Discover the transformational power of yogic meditation—a practice that goes beyond mindfulness to help you access your innate inner genius and source of creative inspiration.

Both mindfulness meditation and yoga practice have reached such a level of popularity that they have revolutionised how we think about tending to the health and well-being of ourselves, our families, our patients, students, and co-workers. But meditation done through a yogic framework goes beyond mindfulness. It not only gives you specific tools for improving health and creating emotional balance, but also offers you an experience beyond the sense-focused mind.

It allows you to access atman, your unbound intelligence, or what the authors refer to as your innate genius. Accessing atman allows you to go beyond the limits of mindfulness to reach a deep source of creativity and inspiration within you—and connects you to your true purpose and direction in life.
