Know thyself- through yoga we aim to learn our true nature, and
mediation is one part of this journey.
I’ve
been practicing meditation as long as I’ve been practicing yoga asana.
Through practice I've found that meditation is like training the focus muscles of the brain. As well as being more calm, I’m
unquestionably more focused when I’ve been practicing. We use strength
resistance to train our muscles, cardio to increase the capacity of our lungs
and hearts... meditation is training for the mind.
What is the mind, really, and what influence does it have over our sense of self?
