dhyana (jyäˑ·n  ),n meditation, one of the eight limbs or paths of Patanjalis yoga, aimed at self-realization and self-knowledge. When the mind is no longer distracted from the object of concentration, then dhyana is realized as distinct from dharana. See also yama, niyama, asana, pranayama, pratyahara, dharana, and samadhi. |

The bite-size morsels do work, however, in describing how Dhyana Ziegler (of the historically black Florida A&M University) and these brothers arrived at their present posts how they got to play with tech they don't own. They are Yama (a practice of abstinences), Niyama (a practice of observances), Asana (poses), Pranayama (breath control), Pratyahara (sense withdrawal), Dharana (concentration), Dhyana (meditation), and Samadi (contemplation, absorption). 19) Many forms of yoga encompass 8 elements, known as the "eight-fold path" of yoga, which include yamas (moral disciplines), niyamas (self-restraint), pranayama (breath control), asanas (physical poses), pratyahara (sensory inhibition), dharana (concentration), dhyana (meditation), and samadhi (blissful state). |
