The only thing that holds us down is what we don't yet know about ourselves.

Primordial Sound Meditation

by Dr. David Simon

According to the ancient tradition of yoga, from which Primordial Sound Meditation is derived, we are multi-faceted beings. One of the most influential teachers of the philosophy of yoga and Vedic science was the ninth-century sage Adi Shankara. Shankara categorized these layers of life into three primary divisions - a physical body, a subtle body and a causal body. We can also say body, mind, and soul. We live simultaneously on these different levels. Meditation is a technology that benefits body, mind and soul.

The Physical Body
We have a physical body, which is comprised of matter and energy. Within your physical domain, you have an extended body, a personal body, and an energetic body. Becoming more conscious of the choices we make to engage the world by minimizing toxicity and maximizing nourishment is the key to a healthy physical body.
