Yoga: Posture of Meditation

The picture shows a Lady in Deep Meditation. 

Meditation, as we practice in India, is to start with "Tratak" i.e. concentrating on a point, in front of your eyes, trying to keep looking at the point till you achieve unwavering  concentration. Once you have achieved it, your Guru will guide you to the next level. Thereby going to next higher level, under the guidance of an able Guru, the ultimate stage is known as "Dhyaana" in which you merge your thinking with the almighty and start getting a feeling of oneness with the almighty i.e. where an ordinary man becomes at par with the almighty!
