Tat Tvam Asi for Inner Abundance: Developing a Yoga Therapy Healing Approach

Abstract

The present study aims to develop a yoga therapy healing approach grounded in the Vedantic principle of Tat Tvam Asi, which signifies the essential unity of the individual self with universal consciousness. Rooted in Advaita Vedanta, this principle offers a profound philosophical foundation for understanding inner abundance as a state of self-realisation, inner fulfilment, and holistic wellbeing. The study adopts a conceptual and theoretical research design, drawing from classical Vedantic texts, yoga philosophy, and contemporary therapeutic perspectives. Based on philosophical analysis and conceptual synthesis, a structured yoga therapy healing framework is proposed that integrates yogic practices, self-inquiry, and contemplative awareness. The study highlights the relevance of non-dual understanding in addressing inner conflicts, emotional imbalance, and identity-related distress. The findings suggest that integrating Tat Tvam Asi into yoga therapy can enhance its depth by moving beyond symptom management toward consciousness-based healing and inner abundance.
