For Your Health

“… a CranioSacral massage therapist” … the media coverage … and the “stars”’ mediocrity …
How do they contribute to the common good - misrepresenting, underrepresenting a sophisticated osteopathic approach to human health ?

On Ta**ra, Hata Yoga ,indulgence, liberation and on “if you only practice yoga poses without understanding what they are designed for …” from Simon Andrew Borg-Olivier
Thank you, Simon

When people hear the word Ta**ra, many imagine s*x, drugs, and spiritual rebellion. Neo-Ta**ra ≠ Traditional Ta**ra Traditional Ta**ra has two main branches:� Left-Hand Path (Vāmācāra) and Right-Hand Path (Dakṣiṇācāra) The Left-Hand Path uses the 5 M’s literally: Madya – wine Māṁsa – meat Matsya – fish Mudrā – grain offerings Maithuna – ritual s*x These were used in extreme practices by advanced ascetics (Sādhus) to test their non-attachment, awaken energy, and break social conditioning. But these practices were never meant for everyone. They can disturb the mind and body when misused. The Right-Hand Path (Hatha Yoga / Saptāṅga Yoga) transforms these M's into internal, symbolic practices: Madya → Prāṇa — cultivating inner bliss without substances Māṁsa → Inner discipline — mastery over senses, not flesh Matsya → Conscious nourishment — eating with awareness Mudrā → Energetic seals — like Kechari, Maha, Ashwini etc. Maithuna → Internal union — of Shiva (consciousness) and Shakti (energy) This is where Hatha Yoga comes from and it's not just about stretching and poses, but about inner alchemy rooted in the right-hand Ta***ic path. So no, modern Neo-Ta**ra — focused mostly on s*xuality and pleasure — is not the same as traditional Ta**ra. The original purpose was never indulgence but liberation. Yoga was never meant to be just about stretching or “doing postures” but that's what social media often presents it as. Yoga is a path of internal transformation. �So if you’re only practicing postures without understanding what they were designed to awaken... you might be missing the very essence of yoga. --- IN PERSON TRAINING 📍 November Bangkok 10 Day Immersion / 21-30 November 📍 December Australia Private Dome Workshop / 6-12 December ONLINE TRAINING 🌐 Ongoing 200h Online Teacher Training 🌐 Self-paced online courses also available 🔗 Visit my website for all details.
