A guided meditation on this verse: settle, breathe with its meaning, rest in silence, and carry its essence into your day.

युक्तस्वप्नावबोधस्य योगो भवति दुःखहा ||६-१७||
yuktāhāravihārasya yuktaceṣṭasya karmasu .
yuktasvapnāvabodhasya yogo bhavati duḥkhahā ||6-17||
Krishna describes the middle path: "Yoga destroys suffering for the person who is moderate — moderate in eating, in activity, in effort, in sleep, and in waking. Balance is the key."

Breathe
You find your balance You release the strain of excess

What suffering in you comes simply from being out of balance?
Take with you
Write of one balance your body or mind is asking for.
