Chris SmithYoga, Asana's and Kriya's put us in an appropriate physical space. Meditation allows us to be aware. To make meditation easier, we use Mudra's, Mantra's as well as eye focus. All of these tools contribute to allowing your conscious mind to be activated while allowing you to see subconscious mind. Essentially being consciously conscious. This is exactly what you want to happen. I often tell students, anxiety and stress are results of the subconscious images that we are not paying attention too. Too often we respond to that stress and anxiety with more conscious mind activities (like TV watching, eating more food, etc.) rather than meditating and see what our mind is really trying to bring up. "Observing" those subconscious thoughts helps take away some of the "stress" and "fear" that those thoughts are generating. Once that happens we have a broader perspective on life and see things as they truly are and will generally be more optimistic and happy.
devaPriya Yogini ~All this suggestion to just listen and witness is not yoga. Yoga requires restraint and discipline. There is no getting up over the mind without controlling it. It may seem easier to the kundalini life force (mind and emotions), to just let the mind go where it will, but this just keeps the observing core-self is a state of submission. The core self must emerge from its hide out and take control of its situation. And if what you are doing is called Yoga, then restraint and discipline are unavoidable. If you want to just continue being an observer in this creation, the new agers will tell you you are on the right track, but not so with yoga, the criteria are way different.
