Prati Prasav is a well known technique practiced by Patanjali

disciples. Interestingly it is never mentioned in Iyengar Yoga. Prati

Prasav is the process of reabsorbing back to the cause, bringing
effect back to the cause; the process of involution. Effects cannot
be solved; they have to be forced back to the cause. Every effect
has to be led back to the cause. Always start by looking at the base
of the asana and correct from the root upwards. Lack of awareness
of the placement of the feet is the right starting point.
'Prasav' means birth ,Prati-prasav means you are again born in the
memory. You don't remember it, you live it, you relive it again.
Patanjali says, 'Clinging to life is the uppermost layer. Go deep;
behind it you will find a layer of repulsion, dwais.' But why are you
repelled? Go deeper and you will find attachment. You are attracted
towards a thing and if you are attracted, only then can you be
repelled. If you are not attracted you cannot be repelled. Attraction
can create a repulsion; repulsion is the other pole of attraction. Go
deeper -- another layer you will find is asmuta, the feeling of ego, 'I
am.' And this 'I' exists through attachment and repulsion. If rag,
dwais, attraction and repulsion both fall, 'I' cannot stand there. 'I'
will fall with it.
knowing the cause, everything is resolved and the cause is lack of
awareness. What is there to do for the yogi ?. Don't fight with your
clinging, don't fight with your attachment and repulsion, don't even
fight with the ego. Become more and more aware, become more
alert, watchful and mindful. Remember more and more and become
alert. The alertness will dissolve everything. Once the cause is
dissolved, the effects disappear. Practicing Yoga with alert ness is
the message. Bringing every effect to the cause and the cause is
always unalertness, unawareness, avidya.
