What is the philosophy of Patanjali's 8 Limb Yoga and as a scientific research philosophy and what is the philosophy of science ...?


What is the philosophy of science and what is the philosophy of Patanjali's 8 limb yoga and how to interoperate these both in terms of science and Yoga experimentation further and also in helping people with healing practices?

Philosophy of Science and Yoga Healing


The philosophy of science studies the foundations, methods, and implications of scientific inquiry, questioning how scientific knowledge is formulated, validated, and understood. "8 lb yoga" appears to refer to using an 8-pound weight (like a grip weight or sandbag) or an 8-pound mat to add resistance, stability, or intensity to a yoga practice.

You can interoperate these two by using the philosophy of science to:

  • Rigorously Evaluate Claims: Apply scientific principles (like evidence-based reasoning and testing hypotheses) to assess the effectiveness and safety of yoga, weighted yoga, and other healing practices. This ensures claims about physical/mental benefits are supported by data.

  • Bridge Understanding: Use the framework of philosophy of science (which considers what constitutes knowledge) to explore how the subjective, experiential knowledge of healing practices (like improved well-being or pain reduction) relates to the objective, measurable data valued by science (like heart rate variability or brain activity).

  • Guide Practice: Encourage the use of salutogenic philosophy in healing—a focus on the processes that support health and healing rather than solely on disease—which can then be subject to scientific inquiry to improve outcomes.

This approach promotes evidence-based healing practices that are both scientifically understood and experientially beneficial for people.

Would you like to know more about the scientific research on weighted yoga or other complementary healing practices?

What is the philosophy of Patanjali's 8 Limb Yoga and as a scientific research philosophy and what is the philosophy of science and how to interoperate these to help people ?


Yoga, Science, and Human Benefit


Patanjali's Eight Limbs of Yoga (Ashtanga) is a practical, philosophical system for achieving Samadhi (absorption/enlightenment). It outlines steps from moral/ethical conduct (Yama and Niyama) to physical practice (Asana and Pranayama), sense withdrawal (Pratyahara), and ultimately concentration/meditation (Dharana, Dhyana, Samadhi).

Patanjali's Philosophy and Scientific Research

As a "scientific research philosophy," the Eight Limbs offer a structured, testable methodology for inner experience:

  • Ethical Foundation (Yama/Niyama): Establishes the necessary controlled variables (moral conduct, discipline) for stable inner conditions.

  • Experimental Controls (Pranayama/Pratyahara): Methods like breath control and sense withdrawal are techniques to isolate and stabilize the mind's function.

  • Empirical Observation (Dharana/Dhyana): The later limbs are direct experiential practices of focused concentration and sustained meditation, which can be viewed as systematic self-observation and inner experimentation leading to verifiable, reproducible mental states.

Philosophy of Science

The Philosophy of Science studies the fundamental nature, assumptions, and implications of scientific inquiry. Key aspects include:

  • Epistemology: How knowledge is acquired (e.g., observation, experimentation, logical inference).

  • Methodology: The rules and procedures (e.g., the scientific method, peer review) used to confirm or falsify theories.

  • Ontology: The nature of reality (what exists) being studied.

Interoperation for Human Benefit

Integrating Patanjali's approach with the philosophy of science creates a powerful framework for human well-being:

  1. Ethics in Research: Yama (non-violence, truthfulness) and Niyama (purity, contentment) provide the moral compass for scientific and technological endeavors, ensuring research is conducted ethically and focused on alleviating suffering, not causing harm.

  2. Rigorous Self-Inquiry: The methodology of the scientific method—systematic observation, hypothesis testing, and critical review—can be applied to the experiential practices of Dharana and Dhyana, leading to a more rigorous, evidence-based understanding of the mind's mechanisms (e.g., in neuroscience and psychology).

  3. Holistic Knowledge: Science often focuses on external, objective reality, while Yoga focuses on internal, subjective experience. Integrating the two means:

    • Science validates the physical/mental benefits of yoga (e.g., reduced stress, brain changes).

    • Yoga provides a practical, time-tested technology for consciousness and ethical living that gives scientific discoveries purpose and direction.

This integration helps people by fostering intellectual rigor (science) while providing the practical tools for inner balance and moral purpose (Yoga), leading to both technological and spiritual advancement.

Would you like me to elaborate on a specific limb of yoga or a concept in the philosophy of science?

Restorative Yoga class on Saturdays (and as we may live to 150 and well beyond:)? 


