Samadhi – Divine Consciousness

Samadhi is derived from the Sanskrit, sama, meaning “together,” and dhi, meaning “mind.” Its most basic definition implies a complete state of concentration, but the spiritual significance of samadhi is much more profound and difficult to convey with words.

It certainly caught me off guard!

I do my best to describe this awakening in the video below:
