All three words or phrases described here, are taken from\/recorded within The Yoga Sutras<\/em> of Patanjali.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dharnaa <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dharnaa, is a sankskript word meaning “focus” or “concentration”. It has different translations and different yogis tend to teach the concept slightly differently. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some say it relates to the focus on what you want to attain, and what you want to be. Dharnaa practice, involves concentrating on the specific subject or matter you want to focus on and become. For example, a guru might give a student a specific mantra to use, that has a specific meaning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can also practice Dharnaa by focusing on a single object, like a candle’s flame. You can also focus on the breath, or eyebrow centre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dharnaa; the ability to focus, is thought to be a fundamental skill, so you can go on to attain higher levels of focus and personal development along the yogic path (well, most paths). It’s hard to meditate for example, if you are unable to focus. Dharnaa should be the first goal, or practice before any other form of meditation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
