DHARANA ~ Focus The Mind With The Heart

The Sixth Limb of The Yoga Sutras

'ask dorothy' | Q & A

The WISDOM podcast  Season 3  Episode 69

 

~ “Focus your mind where your heart lives far more of the time.” ~

💜

 

Dharana, a Sanskrit word meaning concentration is the sixth limb of yoga in the Ashtanga yoga system—also called the eight-limbed path.  The goal of dharana is to bind your consciousness to one particular object, activity, place, or idea.

 

As we explore further the sixth limb of the yoga sutras – and how specifically to apply the teachings of dharana, in this episode of ‘ask dorothy’ I would like to offer something quite extraordinary ~ to practice dharana engaging your heart wisdom.

What if you practiced the one-pointed focus of dharana of complete and deliberate concentration as you align both your heart and mind toward any of your heart’s desires ~ and to all things ~ that are most wanted?

 

We do this quite naturally as a function of our heart’s outpouring of desire.

 

If there is something important that you want that you want, you hold focus and place your attention on your desire and you also engage the physical steps needed to attain this.

 

 

Now what if you cultivated the magic and the discipline of one-pointed focus, allowing the heart’s wisdom to guide and influence what you want to manifest.

 

Let your mind engage with your heart’s true desire. This is how to focus the mind on only what is wanted.

 

 

Sending you great 💜 love...

 

Sharing the wisdom and beauty of divine love with you...

Namaste!
