Glimpse just beyond the realm of our immediate perception, to the battle waging constantly within our minds that keeps us in an un-free state, and seek together with us to disarm its factions in a step towards Freedom.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0In past programs, we have been working on the recognition of the unfree state of our minds, dependent and vulnerable to external conditions. In this next program, we will introduce an important tool for us to use to assist in this process\u2014<em>asana<\/em> (physical postures of Yoga).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Asana: A Tool for Cultivating the Field<br \/>\n<\/strong>Cultivating the land is hard work that requires time, effort, and patience before it bears fruits. Cultivating the field of the mind is no different, though the tools that are needed are certainly of a different kind.<\/p>\n<p>The first step in cultivation requires seeing what\u2019s already in the field, recognizing what\u2019s already in the mind\u2014no matter how entangled and overgrown it may be with its own activities. <em>Asana<\/em> is a practice that can help us not only begin to see the field, but to also start clearing away the overgrowth. In this program, join us in our learning about what <em>asana<\/em> is, where it comes from, the importance and significance of it in cultivating the mind to walk on the path towards Freedom\u2014and experience a small taste of <em>asana<\/em> for yourself.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px; padding-right: 60px;\">Speakers: Karuna and Sadhya<br \/>\n<strong>Suggested:<\/strong>\u00a0Please arrive without a full stomach to have the opportunity to experience the maximum benefit a few seated <em>asana<\/em> (physical postures) that will be introduced during the program.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/disarming-the-mind-part4.eventbrite.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">REGISTER HERE<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>* Tickets will be available for purchase for up to 24 hours in advance.<br \/>\n<\/strong><strong>* Please note that using Zoom is required for attending the program.<br \/>\n<\/strong>* You will be emailed a Zoom link on the day of the program.<br \/>\n* We will be happy to provide technical assistance to anyone who may need it.<br \/>\n* We will open the Zoom space at 6:15 for attendees to enter and test that zoom is working properly.<br \/>\n* We highly encourage you to connect early to troubleshoot any unexpected issues and then return just before 7 pm.<br \/>\n* On the day of the event, we will post a contact number here for any technical issues that may arise.<\/p>\n<p>Please reach out to <a href=\"mailto:info@mahayogiyogamission.org\">info@mahayogiyogamission.org<\/a> for inquiries about this event.<\/p>\n<p>LINKS<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/mahayogi.org\/sahasrara\/index.php\/2020\/11\/echo-from-the-cave-145\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Report for Positive Transformation ~ The Story of Freedom 1: Recognition (Blog 145)<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mahayogi.org\/sahasrara\/index.php\/2021\/01\/echo-from-the-cave-148\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Youtube video Positive Transformation ~ The Story of Freedom 1: Recognition (Blog 148)<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mahayogi.org\/sahasrara\/index.php\/2021\/02\/echo-from-the-cave-149\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Report and Youtube video of Positive Transformation ~ The Story of Freedom 2: Self-Reflection (Blog 149)<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tuesday Mar 23, 2021 NYC Announcement: MYM\u2019s Series \u201cPositive Transformation in Times of Change\u201d presents Disarming the Mind for Freedom \u2013 Part 4 Friday, April 2nd 7-8 pm With our eyes fixed on the external world, internal observation of the mind is more challenging than ever before.
