In this blog post, I will briefly outline Patanjali’s 8 steps that lead to fulfilled lives and balanced minds. The 8 steps are the virtues of good conduct, practicing certain observances and austerities, and the practice of physical posture, controlled breathing, withdrawal of the senses, concentration, meditation, and reaching a super-conscious state.

Through the practice of Raja Yoga, you can learn to control the body, mind, and senses, and change negative thought patterns by directing the mind to a view situations in a more positive manner.  Practicing these 8 steps allows you to develop a strong will and a controlled mind, and will help you to live a more balanced and fulfilled life. I will give a more detailed explanation of the 8 steps in my next blog.
