Remember The Seer: Practical Wisdom from the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali - Paperback

Who are you when the mind becomes quiet?

For more than two thousand years, the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali have offered a practical path for understanding the mind, easing suffering, and discovering the unchanging awareness that lies beneath every thought, emotion, and experience.

Yet many readers encounter these timeless teachings as philosophy to be studied rather than as a guide for everyday life.

Remember the Seer was written to bridge that gap.

Through personal stories, timeless analogies, and practical guidance, Neil Edsall shows that the deepest teachings of yoga are not separate from everyday life. They can be discovered in our relationships, our challenges, our moments of stillness, and the ordinary experiences that quietly shape who we become.

Drawing on decades of personal practice, study, and the guidance of respected teachers, Neil Edsall presents the wisdom of the Yoga Sutras through stories, practical examples, meditation, and gentle reflection that make these ancient teachings approachable, personal, and deeply relevant to modern life.

Rather than simply explaining the Yoga Sutras, this book invites readers to explore them through direct experience. Each chapter encourages practice-not merely understanding-so that the teachings become something to live rather than something to admire.

Whether you are discovering meditation for the first time or returning to deepen an established practice, Remember the Seer offers a warm, compassionate companion for the journey inward.

Inside you'll discover:

- A clear and approachable introduction to the essential teachings of the Yoga Sutras

- Simple meditation and breathing practices that support a steady daily practice

- Stories and analogies that bring timeless wisdom into everyday life

- Practical ways to work skillfully with thoughts, emotions, habits, and mental patterns

- Guidance for cultivating greater clarity, compassion, contentment, and inner peace

- An invitation to discover the awareness that yoga calls the Seer

You are not the contents of your mind.

Beneath every thought, every emotion, every success, every disappointment, and every changing role lies an awareness that has never been diminished.

The sages called it the Seer.

Peace is not something we create.

It is something we uncover.

Remember the Seer is an invitation to begin that discovery.
