Dharana & Dhyana: Focus, Flow, and the Heart of Meditation

Today you’re getting a two-for-one as we unpack Dharana and Dhyana, the sixth and seventh limbs of yoga. These two branches are are deeply intertwined, with one leading directly into the other. And together they form the foundation of what we commonly call meditation.We’ll explore why attention is becoming such a rare resource in the modern age, different meditation techniques from the Yoga Sutras to today, and how to choose the right focal point for your unique mind.Then we’ll shift into Dhyana — what happens when concentration deepens into an unbroken flow of awareness — and I’ll share some personal experiences to help bring this abstract idea to life and show how it can unexpectedly arise both on and off the mat.A practical, grounded exploration of these deceptively simple limbs, and the pathway from focus to flow.Join the On the Mat studio! https://onthemat.mykajabi.comFollow Leah on Instagram: @onthematwithleah
