Cultivating your sādhana practice of yoga and meditation

 

When you want to deepen your inner experience of yoga and meditation it is important to practise together from time to time in a group residential experience. This process supports your personal growth and inner development. It also provides structure, encouragement, reflection, and a sense of sangha community. And this in turn deepens your practice and assists you in becoming more self-aware by noticing the positive changes and inner growth. 

 

When living in a busy world full of stressors and pressures you need to gather periodically in nature with like-minded people and practice yoga and meditation to decompress. Such an experience helps recalibrate your mind, emotions, energies, body and inner reality.  In Paramahansa Swāmi Satyānanda’s words, ‘Yoga sādhana is a must for those who feel something is missing from their life, be it physical, mental, or a personality error of their being. Yoga sādhana, in fact, is a collective name for all those techniques which are deliberately adopted to remove the imperfections of the personality. Yoga sādhana is good for self-realisation because all the generated and unconsumed energies of the mind and emotions are directed towards one healthy end, the realisation of the supreme Self, which is the ultimate goal of life. All emotions and mental powers are thus deposited in the safe deposit account of Self-realisation.’
