Mind, Meditation, and You

How to Energize Your Mind to Regain Your Divine Strength

A workshop based on the section “Strong Mind, Weak Mind,” from the soon-to-be-published book, Mind: The Playground of Gods, by Swami Veda Bharati.

Swami Rama said, “All of the body is in the mind but all of the mind is not in the body.” In the “modern” world we think of the mind as equivalent to the brain, which occupies only the small space within the skull. How can it be that all of the mind is not in the body when the brain is entirely in the body? What was that Swami thinking? The answer is that, according to yoga philosophy, the mind is a subtle energy field, whereas the body is gross. The mind field is subtler than prana, subtler than the body, subtler than your clothes, but is still considered to be material and this mind energy field is greater than the body. In other words, the body lives within the subtler mind field.

In this series of Zoom sessions, we will study this knowledge through the lens of Swami Veda’s writings and lectures. There will be talks by the leader, readings from Swami Veda’s upcoming book, introspection, group discussions, and group practice. This will be an opportunity to get a better understanding of the mind and a chance to strengthen your mind.
