I always enjoy the free 21 day meditations from #deepakchopra and #oprah it is my nightly routine & always helps me to fall asleep faster. I have also learned a bunch of new mantras. I find mantra meditation to bork best with my busy Vata mind. Looking forward to day 3 tonight!

NEW VIDEO up on the #youtube channel about the "forgotten" limb of #yoga : PRATYAHARA or withdrawing from the senses - drawing your energy & attention to your inner world. This limb of yoga is not often discussed, but it is critical in your yoga practice as it lays the ground work for the next few limbs: concentration, meditation and samadhi. LINK in the bio to the full video! And the PRACTICE video is coming soon! #lauragyoga #video #yogisofig #youtuber #realyoga #yogaphilosophy #yogavideo #yogini #pratyahara #practice #yogaboard #8limbedpath #8limbsofyoga #yogaeveryday #yogaeverydamnday #liveyouryoga #yogaoffthemat #itsallyoga (at New Jersey)
The #yogaboard for Week 7 in the 8 LIMBS OF YOGA series is DHYANA = meditation (in its true form). Compare this to last week talking about DHARANA (concentration) or being able to focus the mind on a single point. Meditation goes a step farther to where the separation between the observer and the object dissolves- leaving you in a place of indescribable peace & stillness. This is where we sit in our true nature - without the distraction caused by the fluctuations of the mind. Here we are connected to the deep core layers: the wisdom body (vijyanamaya kosha) the bliss body (anandamaya kosha) and the soul (atman) or the True Self. #meditation #meditate #soul #trueself #stillness #presentmoment #now #yoga #yogisofig #yogaeveryday #yogaeverydamnday #realyoga #lauragyoga #koshas #energy #concentration #dharana #dhyana #8limbedpath #8limbsofyoga #awareness (at Hummingbird Yoga NJ)
Just a reminder: evenness of mind is yoga...or said another way- yoga is the stilling of the changing states of the mind. The 8 limbs of yoga show us the way and give us the tools to move toward that evenness of mind. Yoga is not the ability to do a handstand in the middle of the room or to touch your toes- if that was the case then every gymnast and contortionist would be enlightened. The daily practice of asana, pranayama, meditation, service, compassion...move us toward that inner stillness, clarity and connection that make up the core of why we "practice yoga". #yoga #accessibleyoga #yogaforall #yogi #yogini #lauragyoga #stillness #asana #meditation #Pranayama #compassion #focus #realyoga #yogaphilosophy #8limbedpath #8limbsofyoga #eightlimbsofyoga #regram (at New Jersey)
Over the years, my yoga practice has branched out and the time I spend drawing and painting is an integral part of this yoga-thing that I do. Working on mandalas and sacred geometry keeps me in alignment at the soul level by allowing me to interface with my own creative process in such a way as to reconnect with source. This type of drawing practice encourages me to stay in a more meditative, methodical, beauty-seeing symmetry-seeking channel, allowing me to better coexist with past traumas and anxieties about the future. I enjoy doing figurative drawing as well, but more and more often find myself working on pieces related with the kaleidescopic manifestions of the divine, as expressed through repetitive visual patterns or mandalas & religious iconography.
Con el paso del tiempo, mi practica de yoga se ha ampliado y el tiempo que paso pintando y dibujando es una parte integral de esa cosa del yoga que hago. Hacer mándalas y trabajar con las formas de la geometría sagrada me mantiene alineada al nivel del alma, por permitirme una vía través de la que puedo canalizar mi energía creativa de tal forma que puedo reconectar con la fuente. Este tipo de disciplina artística me anima a quedar en un canal mas meditativo, metódico, en el que siempre estoy buscando ver mas belleza, simetría y harmonía, lo cual me permite coexistir mejor con traumas pasadas y miedos sobre el futuro. Disfruto también de hacer trabajos figurativos pero cada vez mas me encuentro creando obras relacionadas con las manifestaciones kaleidoscopicas del divino, expresados en forma de patrón visual repetido o mándala, y iconografía religiosa.
