In our life, we are continuously looking outside for our joy and fulfillment. By our surroundings, we have been conditioned to believe that outer attainments can give us what we want in life. Yet, again and again, our experiences and observations remind us that nothing external can completely fulfill and satisfy our life. Knowingly or unknowingly we are continuously looking for the solution of Body, Breath, Mind and Heart issues. Usually, we repress them or trying to replace them with positive ones or dump them on someone else. However, we don’t have any access to the main source of answers unless we look within.

Meditation is considered to be the most powerful tool in the field of yoga to connect within and also to experience the union with reality as yoga talks about. This meditative awareness or observation becomes the central thread or core practice of all eight limbs of yoga.
