Satisfaire toutes les parties

La recherche de satisfaction est au cœur du processus évolutif. Pourtant, tournée vers l’extérieur, cette quête a ses limites. Les yogis enseignent que même quand les ressources externes permettent de satisfaire le désir, un autre désir succède ou une peur se dessine, relative à la fin de la satisfaction du premier désir.

Alors devrait-on plutôt désirer ne plus avoir de désir (Yogi Bhajan). Ou distinguer clairement le désir, de l’aspiration (yoga classique) ; l’aspiration est, en somme, un désir d’élévation vers un plus haut idéal d’harmonie et de réalisation. Il s’agit d’un chemin d’une relative austérité où l’on apprend à se consacrer à son idéal, s’observer, discerner et se détacher de tout ce qui nous en éloigne. Une austérité que les Anciens promettent cependant garante d’un bonheur proportionnel.

Comment engager les différentes parties du corps, et les différents corps (physique, vital, mental, intellectuel et spirituel) sur ce chemin « aspirationnel », sans créer d’avantage de déséquilibre dans nos vies, voire de rupture intérieure – qui aboutirait inévitablement  à plus de souffrance, de mémoires encombrantes et de réactions avides d’attention ? L’ancienne tradition du yoga est un art scientifique précis, offrant un système complet d’outils, destiné à cet accomplissement progressif et diffus de notre plus grande satisfaction.

Les véritables pratiques intégrales de vie, comme la tradition originelle du yoga ou celles de certains peuples premiers, sont les racines profondes de l’évolution ; elles libèrent des forces incommensurables en transformant les individus, d’éléments « absorbeurs » en éléments indéfiniment rayonnants. De tels individus servent visiblement la pérennité des organisations auxquels ils appartiennent, leurs communautés, leurs écosystèmes, et notamment la survie de notre organisme commun, la Terre.

Corporate Tantra!

Corporate Tantra is a wise and macro worldview of corporate relation based upon the statement: « all parties are to be satisfied to get the best results of our partnership », all parties being:

• all shareholders
• staff, mind and body,
• the Earth and all its realms
• masculine, rational, analytic force and feminine, intuitive, geometric power
• ...

TANTRA has longtime been veiled because it was going against the established rules of the Brahman. It has been reveled again by people like Harbhajan Singh, challenging all the rules he had been trained to, on behalf of his level of sensibility saying that "there were nothing to lose in this end of KALI YUGA" (KALI YUGA referring to times of dramatic conflicts and strain threatening humanity survivance).

Traditionally, tantric practices « interlock the psyche of the partners » to confront and uplift them. For instance, if you really want to partner consciously with the Earth and do true sustainable development, you may not sleep anymore as your psyche becomes saturated and hurt by mother Earth crying spirit…: you merge into confrontation with the depth of Her reality untill you find a way out. In a same desperate emotional comedy, employees are locked in the game with their boss, always asking for « more », even before the boss may think giving them « less ». Or we have the general common mechanism of creating intimate relationships upon the following behaviors: men running the race and women seducing, even if not consciously. Etc. Tantra is actually an obrigatory game of the Creation: we are all called to play with our polarities; the fact is that our psyche may remain trapped in its confrontation with the situation of Life, if no Mahan Tantric (tantric master) supervises it and channels it back out of its experience when needed.

Yoga practice has that role of Mahan Tantric: it makes you step out of the game to see if this is really valuable to keep up playing it the way you play it, however making you aware that quitting it definitely might not be the way to resolve it, neither actually something truely possible. It might give you new ideas to project your future... After 4 years of private yoga lessons, one of my students recently told me: “ I feel that I can do some things I couldn’t have done a few years ago. I mean about consciousness… About being present… For instance, in my organization, not seducing neither storming… It is about being silent actually.” JF says he is confronted to very difficult situations of management and that he learnt to let go so that he could step into a new chapter of action in his life. “It becomes clear that I have to quit my post now. There are so many simple things I don’t know how to do: buying a car, a grey card, using a computer, cooking… I have only given orders to others during all my life. I have much to learn now.” 

If JF's case is flowing and evolutive regarding his personal referential, it may be seen as a case of rupture from his corporation point of view. It is to limit such unavoidable cases of rupture and to support continuity in all the nets of social activity that TARA Yoga Partner campaings for Corporate Yoga, so that we all keep up with the confrontation game and find together the keys of its upliftment.
