Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Pratyahara or the ''withdrawal of the senses'' is the fifth element among the Eight stages of Patanjali''s Ashtanga Yoga, as mentioned in his classical work, Yoga Sutras of Patanjali written in 2 BCE. It is a bridge between the bahiranga (external) aspects of yoga namely, yama, niyama, asana, pranayama, and the antaranga (internal) yoga. Having actualized the pratyahara stage, a practitioner is able to effectively engage into the practice of Samyama. At the stage of pratyahara, the consciousness of the individual is internalized in order that the sensations from the senses of taste, touch, sight, hearing and smell don''t reach their respective centers in the brain and takes the sadhaka (practitioner) to next stages of Yoga, namely Dharana (concentration) and Dhyana (meditation), and Samadhi (mystical absorption), being the aim of all Yogic practices.
