Yogamaharishi Patanjali who is considered to be the Father of Yoga compiled a set of succinct aphorisms in the yoga sutras thousands of years ago, and it is interesting to see that they are applicable even in the 21st century!
There are many paths to choose from… and the choice of the path is based on the individual’s inclination, but ultimately all paths lead to the same destination of freedom or liberation.
With the hectic life style of the 21st century where myriad things need to be done all at once and multi-tasking is the name of the game played on a daily basis, it is very easy for one to feel anxious, frustrated, angry, depressed, or even fatigued. The life force energy (Prana in Sanskrit) that allows you to feel vibrant, happy and peaceful can get disturbed. Your life situations and every day events can throw your sense of balance and well being off kilter. You may realize that you are an obsessive, compulsive, thinker who is constantly dwelling on thoughts that are not nourishing or life enhancing. Your mind body system may feel imbalanced and you know that “something doesn’t feel right”.
Meditation has been a part of many cultures for thousands of years as a means to go beyond the mind’s busy activity into a state of tranquility and peace. The essential aspects of these timeless teachings have been maintained in their pure, original form, ensuring consistent physical, emotional, and spiritual benefits. Primordial Sound Meditation is a time-tested meditation technique dating back thousands of years to the ancient Vedic traditions of India. It is a healing practice that allows us to experience inner calm and deep relaxation.
