Mind, its Mysteries and Control

We will study the path of Raja Yoga as taught by Patanjali Maharishi in the Raja Yoga Sutras. The retreat will explore the workings of the mind and the controlling of our thoughts. In the scriptures, we are shown the 5 types of vrittis (thought waves), the 5 Klesas (sources of suffering), as well as the methods to harmonize our inner conflicts resulting in a clearer and more focused mind. This teaching gives us a wonderful message of hope and encouragement. It enables us to rise above the stages of depression, turmoil and fear and find a center of peace within ourselves, where we are untouched by the changes and challenges of our lives.
