In this episode, Michael investigates Chapter 4 of the Yoga Sutra, focusing on the concept of Samadhi, a state of meditative consciousness. Discover how Patanjali presents samadhi as both a process and a state that can arise through various avenues. Michael discusses how though integral to yoga, samadhi is not the ultimate goal but rather one of the eight interconnected limbs of the practice. Recorded March 09, 2007.
