What is Self-Inquiry?

Have you ever fallen into sadness, anger or anxiety and found it difficult to shift yourself? Are your relationships difficult and you don’t know how to fix them? Have you ever found yourself brooding about the past or fearing the future and not living in the present? If these inner world states sound familiar you are certainly not alone. Without the right strategies the mind can easily become susceptible to negative patterns.

Self-inquiry is a time-honoured yogic practice for investigating the inner world and learning how to uplift thought and feeling.
