Day 23 #kiwiyogini #yogachallenge . Limb VI. Dharana (Concentration and cultivating inner perceptual awareness)
Dharana means "immovable concentration of the mind". The essential idea is to hold the concentration or focus of attention in one direction. "When the body has been tempered by asanas, when the mind has been refined by the fire of pranayama and when the senses have been brought under control by pratyahara, the mind has to be stilled in order to achieve dharana- complete absorption." @nikkizr @ecostorenz @halosmith2013 @emma.mildon @wellnessretreatsnz @greenleaforganics @lululemonausnz @nuzestnz #yoga #yogini #yogaspo #yogalife #asanas #namaste #nourishyourbody #nourishyoursoul #love #happiness #activeliving #cleaneating #vegetarian #vegan #wheel #instagood #instadaily #dharmabumsactive #dharmabums
