#5 Pratyahara - Withdrawal of the senses - Eight Limbs of Yoga

Thank you for the brilliant talk. I've been starting to use Pratyahara in everyday life, to help with PTSD. When I pull my focus inward, or even just away from outside world to body awareness, I truly feel relief. I also sense I'm reclaiming energy. Feels so good!

[@romyjugroo4542]

Oversimpifying the asanas really saves a lot of energy,I see.

[@adnanmaruf282]

love u , great to be ur disciple

[@ItzTrickshotHD]

So push all atention towards the spine, and "invite" your energy or focus towards that, as a countermeasure to feeling sensations. Is the prior sentence an accurate representation of how to perform the practice of pratyahara?

[@bebeteindarte9671]

I have been practicing yoga for more than ten years but my practice is stagnate I need to familiarize myself with the terms because I start learning the theory, the names and I end up distracted with other things around my busy life. [ I am a mother of two kids, one has autisme and have no family around and my friends are busy with theirs lives], and I have only done asanas, pranayama, meditation and of course I breathe yoga too, but I want to learn more, much more. Thank you again for another beautiful and useful video.

[@tyharness2527]

Hi thanks for these talks. I've always felt relaxed and serene while go under water either at the public baths or even at home. I guess it's a form of sense withdrawal. Do you think there's any yogic logic to under water swimming? Mind you don't do asana if your ear is still fuĺl of water.

[@kapilsharmasapkota4574]

Amazing

[@DAMMARODAM111]

this is one of shiva 112 ways

[@georgekastro7312]

Trust me guys, you don't even know what it means. I think a lot of Western Yogis understand yoga as a belief system, whitch is not, it's fully experiancal

[@Ekhartyoga]

thanks for you comment - I don't think we disagree that it's about experiencing and practice
