Samyama Is Simple - Yogi Explains

Summary

, 9 min

Samyama explained as concentration, absorption and union becoming one. Concentration cannot be forced; clarity emerges from slow breathing and HRV resonance, absorption grows from unhooking from body and story, and union, or samadhi, blossoms out of absorption, each stage arising from the one before.
