On Yoga and Meditation - Aloha from Peggy in Maui Yoga Awareness

The unwatched mind is like a runaway train — it’s very hard to slow down and see clearly. That’s why yoga, including meditation (dhyanam) is so profound and important. It’s training ourself to be aware of the sensations, thoughts, and emotions present in any given situation. Rather than running off in the story of those thoughts or feelings, we see them as ever-changing and watch their fluctuations. Like clouds in the sky. - - According to Patanjali, Yoga Sutra 1.2 yogaścittavṛttinirodhaḥ, "Yoga is the stilling of the fluctuations of the mind". - - Please check out the Maui, Pukalani Yoga class calendar and sign-up here: https://yogaawareness.com/yoga/classes/hawaii/maui-pukalani-makawao-yoga-class
