#1 – What are Yoga and Meditation?

This podcast episode describes what yoga and meditation are, how meditation is both a technique and a state of being, and how meditation is a process of self-discovery that unfolds in stages.

The stages of meditation are described in detail, including the stage of relaxation and introversion, the stage of concentration, the true meditative state, and the state of absorption into cosmic consciousness culminating in self-realization.

The benefits of meditation are also described, as well as the types of meditation that Big Shakti offers to support you in moving through the various stages.
