"YOGA CITTA VRTTI NIRODHAH"

Pronounced "Chitta Vritti Nirodahah"

"Chitta"=mind, "Vritti"=disturbances, "Nirodahah"=to quiet or restrain.

This is the second sutra in Patanjali's Yoga Sutras. Loosly translated it's "to quiet the fluctuations of the mind."

It is thought that the goal of all yoga regardless of style or level is liberation. Liberation of mind through the eight limbed path.

YOGI TIDBIT TO TRY:

Next time you feel your blood boiling, repeat this sutra to yourself out loud in a rhythmic fashion.
