Dhyāna, meaning meditation, is the seventh limb of Ashtāṅga Yoga. It involves maintaining a continuous flow of attention on a chosen focus, such as breath, sound, or a mantra. This uninterrupted meditation fosters mental clarity, emotional balance, and spiritual growth. Regular practice of Dhyāna reduces anxiety, enhances cognitive function, and cultivates a profound sense of inner peace. As a transformative practice, Dhyāna prepares the mind for achieving Samādhi, the ultimate goal of Yoga.
