'''Dharana''' means to retain the breath for lomger time.
== '''Formation''' == *This [[Mudra]] has three stages.
#Start inhaling with the thumb tips pressing the tip of the index finger. This helps in retention of the breath for longer time.
#Next press the middle part of the thumb and keep on inhaling for some more time. Retention of breath is still longer.
#Then press the base part of the thumb and retention of the breath can be still longer.
== '''Effect''' Effects==
The lungs get more oxygen by retention of breath.
== '''Benefit''' Benefits== The longer the breath the more is the oxygenation of the body resulting in pure blood and a stronger body. To a large extent, practising this mudra reduces the total number of breaths in the day. This is turn, increases longevity.<ref name="Mudras & health perspectives"/>
