Principles of Meditation & Yoga

Meditation is a discipline used to reach a deeper state of awareness by observing the mind. It’s the seventh of the classical eight limbs of yoga, followed only by Samadhi, the state of supreme bliss and oneness with the universe. That’s pretty enticing! All around the world, there are different styles and practices of meditation, all with different aims. Nevertheless, the ultimate and universal "goal" of yoga is to attain self-realization.

Meditation is a vital aspect of yoga that goes back thousands of years. The Upanishads, a collection of yoga philosophies dating back to around 500 BCE, defines yoga as a practice of holding back the senses to unite with one’s supreme state of being. The Hindu story, The Bhagavad Gita, dating from around from 200 BCE, conveys the message that meditation is important in overcoming suffering. Even the sage Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras, written around 150 BCE, define yoga as "Yogas Citta Vritti Nirodhah." This Sanskrit phrase translates to "the restraint of the modifications of the mind."
