Detox From Restless Thoughts

“Victory over mind and its modifications can also be gained through complete surrender to God, the inner guide.” ~Patanjali

 

We are living in a time of excess and extremes politically, economically, and socially. We crave a sense of semblance as we seek out a voice of unity. Discover how to find true peace and happiness within yourself.

 

This week, you'll be exploring Moderation, from Pantanjali's Yoga Sutras. This is part of a collection of meditation series focused on honoring the way you live your life. You'll focus on moderation to help cultivate a calmer, kinder approach to the problems in the world today.

 

This is part 4 of a 7-part Moderation meditation series with the 4th Yama Brahmacharya, episodes 2117-2123.

 

THIS WEEK'S CHALLENGE:

You're invited to take part in a Restraint Quest where every day this week you direct your thoughts, actions, and words in a positive way to support yourself, without relying on anything outside yourself to meet your needs.
