Dharana

Dharana is a practice from yoga that involves focusing your mind intently on a single point or object, such as your breath, a mantra, or an image. The goal is to train your concentration, reducing mental distractions and cultivating a steady, clear mind. It’s like turning down the noise in your thoughts so you can observe and understand your mental patterns more deeply. Over time, Dharana helps develop mental discipline and prepares the mind for deeper states of meditation, fostering greater clarity, calmness, and self-awareness.
