RAMAKRISHNA ANANDA

State 3 — The Restless Mind

Is your mind sometimes blissful and sometimes turbulent?

This is part four of a six-part series on You Can Choose Your State of Mind. A person who is in the restless state of mind is at a pivot point, sometimes experiencing inner harmony but sometimes preoccupied by chaotic thoughts and feelings. If you are in this state, you are occasionally aware of your inner self, but generally not. Find out how you can move beyond the restless state to a clear, calm mind which is attuned with your inner self.

Yoga Basics, Mind, Self-Study

Gain Both the Inner Universe and Outer World

The restless mind is looking for a place to rest. It’s pulled by the outer world yet lured by the flashes of light and bliss within. As the mind goes within to its source all will be gained — both the inner universe and the outer world.

  • Notice which choices make your mind more chaotic and which ones make it more focused and harmonious
  • Learn a technique to watch your mind become calmer and more relaxed
  • How you can be perfectly calm even if your mind is restless
  • Hear how those in a restless state often don’t realize that others too are facing the same battles
  • Explore how to treat your mind as your best friend by appreciation, love and guidance

How to Succeed

As you may know, we do not charge for our courses. All Yoga World content is free and available to you with our blessings. However, we do have a simple, but important request that’s key to the transformations necessary to succeed on the path.

We ask you to commit two hours a week to selfless service. This service can be anything you choose ranging from helping a family member or neighbor to volunteering at a nonprofit organization.

I Commit to Serve

This commitment is solely between you and your inner self.

Why the Commitment?
