This practice is a stepping stone between the physically orientated and the mental practices that lead to higher states of awareness. It is therefore seen to be a bridge between hatha yoga and raja yoga.

Antar Mouna
- The meditation of Inner Silence

- The meditation of Inner Silence
Details to come
"Mouna"
means silence, with "antar" refering to the inner realm. Therefore
'antar mouna' is a technique that helps us experience the true state of
inner silence.
First we are allowed to observe tangible things such as the external environment and our body. Our observation then leads us to experience the inner noise of the chattering mind. Through this technique the inner chatter starts to quieten down until we can actually see and experience the silence beyond the noise, the space of our true self.
To truelly come into contact with the experience of the silent space, gives us a refreshing and transformative view of our own inner world, as we realise we no longer have to be at the mercy of our own thoughts and feelings.
Antar mouna is regarded as the first step in attaining permenant inner understanding along the path of meditation and Self enquiry.
