“We settle back into the body, into the awareness of the body, and we allow the tensions and the knots, we allow them to unfold. We create the space, we create the space of awareness in which they will unwind. And this becomes a great healing process.” – Joseph Goldstein

In this episode, Joseph talks about:

Understanding the meaning of the quality of samadhi, which is also known as concentration
How the development of samadhi is the cultivation of embodied presence
How ethical conduct is the foundation of samadhi
Different ways to cultivate and deepen the quality of samadhi, including through direct awareness of a single object and through an open, choiceless awareness
The many methods he has used in his own practice to develop samadhi, including slowing down and being mindful of your body movement
Ways we can contemplate the body both internally and externally, which can help us understand how our practice is for the benefit and welfare of all beings