Dear Annie, Ma/Janie, Alden, Donna, all,

Yoga greetings on a Saturday morning just before 7 am PT, and in exploring holding an online Yoga class at 7 am in the future, but not today since I and the World Univ & Sch Academic Medical Center haven't moved forward yet into the Yoga haven of 670 Ridgecrest Rd Canyon 94516.

How is your hip healing, Annie? How is your knee doing, Alden? Yoga genetics' vaccine thoughts, Donna? And for aging reversal for my mother, Janie, and Alden, and all of us?

Finding one's way into Yoga explorations of one's own (a daily Yoga exploration or 'practice' could be great eg if we live until 150 years of sge or longer with genetic drug therapies for this emerging and FDA approved and to keep our bodyminds open and well and fit and strong as well).

An Angela Farmer video for this to start, and that you might fondly find on your own? 

This collection of 3 Yoga poses initially could be helpful too - https://www.youtube.com/@GentleYogaandWellness - for such an exploration as well. What do you think?

Am inspired to explore the wonderful releasing energies of inner body with you and in Yoga asana as well. Maybe Saturday Nov 8, 2025 at 7 am?

Fond regards, namaste, warmly, Yogically,
Scott

Good morning, Annie, Ma/Janie, Alden, Donna, All, 

Yoga greetings, and happy daylight savings time!

Just filled out this 'Hack for Social Impact - Second Year' 2025 form - 

 next Saturday Nov 8, 2025 from 9am - 7pm in the Mission in SF.

... so I invite you to further Yoga asana explorations on your own (at 7am PT and 10 am ET next Saturday at 7 am PT) possibly with some of the resources I've already shared with you. If you find avatar agents or avatar bots of Yogis Angela Farmer and Victor van Kooten teaching online interactively, please let me know. 

In these regards too, I explored further in some detail about Yoga genetics here in my Sat 11/1/25 Loch Mealt blog post - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2025/10/loch-mealt-isle-of-skye-scotland.html - at bottom.

Namaste, Get well soon, best wishes, Yogically, warm regards, 
Scott

Ma/Janie, Annie, Alden, Donna, Pin, All, 

Yoga greetings. I heard back from the Hack for Social Impact 2025 hackathon on

Saturday, November 8
9:00 AM - Nov 9, 7:00 PM


that I can go, so no Yoga class at 7am PT that day (and I still haven't learned that I can move into a vacant 670 Ridgecrest Rd, Canyon 94516 by this Thursday either).

How to keep the Unitarian U friend of my mother at Longwood senior center too Christine Michaels alive for the long term (150+ years), and with Yoga poses even (and genetic drug therapies for this, when they emerge FDA approved)? My mother said Chris is falling a lot (and see text message to Ma, Pin and Ed below in PS) ... and how could modified standing Yoga poses help Chris from falling and gain strength back? 

But if hypothetically Chris Michaels could attend this Yoga class on Saturdays at 10 am ET, given her weakness, I'd be wary as a Yoga teacher of teaching her  modified standing Yoga poses online or remotely, for example, if she were to fall and I couldn't prevent this or help her with using specific props (Iyengar Yoga-wise).

This leads me to wonder, brainstorming, how to even develop humanoid robot Yoga teachers who could go into people's homes even and teach Yoga and be there physically to prevent falling and injuries too ... eg for living in a fit body to 150 years of age + potentially (since I don't think MDs or PTs or coaches etc could help Chris in Pgh at Longwood for example) ... and brainstorming see also the beginning images here of prospective Yoga student humanoid robots for machine learning Yoga teaching and learning purposes too -

So it's possible that Yoga standing  poses and other Yoga asana and Yoga could help Chris Michaels live to 150 +, with longevity genetic drug therapies too as they emerge, but maybe not with an online Yoga class for Chris ...

Am exploring further teaching a first online Yoga class on Saturday 11/15/25 at 7am PT and 10am PT ... and if I and WUaS have moved into a newly safe vacant 670 Ridgecrest Rd, Canyon 94516.

Ma, do you want to ask Chris if doing Yoga poses could be of help to her? (I don't know of any Yoga teachers in Pittsburgh however who could help her in her place with these however). Search for online Yoga videos for Chris for chair Yoga initially?

