Welcome to a transformative meditation experience: "Cultivating Inner Stillness Through the Ancient Art of Drishti." In this episode, we embark on a journey of self-discovery and profound inner calm.

Explore the ancient yogic practice of Drishti, a focal point that directs your gaze, enhancing concentration, equilibrium, and the quieting of the mind. Discover the intricate connection between Drishti, Pratyahara, and Dharana—the fifth and sixth limbs of the eight-fold path of yoga, according to the sage Patanjali.

As we delve into the Eight Limbs of Yoga outlined in Patanjali's Yoga Sutras, you'll come to understand how Drishti can serve as a valuable tool on your path to spiritual and mental development, where attention flows and energy follows. This practice helps refine sensory awareness, allowing you to turn your focus inward, nurturing a profound sense of inner stillness and presence.

In this meditation, we'll explore the Bhrumadhya Drishti, also known as Ajna Chakra Drishti, where you gently close your physical eyes to open your cosmic eye, embarking on an inner journey towards clarity and focus.

As you immerse yourself in this experience, you'll discover that Drishti is not just for the mat—it's a practical tool that can be integrated into everyday life, bringing serenity and focus even in moments of chaos.

By cultivating inner stillness through this ancient art, you can embrace a sense of tranquility, clarity, and presence in your life.

And today's meditation is a teaser of Nola Bloom's Eight day online course "An Embodiment Journey Into The Eight Limbs Of Yoga" available on Insight Timer, offering a deeper exploration of these ancient teachings. Visit Insight Timer to listen to the intro and check out the course overview.
