Dhyana means meditation. It comes from the Sanskrit roots:  dhi or Dhya, which means to inquire, deep examination, contemplation or reflection. At a more general or intellectual level, it can be described as ‘to think’.

​

In the Vedic thought, dhi refers to the mind and its ability to think, to discern. Dhyana is the fruit of a beautiful process that has provided the foundation for a peaceful and quiet mind to unfold. Dhyana or meditation is not simply holding a relax or peaceful mind. It is a process that requires discipline, courage, and commitment. Different from forcing the mind to stay still. It is a stage of mind and spirit that had bloomed effortlessly to live in constant awareness, awake and alert but at an unshakable peace at the core of one’s existence.
