SEE EVENT DETAILS
This is a Free Event for All. Donations are welcome!
IN-STUDIO ONLY
The Vedas, the oldest extant spiritual literature from India, are considered authoritative spiritual texts with answers to profound questions such as, "What is the self?" "What is the world?" and "What is God?". We will examine the meaning of self from the perspective of the Vedas' oldest source materials, the Upanisads, and a more modern Vedanta text, the Bhagavad Gita, as well as the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, and Western Psychology. It is worth knowing that modern yoga evolved from these same texts.
The goal of this 1-hour talk is to give you a meaningful and workable definition of self to provide spiritual insight and deepen your yoga practice. The Vedas can give us clarity about what it means to have an expanded sense of self and to be a free person. What does it mean to be free of the struggles of the body and mind? We will look at the free self in discussion and in guided meditation.
A guided Vedic meditation will be given after the discussion.This guided meditation will point to the self that is free. The intention is for the free self to land in the very center of your heart.
