Meditation and Yoga Retreats

As a yogi, meditation has come up quite a bit in my practice over the years. My teacher has advocated for at least 1 hour of meditation time in a day, where in that hour I learn to still my mind, chant mantras and quiet the world outside so that the inner self will emerge. 

There’s a term used in psychology called Impact Bias, or our predisposition to overestimate the impact of future events in our current state.

Many people are confused when it comes to yoga and meditation. They think that these two are the same. But the truth is, they are not. When you take a closer look at it, there are many differences between yoga and meditation.

The ultra-modern world of today is marred by distractions. Our mind and body constantly run a race to meet our needs and desires. Working nonstop is the need of the hour and, if we don’t do so, our survival becomes endangered.
