This podcast is from an old webinar by Swami Sita.  Swamiji shares that karma means action and comes from our desires.  Our actions from the past will result in our present situation.  We have an inner conflict and need to choose the path that won't bind us to karma.  The yoga guidelines of yamas and niyamas are essential to be free from karma.  

In this podcast, Swami Sita teaches from the book Crest Jewel of Discrimination written by Adi Sankaracharya.  Sankara describes the need for devotion in order to experience truth and freedom.  We have to learn to have discernment between what is helping us and what is not.  By practicing right thinking we can cultivate an inner power / knowledge.  Our current state is that we are lost in an ocean of worldliness where we only see external things.  But we need to remember the Self and have the power of discrimination / discernment.  It is like a snake / rope where what we are seeing is not real, and we need the light to see correctly.

In this talk, Swami Sita explains the concept of Prana as vital energy or life force.  Swamiji tells us the 5 things we can do with prana: increase, conserve, balance, channel, purify.  She then explains how we can increase prana and not lose prana from the 5 elements of nature: earth, water, fire, air, and ether.  Swamiji gives many practical examples that are very useful for us in our daily life.

This podcast is a webinar by Swami Sita from 2013 on steps to peace of mind and how it is like a lake with waves.  There are countless thoughts which come from inside of us and also from outside influence.  We must understand how powerful the mind is.  If we are able to quiet the mind it is like seeing to the bottom of a clear lake.

In this podcast Swami Sita introduces us to the concept of living an integral Yoga Life.  Many people start practicing yoga asanas but as one continues to practice one also starts making changes to their life. We become more aware of the way we feel and how that is connected to our breath, our ability to relax, what we eat, and what we think.  We come to a point where what we want is health, well-being, and peace of mind.