Namaste,
Scott






PS
Ma, Pin and Ed, re Yoga & 'UU' Christine Michaels, from England originally, who is falling a lot, at Longwood, and knowing her a bit too,  ... I hypothesized further after we talked on the way back from the swimmers' shower today ... That modified standing Yoga poses, since she uses a walker, daily even with brahmacharya as ' self-restraint, especially with regard to sex' would be of help to her, but I'm not sure how to effect this or get her to do this, eg re her 'consciousness' or thinking even  (eg as a Yoga teacher) Thoughts? Namaste, warm regards, Scott (http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/Yoga ... Do you Yoga meditate too, Pin?:)

Here's one expression of 8 limb yoga, and re poses and brahmacharya too - 


8 limbs of yoga

The eight limbs of yoga, known as Ashtanga Yoga, are a comprehensive framework for yogic practice outlined by the sage Patanjali in the Yoga Sutras. These limbs provide a structured path to self-realization and union with the Divine. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]

The Eight Limbs of Yoga: [9, 10]
  1. Yama (Restraints): Ethical principles governing one's interactions with others, including non-violence (ahimsa), truthfulness (satya), non-stealing (asteya), continence (brahmacharya), and non-attachment (aparigraha). [11, 12]
  2. Niyama (Observances): Ethical principles governing one's inner world, including purity (saucha), contentment (santosha), austerity (tapa), study (svadhyaya), and surrender to God (ishvarapranidhana). [13, 14, 15]
  3. Asana (Postures): Physical postures designed to strengthen and align the body, promoting flexibility, balance, and awareness. [16, 17, 18]
  4. Pranayama (Breath Control): Techniques for regulating the breath, which can cultivate inner calm, focus, and energy. [19, 20, 21]
  5. Pratyahara (Withdrawal of the Senses): Turning inward from external stimuli and focusing on one's own mind. [22, 23]
  6. Dharana (Concentration): Sustaining attention on a single point, such as a mantra, breath, or image. [1, 24, 25]
  7. Dhyana (Meditation): A state of deep absorption and contemplation, where the mind transcends thoughts and limitations. [26, 27, 28]
  8. Samadhi (Union with the Divine): The ultimate goal of yoga, a state of blissful oneness with the universe, where ego dissolves and the individual realizes their true nature. [29, 30, 31]

Can pi crypto be used for fundraising?

Yes, Pi cryptocurrency can be used for fundraising, primarily within its internal, community-driven ecosystem and marketplace. Since the launch of the Pi Network's open mainnet in February 2025, the coin is functional for peer-to-peer (P2P) transactions and within Pi-enabled decentralized applications (dApps) and has been listed on some centralized exchanges. [1, 2, 3, 4]


Here's how it works in the context of fundraising:
  • Within the Pi Ecosystem: Users can create dApps or community initiatives that accept Pi coins for crowdfunding or charitable donations sourced from users' Pi balances. These often happen in localized, community-driven marketplaces and social media groups.
  • External Exchanges: Pi is now tradable on several centralized exchanges (CEXs) like Gate.io, OKX, and MEXC, where it can be exchanged for stablecoins (like USDT) or other cryptocurrencies, which can then be converted to fiat currency. This allows organizations to potentially convert Pi donations into traditional money.
  • Regulatory Framework: Nonprofits can legally accept cryptocurrency donations, as the IRS treats them similarly to stock donations. Companies like The Giving Block exist to help organizations facilitate such donations, though direct support for Pi through these major platforms may still be developing.
  • Caution: Users should be cautious of unofficial platforms or individuals promising high returns or immediate cash conversions outside the verified ecosystem, as these can be associated with scams or fraud. It's recommended to only use trusted exchanges and follow official Pi Network guidance for all transactions. [1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]


In summary, while the network is still in its early stages of mainstream adoption, the infrastructure is in place for Pi to be used in real-world applications, including fundraising, within its community and through external exchanges. [2, 3]

Can pi crypto be converted to money?

Yes, Pi coins can be converted to money, but only through specific channels after migrating to the Pi Network's Open Mainnet. Once migrated, you can sell Pi on centralized cryptocurrency exchanges like OKX and Gate.io, or through peer-to-peer trading for fiat currency or other assets. [1, 2, 3]


Before you can convert
  • Migrate to Mainnet: Before Pi can be traded, you must complete the necessary migration steps in the Pi app. [1, 2]
  • Complete KYC verification: You need to pass the Know Your Customer (KYC) verification process to confirm your account's legitimacy. [2, 4, 5]


How to convert Pi to money
  1. Sell on a crypto exchange: [2]
    • Withdraw Pi from your Pi Network wallet to a centralized exchange that supports Pi, such as OKX, Bitget, or MEXC. [2, 6]
    • Place a sell order for your Pi coins on the exchange. [7]
    • Once the order is filled, you can withdraw the fiat currency to your linked bank account. [7]

