Yay! We've made it to the eighth and final limb of Ashtanga Yoga! And it is worth celebrating! Samadhi is what all living beings are moving towards. It is sublime beyond description; beyond the mind to grasp. It transcends all ordinary sensory experiences as well as time, space, and causation. Samadhi cannot be taught, but it remains before us as the ultimate goal. "When the object of meditation engulfs the meditator, appearing as the subject, self-awareness is lost. This is samadhi" (Yoga Sutra III.3).
There were a shocking number of hits on yesterday's blog, so I'm assuming you are all interested in meditation! And so... I think I am going to start putting up a weekly mediation technique once we get through some basic theory!
