Inner Silence - From Outer To Inner

In the Tantric tradition of self-realization, this practice called Antar Mouna or "Inner Stillness" sets the stage to move one's awareness from the outer environment to the workings of one's inner mind to cultivate a state of inner silence. Through the powers of observation and neutrality, expand your awareness to 'what is' and then practice allowing what arises in the inner or outer world, without clinging, analyzing, or avoiding.
