Why is meditation sometimes practiced as part of yoga?
Meditation calms the mind, bringing full awareness, peace and joy among other benefits to oneself. Meditation is just sustained concentration which in fact should be practiced during any task. Nonetheless, this concentration is emphasized during any yoga practice and specially in meditation, when certainly there is nothing else to do. It is hard not to see such sustained concentration for long periods as a waste of time, but this is just a tendency of the mind, looking for more things through fear and desire, instead of looking for feeling better.
