Developing A Focused Mind

We start by slowly withdrawing the senses from the external to become aware of our body and our inner world - pratyahara. Awareness of the breath is used to develop concentration, one pointed focus - dharana. We cultivate these two limbs of yoga.

For me this meditation shows the nature of my mind, its narratives and impulses. I can be the witness to it all from a place of presence in body.

Suggested posture: Sitting. Use this to start a longer practice of breath awareness.
