Yoga Sutra 1.30 Distractions and Obstacles
What obstacles and distractions are keeping you from progressing toward greater integration?
The obstacles and distractions include: disease (vyadi), dullness (styana), doubt (samshaya), carelessness (pramada), laziness (alasya), indulgence (avirati), confused perception (bhranti darshana), inability to be grounded (alabdha bhumikatva) and inconsistency (anavasthitatvani)
Yoga Sutra 1.29: Awareness turns inward and disturbances are removed
Does chanting OM turn awareness inward and remove obstacles?
Verify if the practice of chanting OM and meditation on its meaning is working. Notice if there is more or less reactivity in you. Are you more distracted or less?
Yoga Sutras 1.27 & 1.28 Supreme Being, OM, Chanting and meditation
The ॐ symbol and practice to reflect on Supreme Being
Practice for embodying the path of ishvara pranidhana, the wholehearted cultivation of humility by repeating the syllable OM and contemplating its deep meaning. The repetition is a reminder of your interest, motivation and awareness. Feel the sensations before, during and after each chant. As you chant open yourself up to the mind transcending meaning of Supreme Being.
Yoga Sutra 1.26 Unconditioned by time and unequaled teacher
Are you making yourself available to life?
Does your yoga practice transport you into the eternal present moment? Have you found ways to enter the timelessness dimension of life? Are you tuned into your own learning process? Do you know how you learn best? If you keep running against the same obstacles again and again, are you making conscious choices or are your likes and dislikes choosing for you?
