Yin Meditation: Exploring Stillness (Episode 14)

The peace in the heart of these still states provides a balm to stress and anxiety. There is a profound relief and well-being that often accompanies these states. And frequently, when you experience them, there is a blooming of faith that something significant and important is developing in your meditation practice. And one of the truly wonderful aspects of a Yin approach to meditation is that internal stillness happens rather frequently on its own.

In this episode, I talk about the meditative experience of stillness in a few different ways. I consider the difference between what I call external stillness that is stillness of your body during meditation, and internal stillness that is the experience of quietude and calm. And I'll be talking about these experiences in terms of what they are felt like and the particular function that they serve in the development of your practice of Yin Meditation.
