The Mind And The Self

A 10-day (self-paced) short course which explores the Sutras of Patanjali’s and his ancient teachings that guide us in understanding the mind, calming its fluctuations, and uncovering our true Self.

    • Uncovering the Foundations of the Yoga Sutras

    • Yoga Sutra 1.1 - The Beginning of the Journey

    Atha yoga anushasanam marks the beginning of Patanjali’s teachings.

    • Samkhya Simplified

    Samkhya, one of the oldest and most influential philosophies in India, which deeply informed Patanjali's teachings in the Yoga Sutras.

    • The Journey Inward

    Yoga Sutra 1.2: "Yogash chitta vritti nirodhah", explains the essence of yoga as the stilling of the mind.

    • Yoga Sutra 1.2: The Mind-Field – Exploring Chitta

    Chitta, which encompasses the entire mindβ€”conscious, subconscious, and unconsciousβ€”and how it influences our thoughts, emotions, and perceptions.

    • Yoga Sutra 1.2: Vritti – Understanding the Mind's Fluctuations

    Vritti, the mental fluctuations or modifications that shape how we perceive the world and ourselves. 

    • Yoga Sutra 1.2: Nirodhah – The Practice of Stillness

    Nirodhah, the process of quieting the fluctuations of the mind, known as Vritti. This is the key to achieving a deeper experience of our true nature.

    • Yoga Sutra 1.3 - Abiding in the True Self

    In this lesson, we look into Yoga Sutra 1.3, which explains how the Seer (Self) abides in its own true nature, free from the mental fluctuations that often cloud our perception.

    • Yoga Sutra 1.4 - The Mask of the Mind

    In this lesson, we explore Yoga Sutra 1.4, which reveals what happens when the mind is unsettled and distracted.

  • We explore the deeper psychological concepts within Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras and their parallels with modern psychology. Patanjali's exploration of the mindβ€”Chittaβ€”reveals how our thoughts, emotions, and mental frameworks shape our reality.

One of my goals is to be a person who is easily delighted, who can find great cause for celebration in a fig or a familiar face. If you need fireworks and perfection in order to crack a smile, you're going to be disappointed over and over when life fails to be spectacular on command. I want to live with an extremely low bar for delight. It takes almost nothing at all - a good song, a ripe piece of fruit, a perfectly packed tote.

- no idea who said this (but it’s beautiful)
