Samatha — calm abiding

Samatha is the deliberate cultivation of mental stability and ease through sustained attention, typically anchored to the breath or a single object. When the mind settles and stops chasing thoughts, perception becomes clearer and the nervous system naturally calms, creating the ground from which insight can actually take root.
