The 8 Limbs: Pratyahara

In our chaotic world, we often neglect our internal landscape, fixated on external distractions. But to thrive in meditation, we must learn to withdraw our minds from the ceaseless stream of sensory input. Easier said than done, especially for the easily distracted.

Our minds, like mischievous children, have a knack for defying our intentions. Blocking out stimuli only makes them stronger. Yet, there's a secret—a practice called Pratyahara. It's about losing track of our surroundings, immersing ourselves in the present moment without intellectualising external stimuli.

Through techniques like Antar Mouna, we unlock the door to Pratyahara's tranquil realm, preparing ourselves for profound meditation. External disturbances fade away, akin to drifting into a peaceful slumber.

But to master Pratyahara, we must find comfort in stillness, free from pain or discomfort. It's through this bodily training that we can dive deeper into self-exploration.

Join us as we unravel techniques to guide our focus inward—our breath, sensations, sounds—satisfying the wandering mind while maintaining control. Claim mastery over your consciousness and unlock the secrets of Pratyahara.
