What will I learn

The practitioner will learn the techniques of observing Antar Mouna (Inner Silence), to control senses and fluctuations in mind through different stages of awareness and introspection.

Benefits of this course

Antar Mouna enhances daily life by fostering mindfulness, enabling practitioners to observe and manage their thoughts and emotions systematically, which aids in maintaining focus throughout daily activities and decisions.

Incorporating in my life
