Form of yoga in which meditation is used?

The form of yoga that uses meditation is known as Dhyana yoga. There are many forms, it can be called Raja yoga or king of yoga. It can be call the Patanjali yoga which takes you to samadhi. Therefore the names are plenty, but we should not get worried about the name. We should understand what that form of yoga, of meditation is - it is silence. It is being able to switch off, it is being able to become the witness, the observer. That meditation which gives you Dhyana or concentration gives you consciousness, you become conscious that you are the Divine Soul. You are not the body, you observe the mind as it wanders. This is Dhyana yoga or the yoga of silent meditation.
