Yoga Sutra 2.55 Senses under control
Putting your senses at the service of the highest goal.
Is your awareness at the service of your senses or are your senses at the services of your awareness?
Can you articulate your senses to support your single pointed focus? Are your senses helping you participate consciously in your life?
Yoga Sutra 2.54 Pratyahara, inner sensitivity
Change the focal point for your senses from external to internal.
Charge your senses with the power of awareness. Curiosity about the myriad sensations making up your inner life provides the motivation and drive to embark on this inward journey. Where do these subtler experiences lead you?
