Primary Essays: The Mind, Mantra and our True Nature
Daily Practice Focal Points Leading Up To Class:
Do 5 minutes of Yoga and/or Pranayama with recordings, or on your own
Sit with Guided Meditations on Mantra
Eventually feel free to do your own mantra practice after you feel you have learned from the recordings
Summary:
Dive into the profound realm beyond the mind with the transformative power of mantra. In the yogic tradition, the mind is regarded as a tool, not the essence of our being. Through the practice of mantra, such as the revered "Om Namah Shivaya," practitioners can quiet the mind's chatter and connect with their inner reality of being, consciousness, and bliss. This journey is deeply personal and requires dedicated practice, leading to a direct experience of the unity that transcends the limitations of the mind.
