Ram Dass leads a 28-minute Vipassana meditation on bringing our mind to one point through the breath. This process must be done gently, the mind must remain soft, subtle, buoying and light.

As your mind begins to concentrate, emotions will rise to the surface – greed, lust, doubt, anger, agitation… just notice them, don’t feed them or judge them – then gently return to the breath.

We keep the awareness gently riding on the breath, noting sensations rising and then passing away, like leaves floating down the stream.

In a sense, dharma could be seen as one’s lifelong task, and karma, the steps that you take to get there. Simply put, dharma is about finding your purpose and highest happiness.

Many people take part in a for this exact reason — taking the steps to dive deeper within themselves, expand their practice, and illuminate their purpose..✨

✨I used to focus so much on the intricacies of the practice, the technicalities, the challenge..
Nowadays, yoga is more of an inward focused practice for me more than ever before. I tend to be much softer, moving intuitively, resting when the body calls for rest, practicing loving kindness. Especially with this little one inside, it just feels right. This may be my last pregnancy. So I try to appreciate this gentle time, as I’m sure everything will rev up again real soon and.
