4.9/5 (31807 ratings)

Description:Yoga practices like meditation, postures and breathing techniques can help you escape from daily life and the chaos around you. Deeper Days, however, helps you integrate yoga practices and life. It does this through daily messages, encouraging you to reflect on how you can apply these principles in your own life.The messages are arranged in eight sections, structured on the eight limbs of yoga, as described in Patañjali’s Yoga Sutras. The first section is based on Yama, or the ethics needed for balancing health and wellbeing. The yamas create self-discipline for a chaotic mind. They have five characteristics: nonviolence, honesty, not stealing – including not stealing time or attention, the wise use of sexual energy, and not coveting.The second section is based on Niyama, the rules and laws about observance and inner awareness that can help us relate to ourselves. It is about being mindful, which brings pure intent and letting go of the ego. The actions that form make up Niyama are Sauca, or purity; Santosa, or contentment, acceptance and optimism; Tapas, or persistence, perseverance and austerity; Svādhyāya, or self-study, self-reflection and intentionally focusing on the self; and Īśvarapraṇidhāna, the contemplation of the divine.The third section is based on Asana, or posture. These are the physical postures we see in our mind’s eye when we think of yoga. They’re an expression of our physical essence.The fourth section is based on Pranayama, or breath control. The breathing techniques that we use along with the asana poses fill the body with life energy, reminding us to refresh our nervous system.The fifth section is based on Pratyahara, withdrawal of the senses. This has to do with re-evaluating our reliance on external happiness, recognizing what doesn’t serve us and letting go of that. The sixth section is based on Dharana, or concentration: an intentional focus of the mind. This helps us to be calm and confident and to free ourselves from the chaos.The seventh section is based on Dhyana, meditation.The eighth section is based on Samadhi, or peace. This is where we realize that everything and everyone is interconnected and that we have infinite potential. It’s where we become one with reality, where we find peace.There are 365 messages: one for each day. They guide you along the path to love, joy, peace and divine grace. Each message is food for thought: an idea that you can reflect on during your quiet time as you start the day, and that you can try to apply in practice during the day. A sentence at the end of each daily message summarizes what the message is about and serves as a mantra for the day. You can start Day 1 whenever you want. You can work through the messages at your own pace. The only requirement is that you’re present when you take in the messages. On Day 365, you’ve come full circle: like the planet you’re living on, you’ve completed your journey around the Sun. And like the planets, the oceans, the suns and the moons move in never-ending cycles, you can begin again. As the last message in the book says, “To travel in the world of yoga, there are many paths which all lead you to your magnificent heart.”We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
