SVADHYAYA
Self-Study | Self-Realizations
Svadhyaya is the fourth Niyama and translates to “self-study”. There are 5 Niyama’s all together and they are part of the 8 Limbs of Yoga, which are generally referred too as, observances. It involves examining one’s actions, thoughts, and emotions with detachment in order to understand your self. Fostering self-awareness, and personal growth.
Svadhyaya is a, conscious, and non-critical, approach to looking at oneself, aiming to turn attention inward to understand the deeper nature of being.
Even though, svadhyaya is self-study, an inward turning. It helps so very much to talk about the process, your findings, uncertainty around self-discovery. It also helps to have a guide that has been on the svadhyaya path for over 20 years, Gwyn to bounce thoughts off of, ask questions, and assist in giving personal tasks, journal prompts, issues with meditation and great resources to continue your path of svadhyaya after the month of direction comes to an end.
For the month of March Gwyn will be holding an online, hour long practice every Tuesday and Thursday mornings starting at 6:30am-7:30am. These will be held live through Zoom. You can hop on the stream at any time within the hour, but it is always more beneficial to be on when we start. This will be only a month, being able to dedicate yourself to a month of self-study just might lead you to greater life discovery. Remember you are the source of everything. If you didn’t exist nothing would, granting yourself the gift of knowing who you are, just translate to a more fulfilled life.
