In the whirlwind of life, especially during the overstimulating holiday season, it's common to feel overwhelmed. We often blame external forces for our discomfort or agitation. However, meditation and the concept of Pratyahara from the Yoga Sutras offer a different approach.
By focusing your attention inward on your internal sensations, you learn to identify the true sources of your feelings. For instance, if noise makes you irritable, it's not the sound itself, but how your body reacts to it. This self-awareness is crucial in learning how to calm yourself and communicate your needs effectively.
Our focus is to tune into and listen to your internal sensations. This isn't just about finding temporary relief but about cultivating a deeper understanding of yourself. It's about learning to recognize when you're out of balance and knowing how to bring yourself back to a state of equilibrium.
