Upper 4 Limbs of Yoga – Day 13 – 2021 – Samadhi – Enlightenment / Integration

Happy Meditation March 16, 2022 – Samadhi (Enlightenment / Integration)

Good Morning Yogis! This is the last day of our series on the Upper Limbs of Yoga.

Bonus Daily Meditation Challenge

We have a bonus daily meditation challenge for March. Learn about Samadhi and try today’s positive practice suggestion or a meditation of your choice!

Samadhi (Enlightenment / Integration)

As we have discussed, the upper limbs build upon all four of the previous limbs, and sequentially upon each other. These practices are all meditation focused and must truly be attained on your own. The true purpose of Daily Yogi is to water and nourish the lower roots of the tree, to support your own personal “innermost journey” in the upper limbs. We started a series on each of the upper limbs, and covered Pratyahara, Dharana, and Dhyana. The last three limbs – Dharana, Dhyana, and Samadhi are often referred to as the “innermost quest” and studied together.

Samadhi is the 8th and final Limb of Yoga, and is literally translated as “integration”. Many consider Samadhi to be enlightenment. This is typically the final goal of meditation in some Eastern religions and philosophies – enlightenment. I consider Samadhi to be not only the final Limb of Yoga, but a synonym for Yoga. Samadhi is “integration” and yoga is “union” so I feel these are two words for the same goal. As we have discussed, this is a journey.

Today’s Positive Practice suggestion

Today’s Daily Yogi Practice is to try a Meditation Practice of your choice for Upper Limbs Day. You can try our breath-focused meditation, or another guided meditation of your choice.
