Samadhi is often defined as the thing itself, the reality and essence of everyone and everything. You are experiencing samadhi when you focus so intently on the object of meditation that you become aware of its essence. You lose awareness of the passage of time and of the room and body you occupy. You may also awaken to the peace, joy, love or light of your true self.
Explore the progressive levels of bhavas (moods of love) as well as the different types of samadhis to find the samadhi most natural for you. The ego cannot cause samadhi — but it does need to get out of the way. Always remember that samadhi is a gift from Spirit, not a personal achievement.
To experience samadhi one needs to still the body and prana so that one’s awareness can flow to Spirit. The project of meditation is to give our awareness to more and more subtle objects until we dwell in the soul, the Spirit within.
Samadhi, the awareness of the thing itself, starts at a gross sense level and moves progressively to very subtle objects until finally we have awareness of soul — who we are and what is what.
We ask you to commit two hours a week to selfless service. This service can be anything you choose ranging from helping a family member or neighbor to volunteering at a nonprofit organization.
This commitment is solely between you and your inner self.
