The Fifth Niyama: Ishvara Pranidhana (Surrender/Devotion to God)
Surrendering requires choosing to listen to the Divine and allowing the higher purpose to direct our lives so that we become one with the flow. In this audio Rupert Spira’s talk, Allowing is what we are, not what we do is referred to, and we practiced a 20-minute yoga nidra/savasana – the posture of surrender. Other readings: Jason Shulman, The Instruction Manual for Receiving God, and Richard Miller’s Yoga Nidra.
