 One of the primary points of meditation, whether that is normal meditation or yoga meditation, is to find more of the gap. Finding the spaces is not always an easy thing to achieve in one life time, let alone many lifetimes (if you are inclined to believe in reincarnation).
In this yoga meditation article, you will learn about:
