Dear Yogi, Yoga helps us to quiet down and come to a place of peace. We practise meditation and asana to connect to the stillness deep within – the stillness we can reach when the waves of the mind are calm.
And yet, so many of us are terrified of – or at least uncomfortable with – silence, or Mouna in Sanskrit.
Mouna allows us to simply watch; to observe the activity of our mind without getting involved in its antics. When we simply observe our thoughts and how they activate our emotions and drive our behaviour without getting involved, eventually the ego mind settles a bit, and there’s an opportunity for deep healing and change
Explore the potential of silence in the articles and suggested classes below.
Love,
