Lecture: The Samkhya Model of Mind: Navigating Our Mental Landscape

70.00 ₪

The brilliance of Samkhya lies in its practical relevance to our daily experience. When we recognize the distinction between pure awareness and mental activity, our yoga practice transforms from physical exercise to a technology for self-understanding. Rather than identifying with every thought that arises in challenging poses, we can observe the mind's patterns with curiosity. Like a mirror that reflects all images without becoming what it reflects, our essential awareness remains unchanged amidst the constantly shifting mental and physical landscape. This insight doesn't just deepen our philosophy—it fundamentally transforms our experience both on and off the mat.
