Brahmacharya - Energy Moderation
The most talked-about interpretation of brahmacharya is celibacy. But you needn’t become a monk to be a good yogi. You can just accept a broader interpretation of this yama. It literally means ‘walking in the way of God. It’s about preventing the dissipation of one’s energy through the misuse of the senses. It’s a personal energy-conservation program—when you practice brahmacharya, you are not letting the senses rule your behavior; you are not urge driven.
Anything that causes turbulence in the mind and stirs the emotions might be seen as a violation of brahmacharya: overstimulating foods, loud music, violent movies, and yes, inappropriate sexual behavior. Whatever disturbs the mind and body disturbs the spiritual life—it’s all one energy. Brahmacharya asks you to consider how you spend it. Look at energy like money in the bank: If you have $100, you don’t want to spend it all right away so that you have nothing left. Become a good energy manager.
Brahmacharya has real applications in physical practice. When you’re working with asana, you need to learn to regulate your effort so that you’re not pushing and forcing, which drains the life force. I’ll put my students in a pose and have them consider what they would have to do—or stop doing—to stay in it for an hour. Almost universally, their faces will relax and their shoulders will drop down, and they’ll find that they put energy into things they didn’t need to. Asana should be replenishing your energy, not draining it.
Experiment with this practice on your mat, then take it into the rest of your life. No matter what’s going on—whether it’s being delayed for your next appointment by a long line at the supermarket, or nervously kissing a new love interest—ask yourself: Can I let go of my tension and relax into this moment?
Notice how the situation doesn’t need your stress to resolve itself. And by not giving so much energy to intense moments—by not squandering your life force—you are more at ease and happier in all moments.
