A priceless piece of advice my meditation teacher shared with me in retreat:

Pain x resistance = suffering

This equation continually sees me through the ups & downs of life. The Yoga sutras provide a clear, lineage-based map of the mind & its relationship with the world so we may observe & release where our resistances have created & sustained our stress. This opens the way to self love, empathy and forging a new agreement with reality itself as our teacher. -- Michael

In this module we will cover some of the most powerful verses from the ancient Yoga Sutras of Patanjali. The Yoga Sutras are about unblocking * empowering our mind to discover & gain powerful insights into the nature of reality & our powerful part in shaping it. 

Some of the major topics covered:
- Presence & the cause of disconnection
- Connecting to Source consciousness in the present 

  • The Five major mental afflictions, karma & samsara
  • Tracking states of mind; discerning delusion from correct perceptions
  • Time/resource management, getting familiar with reality blindspots
  • The Five Powers leading to Awakening
  • The Four Infinite thoughts
  • Becoming realized & awakened
  • The eight limbed path to self mastery
