Dhyana is the 7th limb of yoga, based upon asana (physical posture), pranayama (breath control), pratyahara (control of the senses, and shifting the focus to the inside), and dharana (concentration). The word 'dhyana' is derived from the Sanskrit word 'dhyai', which means "to think of." In Dhyana meditation, the concentration is on a point of focus with the intention of knowing the truth about it. This deeper concentration of the mind is believed to be at the core of self-knowledge where one can separate illusion from reality, and eventually, reach the ultimate goal of yoga: samadhi (bliss, or union with the source).
