Patanjali's Yoga Sutras are perhaps the most profound text ever written. Neither an explanation of the nature of reality, nor a code for living, they nevertheless hint at both. Without prescribing a specific practice programme they outline the delights, insights and other benefits arising from the in-folding of awareness upon itself. The heart of this outline are the well known eight limbs of "Ashtanga Yoga". This Audio course, that is both theoretical and experiential, offers you a rare and invaluable opportunity to ground your meditation practice and understanding in the potent wisdom of Patanjali.
Through a progressive programme of guided meditations, each of which is introduced with a theme taken from Patanjali's text that sets the tone for Godfrey's sophisticated and subtle guidance, you will learn how to embody the wisdom of Patanjali through your own practice. Each session offers a subtly different access to the nourishment and insight of the meditative mind. Together they can provide you with an embodied
understanding of meditation, awareness and Consciousness that will gradually unfold both theoretically and experientially. The most fruitful way to use these audio recordings is in the sequence outlined below. Not only because the introductory clarifications are progressive, but because the verbal guidance that eases you into the meditative mind is also.
This nourishing immersion, will provide you with a refined and practical understanding of:
