Emotional Management
Emotions bind us. We struggle under their grasp, at times to the point of suffocation. How does one learn to manage the constant ebb and flow and storms and upheavals that happen at regular intervals? How does one learn to seek the constant and not be whisked away with the tide? Sri Ramana Maharishi’s Upadesha Saram gives us practical tools for understanding the nature of the mind and methods to resolve into a larger awareness. It shows us how to develop space between ourselves and our thoughts, thereby releasing us from our bondage to sadness.
