Sun Salutation is a prayer in motion. Without its focusing of mental energies,
It allows us to use the body as an instrument of higher awareness, so that we can receive wisdom and knowledge. (Shiva Samhita, II.1-3)
The outer sun, they asserted, is, in reality, a token of our own “inner sun,”
which corresponds to our subtle, or spiritual, heart. Here is the seat of consciousness and higher wisdom. It is the prayer of Lord Surya, the god of health.
