She is told that she is actually bearing twins who represent opposing nations, and that "the elder shall serve the younger" (Genesis 25:23).

Yoga: Tradition that predates Hinduism, and emphasizes meditation for self realization.

 (See also: Yoga, Buddhism, Body Mind and Soul)

Yoga:

Literally means 'link' or 'combination'. This word has broad implications and is used in many ways throughout the Vedas and within astrology. Literally means to 'yoke' - to bring together. A system of healing and self-transformation based in wholeness and unity. Primarily, the word yoga refers to the processes employed for reconnecting the soul with its divine origins.

For example, bhakti-yoga means to unite with God through devotion or bhakti. In astrology, yoga refers to various planetary combinations such as: saraswati-yoga - a yoga of planetary positions which indicate that one has the blessings of Goddess Saraswati, the goddess of learning. Yoga in this sense is also one of the five angas or divisions of the Panchanga (the five divisions included within the Indian calendar).

Unfortunately, no word has been profaned so much in modern times as yoga. Fire-walking, acid-swallowing, stopping the heartbeat, etc. pass for yoga when really speaking they have nothing to do with yoga as such. Even psychic powers are not yoga. Yoga is awareness, resulting in transformation of the human consciousness into divine consciousness.

yoga. (a) Union of the individual self or Atma with the Supreme Being or Universal Self; act of yoking. (b) A spiritual discipline or exercise aimed at control of the senses. (c) Science of divine communion. No single definition of the word yoga suffices. Patanjali's Yoga-sutras define yoga as a series of eight spiritual steps leading to union with God.
