Meditation

Meditation is Yoga

At age 17, being a curious teenager, I found a meditation center near the place where I lived. I've spent the larger portion of my life in Meditation, prayer and contemplation ever since, in the midst of living a 'normal' life with all the challenges of modern age, of dysfunctional and unhealthy patterns, of overcoming one battle after the next and digging deeper each time in healing, in unconditional love and light to come out the other side stronger.

From Patanjali's yoga sutras we focus on the 3 'limbs' or aspects of Yoga before Samadhi.

Pratyahara (withdrawal of the senses)
Dharana (concentration)
Dhyana (meditation)
