RAMAKRISHNA ANANDA

Writing God's Name

How do we overcome old habits?

The soul is striving to transform us into vehicles capable of relating to and expressing the Divine. Through spiritual practices we can develop new samskaras (little tracks or canals etched into our nervous system) which allow the energy to flow easily from the soul out into the world. Discover how to form new samskaras which transmit Spirit.

Sunday Morning Talks

Form New Samskaras

Through yoga practices you can consciously direct your awareness to develop new samskaras (canals or highways in your nervous system). These samskaras allow the energy to flow easily from your soul, the center of awareness, through the mind and your whole being.

As you make new samskaras, the old patterns become very apparent to you. The subconscious becomes transformed so that even subconscious thoughts reflect the soul.

Show More
  • To form new habits, conscious repetition is a most important tool on the spiritual path
  • When you repeat an action with full attention, new samskaras, little tracks or canals, are etched into your nervous system
  • The way you think, feel and act is a result of your habitual flows of energy
  • You can prepare the body and mind to receive and express spiritual energy by developing new samskaras
  • From these new samskaras, old habitual flows of energy are released through ventilation of the subconscious
  • Writing God’s name helps ventilate the subconscious and create new canals, allowing spiritual energy to flow

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?
