Everything about Pratyahara totally explained
Pratyahara is the fifth element among the Eight stages of
Patanjali's
Ashtanga Yoga. At this stage, 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. It is also termed as the 'withdrawal of the senses'. With this, the
Sadhaka, or
disciple, is free to
meditate without distractions.
At the advanced levels, the electrical currents which pulsate through the nerves and even the involuntary muscles are turned off by the practitioners. This is accomplished through
Pranayama or breath-control.
Apart from Pranayama, another device that's used to aid in the development of Pratyahara is to concentrate on the point between the eyebrows. This location is known as
Ajna Chakra or the third eye.
