In this episode of Deepen Your Yoga Practice, Lauren Leduc explores the question: “What is meditation?” Drawing from personal experience and classical yogic philosophy, she breaks down common misconceptions, explains the difference between Dharana and Dhyana, and offers accessible ways to integrate meditative awareness into daily life. Lauren emphasizes that meditation is not about stopping thoughts or sitting in silence for hours, but rather cultivating presence, self-compassion, and inner clarity. Whether you’re new to meditation or deepening your practice, this episode offers grounding insights, journaling prompts, and inspiration for everyday mindfulness. Key Takeaways •Meditation is sustained attention and awareness—not the absence of thought. •Most of what we call “meditation” today is actually Dharana (concentration). •Meditation can look like walking, breathing, or even truly listening. •You don’t need to be spiritual, calm, or perfectly still to begin. •It’s normal for the mind to wander—returning to focus is the practice. •Yogic meditation is rooted in Patanjali’s 8-limbed path and supported by texts like the Bhagavad Gita. •Meditation is a form of radical presence, self-love, and nervous system regulation. •Modern life benefits from small, intentional moments of mindfulness. •Incorporating short, focused rituals daily (e.g., breath awareness or mantra) can build a sustainable practice. •Journaling, yoga, and teacher training can all support meditation exploration. Sound Bites •“Meditation is not about having no thoughts—it’s about observing them with compassion.” •“Dharana is the effort. Dhyana is the fruit.” •“It’s okay if your meditation doesn’t feel peaceful. That’s part of the process.” •“Meditation is radical presence. It meets you where you are.” Journal Prompts 1.What is one belief I’ve held about meditation that I can let go of? 2.How can I make space for even two minutes of presence each day?   Follow Lauren on Instagram True Love Yoga on Instagram True Love Yoga- Book a Class!
