The human mind thinks approximately 70,000 thoughts per day – that is a lot of thinking! Some of those thoughts are helpful, and some of them are not. We don’t want to get rid of the thinking mind – but when we meditate, we do learn how to quiet it down. We learn how to still the fluctuations that occur at every given moment of our waking lives.

In this video, I give the example of our phones – if we kept the ringer on all day, we would be constantly pulled towards the sounds – the dings, the rings, the alerts. Yet when we put our phone on vibrate, or even silence, we can better manage how we want to receive the dings, the rings and the alerts. We can better manage everything that is coming at us in the world. 

And this is what meditation does for us.

Give yourself the gift of ‘silencing your phone’ – quieting your mind – with Yoga Chitta Vritti Nirodha. 

Thank you for joining me today – I look forward to seeing you in the gap!
