I had committed to doing a live radio

show- 1 talk a week for the whole year starting last February, and this week it marks one year! There’s a lot I learnt and shared with listeners..

In this segment, we go beyond the surface of "resting" and look at the fascinating machinery of the brain versus the ancient cartography of the soul.

Patanjali, the sage who compiled the Yoga Sutras 2,000 years ago, knew exactly why. He didn't see your struggle as a lack of "willpower." He saw it as a structural issue of the human mind.
