The various concepts of Dhyana (meditation) and its practice originated in the Vedic era and have been influenced over the ages by Buddhism, Hinduism and Jainism. The practice of meditation is one of the key tools that helps harmonize the mind and also tap into the full potential of the 'higher mind'. By overcoming negative tendencies, it helps harmonize the whole personality and gives an overall sense of calm. Daily meditation discussions include practicing techniques of pratyahara (withdrawal of the senses from the mind), followed by dharana (mental awareness) which help to relax, concentrate and build internal awareness leading to dhyana (continued awareness). Topics related to the philosophy of yoga, the structures of the yogic system, the yogic and meditative lifestyle, the positive effects of mantras (sound vibrations) and self-study are discussed during these sessions. Daily personalized Pranayama sessions promote breathing techniques that lead to control of pranas (energy) and the mind. Personalized yoga sessions focus on asanas accompanied by an awareness of one's energy.
