Subtle Mind by Denise Griffin

BKS Iyengar in “Light on Life” says “ the yogic definition of Mind is both physical and subtle; it includes the entire body, the nervous system, the five senses and the five organs of action which it controls through which it acts. Mind is the eleventh sense and it is effectively our human-computer.

The four aspects of the mind which are illustrated on this mat are: Citta - Your cloud storage, Manas- your data processing, Ahamkara - your identity and Buddhi - your quality control.

The fifth image is my interpretation of the Subtle Mind. It is my hope is to take you on a journey to self-awareness through the images used in a beautiful book, written by Judy Weaver, on our Subtle Mind. Through asanas (yoga postures), breath work (pranamaya) and mantras we can begin to move away from fear and towards the rhythm of our soul which is peace and freedom- from- fear.

Lovingly,

Denise
