The 8 Limbs: Dhyana

Dhyana is really an extension of dharana and has been defined by Patanjali as the uninterrupted flow of concentration of the mind on the object of meditation or concentration. The depth of concentration in dhyana is far greater than in dharana, and It’s through the regular and continual practice of concentration that dhyana spontaneously manifests itself. It’s the mental state achieved when we are no longer aware of our own subjective or objective experiences.
