Can Yoga increase my Intelligence?
There is so much intelligence manifesting everywhere in nature. For the most part it is automatic. We can see complex tasks being performed constantly in the plant and animal kingdoms, not to mention the sustenance of our own complex human bodies. If we take the point of view that intelligence is an infinite reservoir residing within all of creation, then the answer to your question is easy. Yoga opens our nervous system to what lies within us. Here in the lessons we call it inner silence, pure bliss consciousness, the witness, and many other things. It can be called infinite intelligence also -- the very thing that animates all of life. So, can yoga increase intelligence? Theoretically it seems to be so. Not only that, experientially it seems to happen. Over the years, there have been numerous studies on meditation that demonstrate an increase in IQ. The Transcendental Meditation organization has done a lot of work in this kind of research. See www.tm.org for many studies on meditation as it relates to improving the quality of daily life.
