the brain as the deeper connective tissue structures integrate their activity with the organic systems. Erich Blechschmidt: Embryological growth unfolds as developmental movements unfolding in biodynamic metabolic fields. Body systems to not exist in reality. It is impossible to tell where one ends and another begins. The body only functions as a whole, from conception to death. Dan Siegel: The self organizing of the infant requires an attachment resonating relationship with a primary care giver(s) to actualize the inherent possibilities of deepening self regulation and self-organization. Hubert Goddard: Co-arising with the infants attachment relationships is the emerging relationship with gravity, the Big Mother, to create an organic core of stability, mobility and strength. This emerges as the activation of the gravity response system and the development of tonic function. Arthur Kilmurray: Postures arise as states and over time can become become traits (more stable patterns). Posture may or may not be resonant with the integral actions of the cellular and organic bodies, as dissociated psychological structures can arise and immediately affect posture. Peter Levine: Resourced states have stability and coherence and are used to transform the energetic patterns of dysfunctional states. Arthur Kilmurray: Yoga poses offer the possibility of transforming the energies of dysfunctional postural traits, which carry a large autonomic charge, into states of deepening integration and coherence. Dan Siegel: (from DM pg 217) Within an individual living being, a driving force of development is the movement from simplicity toward complexity. ...Rather than viewing children as having stepwise increments in in their abilities, we can view development as the emergence of patterns of increasingly complex interactions between children and their environment. Arthur Kilmurray: Interactions with the environment involve embodied mind-states moving in time. Posture is an ongoing state of orienting to the moment and preparing for possible interactions. This process of preparation includes selective orientation to sensory modalities such as sound, smell and sight and the mobilizing of psychological and emotional energies that will be used in either impeling the body through space, or organizing and working with objects in the immediate environment, such as running my fingers over the keyboard as I sit at my desk.
