In this Wisdom Path Podcast, Aaravindha speaks on centering and establishing a good beginning and an effective ongoing process in your meditation.

A vital part of our success in meditation depends on a good beginning phase. It's important to remember that the human psyche is a kinetic instrument, and if it's left unchecked, it tends to search out and explore instead of focusing on your meditation. The result is that you'll have to restart your transcending process over again each time. Pratyahara is a term that is very likely familiar to many of you who have studied Raja Yoga or Ashtanga Yoga or even been in a meditation class in your yoga center. It means withdrawal or calling your awareness back in from your outer environment. It's your initial phase of internalizing your sensory awareness. We'll need that spinning down period to initiate a process of letting go and going deeper.

The key to all meditation practices always rests in thinning our awareness transcendentally through our local awareness into our non-local presence. In this podcast episode, we will learn how this is accomplished!
