Samadhi: The Final Limb of Yoga


Listen Later

In this final episode of our 8 Limbs of Yoga series, we arrive at the eighth and final limb: Samadhi.

Often translated as complete absorption, Samadhi represents the culmination of the yogic path: the moment when the meditator, the object of meditation, and the act of meditation itself merge into pure consciousness. In this episode, we explore what Samadhi means across yogic traditions, the deeper philosophy behind the term, and how it relates to the journey we’ve taken through the previous seven limbs.

We’ll discuss:

  • What Samadhi actually is (and what it isn’t)
  • The relationship between Dharana, Dhyana, and Samadhi
  • The stages of Samadhi described in the Yoga Sutras
  • Mystical experiences sometimes associated with deep meditation

and much more!

This episode ties the entire path of yoga together and reflects on how these practices help create the conditions for profound inner union…you don’t want to miss it!
