Term: raja yoga
| DEFINITIONS |
Raja Yoga: Achieving union with the Divine (“yoga”) through meditation. The name means that this is the royal (“Raja”) form of yoga. The method is very precise and begins with the practice of the positions in hatha yoga. Then breathing techniques are followed. Next, attention is turned inward, withdrawing the senses from their experience of the world. This is followed by concentration on something such as the tip of the nose, becoming one with the object of concentration, and then finally, leading to a type of cosmic consciousness. One of the four major yogic paths.
