Dhyana is normally translated as meaning meditation, but there are many forms of meditation and to simply call dhyana meditation is an over simplification of dhyana’s true implication.

Moon meditation or Trataka, also known as Tratak (pr. trah’-tahk), Trataka means fixed gazing. The object you gaze upon can be just about anything, and Trataka played a major role in Yoga before postures and breathing exercises began to dominate the system in the early 1800’s.
