THE YOGA OF ACTION:
EXPLORING KARMA YOGA IN THE BHAGAVAD GITA
with Jennifer jacobsen
Journey through the timeless wisdom of the first six chapters of the Bhagavad Gita in this transformative three-month exploration of karma yoga, the yogic path of action. This intensive series goes beyond surface understanding to examine the profound psychology of the mind, action, and spiritual transformation that lies at the heart of Krishna’s teachings.
What You’ll Explore: Discover how karma yoga teaches us the art of right action and aligned behavior when we seek to live in harmony with our Higher Self. We’ll delve into the intricate relationship between mind and action, how thoughts create our reality, how mental fluctuations (vrittis) influence our choices, and how to recognize the difference between our true Self and the movements of the mind.
You’ll learn practical methods for purifying both mind and body as vessels for spiritual awakening, while exploring how to work skillfully with prana and life energy. Through understanding how we gain and lose vitality through our actions and mental patterns, you’ll discover how to act from a place of inner stillness and maintain equanimity amid mental turbulence.
This deep study reveals how karma yoga becomes a complete path of inner purification, conscious evolution, and alignment with our highest nature, teaching us not just what to do, but how to be. Each 3-hour workshop combines scriptural wisdom with practical tools for navigating the depths of spiritual transformation.
