A Reflection on yogaś citta-vṛtti-nirodhaḥ in a Wobbly World

💬 Quote from the Episode:

“Yoga is the cessation of fluctuations of the mind.” — yogaś citta-vṛtti-nirodhaḥ (Yoga Sūtra I.2)

📌 Show Notes:

Life swerves. People snap. Some days you're a willow. Some days you're a pine.

In this insightful solo riff, Nicholas Wade Kimps explores the deep tension between mental fluctuation and spiritual steadiness. Drawing from the Yoga Sūtras, personal reflection, and even a little Green Day music video nostalgia, this DIVOted Talk invites you to ask:

Are you riding the wave—or breaking in the wind?

Nicholas reflects on:

• The purpose of yoga and dinacaryā as internal rumble strips

• Rigidity vs. receptivity in the nervous system and psyche

• How flexibility of thought protects your peace and perspective

• Why self-study and breath are your best defense against mental fragmentation

• The power of being so in tune with your rhythm that you can’t not dance

This episode is a gentle-yet-firm nudge back to center.
