The path of Yoga is not a climb toward something distant, but a refinement of what is already here.
Samadhi is the stillness that emerges when breath, body, and awareness align.

Awakening begins in softness: a root that steadies, a breath that lifts, a light that unfolds from within.

As a #dhamma practitioner in recovery from complex trauma, I am also aware caffeine stimulates the SNS and is therefore counter-productive in the pursuit of #samadhi and #insight.

Such insight and the perils of capitalism are not independent concerns. By cultivating wisdom to undermine our own sense desire (described by Buddha as the fuel for suffering), we reduce the fuel supplied to the desire machines of capitalism.

We cannot be content and endlessly productive in the same breath. 2/3 🧵

I was inspired by this, Michael Pollan's review of Coffeeland:

https://michaelpollan.com/articles-archive/review-capitalisms-favorite-drug/

Even as a #coffee drinker, I understand that this vastly profitable #psychoactive drug is a key ingredient in the fuel of industrial capitalism's #productivity engines ~ not to mention its engines of #exploitation and #colonialism, both of which are covered in the review. 1/3 🧵

Religious Ecstasy

This is a reported form of altered state of consciousness that’s characterized by greatly reduced external awareness & purportly expanded interior mental & spiritual awareness. It’s frequently accompanied by visions & emotional (& sometimes physical) euphoria.

Even though this experience is usually a brief period of time, there are records of such experiences lasting several days or even more. There are also recurring experiences of ecstasy during a person’s lifetime.

In Sufism, this is called: wajd. In Buddhism, it’s called: piti. It’s usually translated as “joy” or “rapture,” & is an element of jhana, a state of oneness with an object that 1 focuses on in meditation.

With the adjective “religious” means that the experience occurs in connection with religious activities or is interpreted in the context of a religion.

In yoga, it provides certain techniques to attain a state of ecstasy called: samadhi. Practitioners say that there are various stages of ecstasy. The highest one being Nirvikalpa samadhi. Bhakti Yoga, in particular, places emphasis on ecstasy as being 1 of the fruits of its practice.

In Buddhism, especially in the Pali Canon, there are 8 trance states, called absorption. The first 4 states are: Rupa (materially oriented). The next 4 states are: Arupa (non-material). These 8 states are preliminary trances which lead up to the final saturation. In the Visuddhimagga, lots of effort & years of sustained meditation are practiced to reach the first absorption. Not everyone can do this at all.

In monotheistic traditions, ecstasy is normally associated with communion & oneness with God. Some charismatic Christians practice ecstatic states (like “being slain in the Spirit”). They view these as being given by the Holy Spirit, or gifts of the Spirit.

However, such experiences can also be a quite personal mystical experience with no significance to anyone but the person experiencing them.

Religious ecstasy in certain Christian movements has also been seen as: squealing, shrieking, an inability to stand/sit, uttering apocalyptic prophecies, holy laughter, crying, & barking. Some have made some interesting claims of seeing “gold dust,” “angel feathers,” “holy clouds,” or precious gem stones spontaneously showing up during ecstatic worship events.

In hagiographies (writings about Christian saints), there are plenty of records in which saints are granted ecstasies. Some Modern witchcraft traditions call themselves “ecstatic traditions.” They focus on reaching ecstatic states in their rituals. The Reclaiming Tradition & the Feri Tradition are 2 modern ecstatic Witchcraft examples.

#Heijōshin (平常心), or "everyday mind", is a central #Zen concept denoting mental #equanimity that is natural, integrated, and non-dualistic. Unlike states of #samādhi or #kenshō, it emphasizes #awakening within ordinary life, challenging spiritual exceptionalism and affirming liberation in daily experience.

#Zanmai (#samādhi) in #Zen #Buddhism signifies #meditative absorption not limited to formal practice, but permeating daily life with unified, non-clinging awareness. Unlike other traditions, Zen emphasizes immediacy and non-duality, integrating samādhi into ordinary activity. Here is a brief overview of its meaning and practice in Zen.

“Like the body from within: How do you know the body from within? You know it through the breath. And the breath here is not just the air coming in and out of the lungs; it’s also the sense of energy you feel as you inhabit the body from inside—how you feel your arms and legs, your torso, your head, from inside. There’s that old Peanuts cartoon where Linus comes up to Lucy and says, ‘Feel my hands. See how cold they are.’ She touches them and says, ‘Yes, they really are cold.’ And then she asks, ‘But how do you know that they’re cold when you’re inside them?’ Her feeling of his hands from the outside, that’s her awareness of him. He’s got a different awareness of his hands. That’s where we focus our attention, that awareness from within. And for most of us, this is an area we’re not all that familiar with. We don’t have much of a vocabulary for this dimension in English.” – #ThanissaroBhikkhu

What is mindfulness?

The practice of #Buddhist #meditation
Buddhist #meditation
is to generate three kinds of energy. The first kind of energy is #Smrti; it means #mindfulness. The second is #Samadhi, #concentration. And the third is #Prajna, #insight.

“With right samādhi, no matter what level of calm is reached, there is awareness. There is full mindfulness and clear comprehension. This is the samādhi which can give rise to wisdom, one can not get lost in it. Practitioners should understand this well. You can’t do without this awareness, it must be present from beginning to end. This kind of samādhi has no danger.”—Ajahn Chah #Dhamma #Buddhism #Samadhi #Sati #Mindfulness

"I think of ‘enjoyment’ as ‘receiving joy’; and samādhi as the art of refined enjoyment. It is the careful collecting of oneself to the joy of the present moment." - Ajahn Sucitto
