# 2009 -18

## Title:

Practice: Conscious or Unconscious, Meditation or Addiction

## Description:

In this clipping taken from Patanjali [Yoga](https://nithyanandapedia.org/wiki/Yoga.md) Sutras discourses, Paramahamsa Nithyananda talks about abhyasa or practice. He talks about two kinds of practice we do in our daily lives to reach the state of restful awareness. When done consciously it is meditation; when it happens unconsciously, it leads to addiction.
