Energy laws and logic
The laws of the physical universe were very gradually comprehended throughout all of history.
At first, man tried to explain what he saw through his own invention, trying to adjust the facts to this imaginary cosmic architecture.
When technological advances permitted us to amplify the field of the perceived universe, scientists began to formulate laws that explained many of the phenomena of the macro and microcosms. These new laws, based on reason and mathematics, seemed to be omnipotent in explaining everything for a time, exactly up to the discovery of certain physical phenomena that boldly defied logic, like Quantum Theory.
Currently, physicists are divided into two large groups: those that think everything can be explained through logic and math (and, as such, be comprehended by the brain), and those that think we are discovering a universe that is only logical up to a certain point, behind which a mysterious field expands.
This field seems illogical and paradoxical to the brain, and can not be comprehended by reasoning. If this is happening in the physical field, we can imagine how complicated things may be in the energetic or subtle universe, which involves the mind. The affirmation that "people that come together to meditate generate much more energy than when they are alone" does not seem at all logical to rational people. And much less if "two people can be together energetically even if they are separated by great distances." Any person who is strictly attached to physical facts, will discard these sayings as just more pre-scientific ramblings. Nonetheless, affirmations like these are different from imaginary structures: they can be proven using scientific methods. Even if the existence of subtle energies can not yet be directly proven in a laboratory, it's effects can.
The idea of subtle energy fields is infinitely more "illogical" and "paradoxical" than a quantum universe, for example. Nevertheless, it is an overwhelming reality for those that can directly perceive it and - especially for everyone else – those who have proven it through scientific experiments, but these only capture the exterior, its outer shell.
The emotional states of happiness, clarity, creativity, and magic can not be translated into scientific formulas, and when one finds himself in these states, proof of this kind is something completely superfluous.
The most important thing about the Global Wave of Energy is that through the use of its subtle laws, the human mind and its general state of energy can be transformed. This will come accompanied by a multitude of strange phenomena, of course, but that is not what matters; what matters is the intervention of the cosmic order here on earth.

Sleeping during the Global Wave of Meditation
Absorbing the energy radiated during the Global Wave can be done through a profound relaxation during which, if we are asleep, is much better. The theosophists made themselves sleep during Wesak, in order to travel in their astral bodies to the Himalayas, and those that didn't know how to do this simply tried to sleep in order to capture some of the abundant energy freed during the ceremony. Sleeping with a predisposed, determined mind is completely different than "taking a nap"; in any case, it is something that one can and should experience for himself.
Technique
There are 3 steps:
It's good to do various experiments, like doing the same thing outside of the Global Wave schedule, or simply comparing these states with those of normal relaxation during the Global Wave.
All of this is part of the process of learning about subtle energies.
Technique
There are 3 steps:
- Become relaxed, as always.
- Then, after reaching total relaxation, decide, internally, that in the event you should fall asleep, your body will be receptive to the subtle energies radiated by global meditation. This decision can take the form of "orders" given to the physical body, an entity which is separate from you. You should speak to your body like you would speak to a child. In esoterism, this is known as "the physical element."
- When you have finished with relaxation and guiding your body, try to sleep.
This alone is sufficient.

Styles of Yoga and the Global Wave
The various styles (or schools) of Yoga are different precisely because they have other objectives besides the basic one which is union with the absolute, common to anything that is considered "Yoga." As such, we have at one extreme the "gymnastics" schools, which are just a mixing of contortionism and stretching, with a bit of respiratory and relaxation exercises. In these styles - which call themselves "yoga" but are not truly yoga - importance is given to physical achievements, completely tossing aside the psychological-energetic ingredients.
On the other hand, at the other extreme are the "mystical" Yoga schools, which we're also not quite sure should truly be called Yoga schools, since they are belief systems that lack any type of physical practices more than a vegetarian diet and a few other restrictions, perhaps with mantras, chants, and studies. In these schools, the physical achievements of Yoga are completely unnecessary, and the only thing that matters are "spiritual" achievements. These currents usually feed into closed sects.
Between these two extremes there exists a large variety of Yoga styles, with more or less importance given to the physical aspects (Hatha Yoga), and the truly spiritual (Raja Yoga, with its truest expressions being the original Buddhism and the teachings of Krishnamurti). We have, for example, excellence in the physical practices of Yoga, which are styles derived from Krishnamacharya, specially the Desikachar style. That style was practiced - and recommended - by Krishnamurti, after a bad experience with another Krishnamacharya disciple, B.K.S. Iyengar.
Krishnamacharya learned this type of Yoga from a hermetic master in the Himalayas, Ramamohana, who sent him out to diffuse it in the world at the beginning of the 20th century. This style of Yoga and its right derivatives are, according to our point of view, the best ones, and we also highly recommend their practice.
Cosmic Yoga is based on the exercises of this style of Hatha Yoga, having extracted other elements, especially those of Tai Chi. It has also integrated our current knowledge of Galactic Astrology.
Cosmic Yoga places all its emphasis on the creation of an intense subtle energy state in the smallest amount of time, adapting itself to different comogenic tendencies. In other words, its a system that is most convenient for westerners, who are always short on time, and in general have very little experience with subtle energies. In Cosmic Yoga, that which is energetic takes precedence over that which is physical.
We will always recommend the styles derived from Krishnamacharya, Desikachar, A.G. Mohan, Ramaswami, Poornananda and his disciple, Gautama.
We don't recommend the Ashtanga, Iyengar styles by having an excessively athletic, even violent, spirit.
