Thoughts determine your destiny - Mind distinguished between Human beings & other creatures. Explore Yoga in terms of Pramana, Viparyaya, Vikalpa, Nidra, Smriti and Watch how your mind takes on by trying this exercise for about half-an-hour a week.

A time for yourself
You can try this exercise for about half-an-hour a week.
1. Sit down in a comfortable place.
2. Keep a notebook and pen beside you. You may keep your eyes closed.
3. Once you settle down, you will be able to watch the steady flow of thoughts.
4. Watch if the thoughts are angry, depressed, hateful, sorrowful, jealous, morbid or tragic.
5. Do not interpret those thoughts as good or bad. Simply observe them and write them down. Most often, your mind wanders when you are doing something or listening to someone. This is totally unconnected with the present moment. Watch how your mind takes on such flights of fancy. Plain awareness can help bring the mind back to the present moment. This way you train yourself to get what’s commonly known as ‘presence of mind’. Coutesy - Samachar
