As meditation becomes part of your daily rhythm, you may notice a growing sense of ease in your mind and peace in your heart. Creating space and time for practice is important, but just as essential is making sure you feel comfortable.

When in the process of withdrawing from the sense of your physical self and entering your subtle self, the four phases of mindfulness are used to keep your attention focused on your experience. With time and consistent practice, you will arrive at meditation and from there, reach pure consciousness.

With its rich and varied history, meditation offers countless ways to engage with the practice. While interpretations may differ about what meditation is or isn’t, at its core, it is a self-reflective process that brings harmony across all layers of our being, from the physical body to the subtle mind and ultimately to the blissful self.

Yoga is so much more than the physical practice of the asanas. Meditation isn’t its own separate thing, it’s a part of the larger practice. The eight limbs of yoga provide a path to guide us on how to treat ourselves, how to focus our energy, and how to be in the world.
