6. DHARANA: the sixth limb of The Yoga Sutra of Patanjali
Concentration. Dharana teaches the mind to focus on one point or image. "Concentration is binding thought in one place." -Patanjali. The objective is to still the mind to quietness by fixing your thoughts on one thing such as a candle flame, a flower, or a mantra. In dharana, concentration is effortless- there is no sense of time passing.
