"Today, I name the movement of mind."

The Sankalp

When a wave of thought rises, I name what kind it is so I do not get carried by it.

Why This Matters

Patanjali lists the vrittis — the patterns the mind moves in. Naming the pattern as it rises — worry, imagining, memory, doubt — is enough to stop being swept by it. The naming is the practice.

How to Live This Today
  1. Notice a wave beginning.
  2. Name it: worry, planning, memory, story.
  3. Stay with the name for a breath.
  4. Return to what you were doing.
