Where attention goes, energy flows, and I think that this is really important when you pair it with the concept of drishti.
Ever feel like your mind is running a marathon, leaving you exhausted and scattered? In this episode of the Luminous Recovery Yoga Podcast, Kari Doherty introduces the concept of drishti, a yogic practice that could be the answer to your mental chaos. Drishti, which means 'gaze' in Sanskrit, is all about setting a focused stare during yoga poses to anchor your mind and bring you back to the present moment.
Kari shares how this simple yet powerful technique has helped her both on the yoga mat and in everyday life. She dives into how directing your gaze can quiet the mental chatter, enhance mindfulness, and boost self-awareness. It's not just about where you look; it's about where you place your attention and energy. Throughout the episode, Kari offers practical tips on incorporating drishti into your yoga routine and recovery journey.
She explains how to find a focal point and use it to stay grounded during challenging poses or stressful situations. Kari also bridges the gap between yogic philosophy and twelve-step recovery wisdom, showing how drishti can be a tool for anyone seeking to cultivate a more focused and present life. Whether you're new to yoga or a seasoned practitioner, Kari's insights are relatable and easy to apply.
Tune in to learn how this ancient practice can help you navigate both your yoga practice and life's ups and downs with greater clarity and calm.
