The sixth limb of the Ashtanga Yoga, literally means 'immovable concentration of the mind' or in other words ‘holding our mind to certain points’. The essential idea is to focus our attention in one direction. By this we definitely don’t want to think of forced concentration, such as solving a complex mathematical problem. While practicing dharana, we create conditions for our mind to focus its attention in one direction instead of radiating out in a million different directions. For instance, the simpliest way we can try to reach this state by trying to feel only our hand, or by focusing our attention to a certain point in our heart. Playing with our imagination can be very helpful, like a flower or a bright lighting spot, but certainly not easy for the very first time. By keep on practicing, our mental strength increases and we can directly experience the physical and mental blocks and imbalances that remain in our system.
Daily practice of Dharana is not necessary, but for those who want to achieve progress it is recommended to practice daily under the guidance of an expert guru.
