LAST CLASS IN HOUSTON! - Discovery Green Hatha and Raja Yoga - Yoga at the Park 8-12-2017
Yoga Sutra 3.7: Here, Patanjali expands that the trinity (known as the state of Samaya mentioned in 3.4 through 3.6 - meaning concentration, meditation, and samadhi, together) are the internal disciplines. Thus, the first 5 limbs are external and the final 3 are internal. The 5th limb (Pratyahara) is the threshold between the external and internal world. Our deeper levels of consciousness are developed only through the internal phase of practice.
Yoga Sutra 3.8: And now... We are given the highest state of Yogic wisdom known in Sanskrit as Nirbeeja Samadhi. Nirbeeja means ‘without seed’. This is the most advanced state mentioned thus far and is basically meditation so deep that there is no content at all, nothing, the void, only pure consciousness shines.
Applying the Sutra: Reflect on all of the 8 limbs, refine each one, and repeat the steps that are not mastered, go slowly, and look within, over and over again. You are peace.