  2. Engage in peer-to-peer (P2P) trading: [3]
    • Find other users or merchants who are willing to trade Pi for goods, services, or fiat currency. [3, 8]
    • Be cautious and conduct these trades through secure platforms to avoid fraud. [3]

  3. Spend Pi within the Pi ecosystem: [9, 10]
    • Some businesses within the Pi Network are beginning to accept Pi as a form of payment. [11]
    • A dedicated commerce app is also being developed to connect users with local businesses that accept Pi for goods and services. [11]


What to keep in mind
  • Conversion is not instant: The process can take time depending on the exchange or individual you are trading with. [1, 2, 5, 12]
  • Beware of scams: Be cautious of individuals or platforms that claim to offer instant conversion outside of official channels, as these may be fraudulent. [3, 8]
  • Market volatility: The value of Pi can fluctuate, so the amount of fiat currency you receive will depend on the market rate at the time of the exchange. [1, 2, 13, 14]

How can pi crypto be developed to end poverty among all 7.9 billion people on the planet?

Pi crypto could theoretically help end poverty by enabling financial inclusion for the unbanked through its mobile-based mining, creating a decentralized ecosystem for transactions, and using its large user base to foster a new peer-to-peer economy. However, ending poverty is an extremely complex issue that Pi crypto cannot solve on its own; its success would rely heavily on factors like widespread Pi adoption, significant long-term price appreciation, the creation of a stable ecosystem, and integration with real-world goods and services, while also needing to address challenges like the digital divide and lack of infrastructure in many impoverished areas. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]

Potential benefits of Pi Network for poverty alleviation
  • Financial Inclusion: Pi's accessibility via mobile phones allows people who lack formal bank accounts to participate in the digital economy. This can provide a secure digital alternative to cash for unbanked populations, especially in developing regions where smartphone access is far greater than bank account access.
  • Decentralized Economy: The network's goal is to create a decentralized ecosystem where users can use Pi for everyday transactions, acting as a peer-to-peer marketplace and providing a functional, everyday currency for exchanging goods and services.
  • Broad User Base: The large, global user base of "Pioneers" is a significant asset for building a robust ecosystem and creating a large market for Pi-based applications and services.
  • Inclusivity in Distribution: Pi's mining mechanism, which started by giving higher rewards to early adopters and has a mechanism to decrease rewards over time, was designed to be inclusive, preventing excessive wealth concentration in the hands of early users. [1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 9]

Significant challenges and limitations
  • Requires Real-World Value: The value of Pi crypto in ending poverty is entirely dependent on the price of the coin. Without a stable and significant value, it cannot be used as a meaningful store of wealth or a medium of exchange for essential goods.
  • Lack of Infrastructure: Many of the world's poorest populations lack reliable internet access and electricity, which are essential for consistent participation in any digital currency network.
  • Need for Ecosystem Development: The Pi Network is still in its early stages and requires a vast amount of development and adoption from businesses and users to create a fully functional ecosystem that provides real-world utility beyond the current mining and testing phases.
  • Digital and Regulatory Hurdles: Even with a functional app, people may lack the necessary documentation or stable income to open bank accounts or participate fully in financial systems.
  • Speculation vs. Utility: The success of a cryptocurrency is often tied to its potential for speculative investment rather than its use as a functional currency. This could limit its effectiveness in a sustained effort to reduce poverty. [1, 3, 4, 6, 10]

Conclusion

While Pi's mobile-first approach and focus on financial inclusion offer a potential pathway to democratizing digital currency access, it is not a singular solution for eradicating poverty. Ending poverty requires a multifaceted approach that includes economic development, social programs, and government support. Pi crypto's role would be limited to being one tool that could help, provided it can achieve widespread adoption and build a stable, valuable, and accessible ecosystem that addresses the unique challenges faced by impoverished communities worldwide. [1, 4, 6, 11, 12]

In World University and School WUaS seeking to code for all 7.9 billion people on the planet and to end poverty from here - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/You_at_World_University, and with a  WUaS partnering email from Pi cryptocurrency Network, how best can WUaS end poverty for, say the poorest billion people, and in seeking to distribute PI to all ?


"A strategy to help the poorest billion people could involve World University and School (WUaS) combining educational opportunities with the distribution of Pi cryptocurrency. WUaS could use its "coding for all" initiative to build utility for the Pi token, which could then be distributed as Universal Basic Income or micro-loans, while educational programs address skills gaps and financial literacy needed for successful adoption.
