Ireland Retreat with Lee Ann

Lee Ann, provided a informative meditation lesson today. It was a emotional release for a long day of travel. The Ireland retreat location is beautiful quiet and serene.

Hearing the sutras chanted accurately

It helps tremendously to hear Sanskrit chants with proper inflection and pronunciation. It is the sound vibration of Patanjali’s teaching. I wish the reader of the text portion, which is most of the book, matched the tone of Swami Satchidanana. He sounded like he could be reading a text book without understanding it; some words were mispronounced. He sounds foreign to the subject matter. Respectfully to the narrator nonetheless.
I am very happy with the audio version notwithstanding.

Excellent: The Science of Mind

My Licensing as a Science of Mind Practitioner was helpful, but within the Yoga Sutras abides the true Science of Mind. It is impossible to approach the physical Yogic postures without balancing the mind. It is also impossible to approach daily life postures (experiences) without balancing the mind. The narration of these Sutras is a true gem.

I felt so at peace listening to this.

Loved this book. Couldn't put it down. It's the combination of the commentaries and the sanskrit. Absolutely awesome.

BEST Yoga Sutras Choice!

Sri Swami Satchidananda is so good at distilling and simplifying the Yoga Sutras in his commentaries. No one seems to understand the very Soul of this 3'000+ text the way Sri Satchidananda does. I even bought the pocket size paperback edition of his Yoga Sutras. The translation is accurate, and his commentary explains the more difficult concepts to grasp, especially for the Westerners most likely to be reading or listening to this.
I've listened to a few Yoga Sutras audiobooks before, and listened to a good bit of commentary as well. Many hours of it. But this is truly the best choice for anyone seriously interested in a REAL understanding of Yoga. Couldn't be happier with this purchase!

A Must Read!!!

This book will allow you to gain understanding of questions regarding Spirit, mind, and body alignment. I meditate in this book and the Bible. Both allow me to walk in truth daily. I only wish that I would have been introduced a lot sooner. I am thankful for the discovery in this season.
