In this episode we step into the 6th limb of Patanjali’s eightfold path: Dharana – the practice of concentration.
This is where the yoga journey moves beyond preparation to the practise & experience of meditation.
Topics covered:
- A short breakdown of the eight-limb path of yoga
- Why most of us know yoga only through asana
- The mystery and misconceptions around the final 3 limbs
- Dharana – its meaning & purpose
- Dharana in today’s attention crisis
- Why “forgetting” is included in the design of meditation
- Turning forgetting into kindness and compassion
- How to choose an object for your meditation
- Practical ways to work with Dharana
- Integrating the fire of Tapas with softness and kindness
- From effort to effortless to arrive at Dhyana
Hopefully this episodes helps de-mystify the idea of dharana into something truly practical that can enhance not only your meditation practise but the way we move through life!
