032. “Snake?!” …

In our discussions about the Yoga Sutras and vrittis, we delve into the intricacies of the mind and its role in shaping our perceptions of reality.

Despite the yogic context, this podcast is accessible to all, including those who may not identify as yogis. Even individuals like Jeff's brother Tim, who might harbor skepticism towards yoga, can find value in the insights shared.

For those new to the podcast, starting from the beginning is recommended, providing a comprehensive foundation for understanding the concepts explored.

One such concept is viparyaya, which involves the misinterpretation of sensory input, leading to erroneous conclusions. Jeff illustrates this with a personal anecdote from his time in Yoga Thailand, where a coiled water hose was mistaken for a snake—a classic example of how the mind can twist sensory information, leading to false perceptions.
