Nischala Joy Devi, author of Meditation in the Yoga Tradition and The Secret Power of Yoga, returns to offer J a yogic perspective on meditation and a practical application of Patañjali’s Yogasūtras. She discusses the concept of “dynamic stillness,” the difference between consciousness and mind, residing in the heart instead of controlling the mind, thinking of ashtanga yoga as facets rather than limbs, defining Dharana-Dhyana-Samadhi as states that cannot be practiced, and nurturing a sustained steady rhythm and a dedicated heart.

0:00.0	All right, here we are wherever you are right now, doing whatever you are right now,
0:16.6	doing whatever you're doing, and I'm here talking into a microphone, and those two instances have come
0:25.6	together. This is Jay Brown Yoga Talks podcast. My name is Jay Brown. How's everyone? Are you new?

1:19.2	and the itinery is really up in the air,
1:22.2	I don't know where I'm going to be, and I'm worried that I'm not going to be able to do it.
1:25.1	So I've got time right now, and I'm doing it right now.
1:28.8	It's the day after Super Tuesday.
1:30.5	And once again, I'm just profoundly scratching my head.
1:36.6	I don't understand.
1:39.5	Were we not all watching the last six weeks when Biden was completely imploding?
1:43.5	And now we're just
1:44.5	supposed to believe he's her guy? It's crazy. It's crazy. Listen, I know everybody doesn't agree
1:54.6	with me. Maybe not all of you are Bernie supporters. In fact, I know not all of you are Bernie
1:59.6	supporters, but I'm just asking to educate yourself.
