Svadhyaya

Svadhyaya refers to the practice of self-study or self-reflection, often undertaken through the study of sacred texts, introspection, and contemplation. It is one of the Niyamas (observances) in yoga, emphasizing the exploration and understanding of one’s inner self, thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors. Svadhyaya encourages individuals to engage in continuous learning and personal growth by delving into spiritual teachings, scriptures, and philosophical texts that inspire wisdom and insight. Through Svadhyaya, practitioners cultivate self-awareness, clarity of mind, and spiritual evolution, integrating knowledge gained into daily life to foster inner harmony and alignment with higher truths.
