D'vine Yoga
D'vine means brahman, the absolute, the supreme reality, or higher consciousness. Yoga means union, to be one in order to merge with the higher consciousness, allowing your individual self to dissolve into the higher universal self. It means to be aware of your lower and higher tendencies in order to be aware of individual and universal dimensions of yourself.
D’vine yoga is an inner journey:
- From confliction to connection
- From reaction to response
- From duality to non-duality
- From individual self to transcendental self
- From darkness (tamas) to light (sattva)
- From ignorance to wisdom
- From lower-self to higher-self
- From close being to openness
- From small mind to big mind
- From meditativeness to equanimity
