Withdrawal of the senses (Pratyahara) is the fifth of the eight limbs of Yoga
It is advisable to listen to "The Yoga Sutras" episode before you listen to this one.
When we withdraw the senses, we're not trying to switch the senses off, we are just becoming attuned to the subtle. Easier said than done in this over-stimulating world we live in because there's so much information being fed to our brains all day, every day.
In this episode Jo explores why we sometimes feel discomfort when we try to withdraw our senses. It takes practice to "switch off" and ground yourself.
