Patanjali says that Asana (a meditation posture) is what is steady, comfortable for you. It could be any posture. But the interesting thing is when you start experimenting with your body postures, you will find out that for longer sittings, only a handful of postures that are variations of lotus posture are appropriate. Try it out for yourself. Then he says, by practising restfulness and by meditating on the infinite, a meditation posture is mastered. Once that happens, all dualities disappear.   ====== Join me in a 30 min meditation session every day at 7 AM CET on my website: https://www.dhyanse.com/live/

#50. How to choose a meditation posture | Yoga Sutras of Patanjali

There is no standard education or training for knowing yourself. Patanjali offers 3 ways of self-knowledge: 1. Introspection: Intellectual refection using thoughts to understand oneself, also supplemented by books. 2. Self-awareness: To become more aware of oneself in situations without judgment or interference of thought. 3. Witnessing: There is no thought, there is no self..Only pure awareness. ====== Join me in a 30 min meditation session every day at 7 AM CET on my website: https://www.dhyanse.com/live/

#49. 3 tools for self-knowledge: Introspection, Self-awareness, Witnessing | Yoga Sutras of Patanjali

Learning contentment is the key to supreme joy, says Patanjali as he instills the values and rules for a Yoga in his Ashtanga Yoga. And as the yogi leads an austere life, his body and senses become pure leading to the access of occult powers. ====== Join me in a 30 min meditation session every day at 7 AM CET on my website: https://www.dhyanse.com/live/

#48. Supreme joy in Contentment | Yoga Sutras of Patanjali

Going back to the elemental construct of life (Earth, Water, Air, Fire, Space) makes you question what is native and what is alien. It also allows you a chance to purify oneself on the elemental level. As purification happens, there is the cheerfulness of mind, one-pointedness of its execution, and preparedness for self-realization.   ======   Join me in a 30 min meditation session every day at 7 AM CET on my website: https://www.dhyanse.com/live/ Each session is unique, starts with a 5-10 min discourse, followed by 20 min Guided Meditation.   If you have any questions, please write to me on hello@dhyanse.com   Be Well, Dhyanse.   ======   WHO AM I:   I am Dhyanse, a Meditation Master with a contemporary approach to Yoga, Zen and Tantra.

#47. Are We Aliens? | Yoga Sutras of Patanjali

Brahmacharya is NOT celibacy, it is not even sexual activities in moderation. It is rather is the understanding of sex energy, learning how to ride the wave and not get caught under it. Sexual energy impacts our mental health. If in imbalance, it creates extremities of depression and anger. Learn to stabilize yourself in the root chakra and enjoy the benefits of healthy sexual expression.   Join me in a 30 min meditation session every day at 7 AM CET on my website: https://www.dhyanse.com/live/ Each session is unique, starts with a 5-10 min discourse, followed by 20 min Guided Meditation.   If you have any questions, please write to me on hello@dhyanse.com   Be Well, Dhyanse.   ======   WHO AM I:   I am Dhyanse, a Meditation Master with a contemporary approach to Yoga, Zen and Tantra.

#39. Astanga Yoga - The Beginning of Transformation | Yoga Sutras of Patanjali

When the mind, heart, and spirit dance together, that state is Yoga. Learning to operate the mind is superficial. Our education, culture, and society are all actively shaping and conditioning the mind. It only allows for the convenience of things. For any tasteful experience of life, you have to learn to operate out of the heart. It has something more but not the ultimate, for which you have to dig deeper in your inner space and take a new birth as a spirit.   Join me in a 30 min meditation session every day at 7 AM CET on my website: https://www.dhyanse.com/live/ Each session is unique, starts with a 5-10 min discourse, followed by 20 min Guided Meditation.   If you have any questions, please write to me on hello@dhyanse.com   Be Well, Dhyanse.   ======   WHO AM I:   I am Dhyanse, a Meditation Master with a contemporary approach to Yoga, Zen and Tantra.

#37. Seven-fold wisdom on the path of Meditation | Yoga Sutras of Patanjali

Yoga is union. Something which appears to be an impossibility as we are so fragmented in our awareness. Yoga allows that impossibility to become reality where everything comes together in one. That one is pure awareness, that one is God, that one is existence, whatever you want to call it. If you can reach there, you also see that the one is none.
