“There is a voice inside of you, that whispers all day long,

‘I feel that this is right for me, I know that this is wrong’. 

No teacher, preacher, parent, friend or wise man can decide

What’s right for you – just listen to the voice that speaks inside.” 

– Shel Silverstein

Śruti Anubhāva is the awakening to the wisdom teachings of the heart, whispered to us through direct experience on the sacred path of Sādhana. Through our Sādhana, or daily spiritual practice, we open ourselves to listening for this wisdom and come to discern between the voice of Truth and the voice of the ego.

The initial phase of inner listening is known as Śravaṇa, where we must be open and willing to connect with wisdom consciousness, the calling of the Soul and the truth of who we are. This leads us to the stage of thoughtful reflection, Manana, and finally to the quiet contemplation of Nididhyāsana where our refuge into silence holds us in sacred presence. The whispers of wisdom can only be communicated through direct experience, Anubhāva – which simply means, “to know the truth, is to experience the truth”.

“Practice listening to your intuition, your inner voice; ask questions; be curious; see what you see; hear what you hear; and then act upon what you know to be true. These intuitive powers were given to your soul at birth.” – Clarissa Pinkola Estés

Deep inner listening takes practice, perseverance, openness, empathy and faith. It requires an inquisitive nature open to the knowing that the Soul carries with it wisdom engraved into the Saṃskāra of time; available to us if we take the time to listen. Ultimately the teachings ask us to Trust ourselves and remember that our heart and Soul already hold all the answers we need. They ask that we take the time out from our busy lives to listen to what matters most and what is true. Essentially, they ask us to come Home.

In our Śruti Anubhāva Yoga Intensive, Emma Palmer will guide you on a voyage of inner discovery to experience your own whispers of wisdom that sit in the pockets of stillness. Through an intuitively crafted Vinyāsa Krama of Āsana, Prāṇāyāma, Mudrā, Dhyāna (meditation), Prārthanā (prayer), Mantra (chanting) and an immersive guided Śavāsana of sound healing – all infused with the rich Yogic Philosophy of Śruti Anubhāva – we will consciously move Prāṇa through the forty-nine winds of energy (or Vāyu) and journey deep within to where the echoes of the heart’s teachings reside.
