Meditation is a powerful tool to focus and calm the mind.
In yoga, meditation is known as dhyāna – meaning contemplation or reflection. Dhyāna is a process of focusing the mind so the mind flows as a steady stream toward the point of focus.
The benefits of meditation are vast and individual and there is extensive scientific research documenting extensive benefits from regular meditation including:
- Reducing stress
- Improving sleep
- Reducing anxiety

However, the most powerful benefits are going to be the benefits you directly experience from your meditation practice.
Meditation can take many forms, it might be done sitting, moving, reclining or standing.
