SAMATA YOGA
The practise of Samata yoga as an easy although profound yoga, allows the individual to embark on a journey of learning to the ultimate illumination of the soul. Along this journey of discovery, not only are we helped and aided in the daily struggles encountered in our individual everyday existence, but also universally as the structures of society begin to deteriorate, and old beliefs are shattered as so often happens within this age of discontent. Once we consciously understand who
we are and why we are here, this will without doubt give us the strength and ability to deal with many of the stresses of everyday living and survival, which can result in physical and emotional breakdowns. We are therefore equipped with the ability of a quick recovery to handle each situation and turn it into a spiritual experience of evolution.
