Coming From Behind the Mind

Summary

, 9 min

A martial demonstration of coming from behind: a punch is redirected from behind the elbow rather than caught from the front. The same principle is applied to meditation. Instead of fighting the mind head on, the yogi works through the breath and body, lowering their idle with heart rate variability resonant breathing so the mind calms.
