Introduction to Classical Yoga Meditation

This week is perfect for anyone wanting to establish a meditation practice.

All happiness achieved through the mind is temporary and fleeting; it is limited by nature. To achieve lasting happiness and absolute peace, we must first know how to calm the mind, to concentrate and go beyond the mind. By turning the mind's concentration inward, upon the self, we can deepen that experience of perfect concentration. This is the state of Meditation.
