This podcast is largely a talk on, yoga, choice, action, mindfulness and meditation but includes some meditations designed to help us to become aware of choices arising. Karma Yoga is described as the yoga of action. It is an ancient Hindu philosophical concept explained in the Bhagavad-Gita and the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali. Both of these are ancient texts, written hundreds of years before the time of Christ, are deeply involved with the issue of choice, decision, action and discipline. Choice and action has become a focus for many researchers as they try to get to the bottom of why we make the choices we make. This has gained significant funding and If an active area of research on behalf of commercial enterprises, political parties, and various other organisations seeking to benefit from an understand of the nature of choice. It is now possible to take this ancient wisdom and this research, much of which is largely accepted by the scientific community, to understand the interaction of thought, emotion, habit, and instinct in modern human experience. It is entirely possible to observe this process of choice operating while meditating as you can see if you listen to this episode.
