Pratyahara (Withdrawal of Senses)


Pratyahara is the fifth step of Yoga. Pratyahara is the Withdrawal and emancipation of the mind from the domination of the senses, and sensual object. Pranayama, Pratyahara and Dharana are parts of the Yoga of knowledge. This is a discipline to bring the mind and sense under control, controlling the external and internal senses which effect the equanimity and peace of mind. Years of discipline and long uninterrupted practice of the moral and ethical principles of yama and niyama, training of the body by asanas and pranayama, restraint of the senses by pratyahara and dharana, ensure the growth of the mind and of inner awareness _dyana and samadhi.
