Question & Answer

Ambika:

Namaste

You often advise students to thread the practice of the Yoga of Sound, Nada Yoga, into all aspects of your life.

How do I grow my practice of connecting with nada, while in practice, to be able to hear it in everyday life?

For example, right now, as I text you, how do I stay connected to and listen to nada?

I think I understand, but it’s sometimes hard to stand in both places (meaning in the world, as a person, and in witness consciousness listening to nada).

I understand the concept, the experience of not thinking.

I also understand that the yogic world and the ‘regular’ world are separate, and that I must integrate yogic wisdom into manifest life.

So my question is how do I do that with nada?

Thank you for your question.

To approach what you’re asking, the first thing to understand is that the question is being posed from the point of view of one identified with the body and mind. This is one reason that you are confused, and why you perceive “two worlds” i.e., the manifest world and the spiritual world. From the point of view of wisdom, there aren’t two worlds there’s only one and that’s what I’m asking you to feel, smooth out, and come to understand.
