Yoga and Meditation.

The two words are sometimes used interchangeably. In terms of the meanings of the two words, the word "meditation" is wider than the word "yoga." It is possible to meditate about something merely by musing about it or thinking about it. It is also possible to restrict the word "meditation" to refer to a breathing (spiritual) practice such as zazen meditation. Since yoga is a disciplined method for uniting the mind, zazen meditation (as well as other kinds of breathing practices) are kinds of yoga. Therefore, the meanings of the words overlap, but "meditation" has a wider connotation.
