When is the last time you practiced pratyahara?
Pratyahara translates to "control of ahara,” or, to gain mastery over external influences. This lesser known limb of yoga has been compared to a turtle withdrawing into its shell, the turtle’s shell representing the mind and the turtle’s limbs representing the senses.
This practice reminds us of the importance of regulating our senses. Since we are bombarded with impressions from the media on a regular basis, it is important to pause, reflect, and recenter as often as we can.
That's why we've decided that for the next several days, our social media feeds, and the team that runs them, will be taking a much-needed break. We will still be checking messages and comments, but we're taking this opportunity to rest, recharge, and refuel, and we encourage all of you to find space to do the same.
Try unplugging when possible, and getting back in touch with what’s going on in the environment around you and within you.
This feed will still be here when you decide to come back.
