The Urban Tantric Yogini Explains The Ultimate Question

by Julie Wilcox

 

 

We’ve come a long way through the four major nadis of our subtle body. So where does this leave us? Why do we care so much about the nadis, about whether or not they are balanced and cleansed?  
Going back to the first piece of this series, you will recall that the nadis are our access to Samadhi. Hopefully, you are now well on the way to comprehending Samadhi. But, maybe you’re not. Samadhi is esoteric and extremely difficult to wrap one’s brains around especially if it has never before been experienced.

For those of you who are still wondering, what Samadhi is exactly, here goes. 
Samadhi is the experience of true yoga. It is when the duality of our lives ceases to exist. It is when there is no distinction between light and dark, happy and sad, sun and moon, hot and cold, up and down, black and white, here and not here, past and future, Yin and Yang, physical form and spirit, Shiva and Shakti. Samadhi is yoga; yoga is oneness, when we can experience nothing at all and all things at once. It is pure consciousness, pure unadulterated uninterrupted being.

Like a drop of rain falling back into the ocean, Samadhi is when our individual energy drifts back out into space to join the universal pool of energy. This is not bliss because bliss is a conscious experience of the mind. It is a state of thoughtlessness, stillness, floating and merging.

Samadhi is space, or in Sanskrit, kevalya. It is transcendence of a kind that cannot be articulated. It is a place of peace and calm. Shanti, shanti, shanti.
