🩵 Join our FREE meditation program & community: https://breathingdeeply.com/courses/meditation/ What does it really mean to do nothing while still taking action? In this episode, Brandt explores one of the most powerful philosophical concepts from the yoga tradition: action vs non-action as it is presented in the Bhagavad Gita, the Dao De Jing, the Yoga Sutras, and the Spanda Karika. This teaching invites us to act from a place of presence and spaciousness, rather than striving or attachment. Non-action is not about avoiding life. It is about being fully engaged, while staying free from ego-driven striving. By surrendering the results and aligning with a deeper sense of self, our actions become liberating rather than binding. Learn how this foundational concept can support your meditation practice and guide you toward greater clarity, peace, and inner freedom. 🙏🏼 This video is from our philosophy module in our Meditation Mentor Certification.

In this episode, learn about the 4th kosha, the vijnanamaya in the 5 kosha system. This layer of ourselves is usually referred to as our body of wisdom. This is the layer of our consciousness that sits underneath what we think of as our conscious mind. Often this kosha is associated with our intuition because the wisdom that we receive comes from a deeper place within ourselves which is in connection to the universe. When we do practices to balance this kosha, we are doing practices to remove barriers that shield us from the truth of who we are. The primary practice for this is meditation. In this episode, you will learn about the vijnanamaya kosha, what happens when it is out of balance and how we can use meditation practices as yoga therapists to help our clients bring their vijnanamaya kosha into harmony.
