8 Limbs of Meditation: Patanjali's Yoga Sutras

All forms of yogic meditation practiced today are based on the Yoga Sutras -- a 2,000-tear-old Sanskrit scripture by the ancient Indian sage Patanjali based on much older Vedic wisdom.

Asanas (poses) are only one limb.

This famous text -- translations of a set of aphorisms -- prescribes a sequence of eight specific practices, culminating in samadhi (mental coherence, concentration, super-consciousness), to reach the ultimate goal of spiritual life (moksha = liberation).
