"Today, I interrupt the old pattern with its opposite."

Daily Sankalp · Spiritualgrowth · Beginner
The Sankalp

I do not keep feeding the groove that makes the mind smaller. I introduce a cleaner current when I notice the old one rising.

Pratipaksha bhavana in the Yoga Sutras means cultivating the opposite when harmful patterns arise. It is retraining, not denial.

✦
  1. catch the harmful pattern early
  2. name the cleaner opposite
  3. take one action aligned with it
  4. repeat before the old groove hardens
  • weakens harmful habits
  • strengthens positive patterning
  • reduces spiraling
  • builds inner agency
