These sources collectively explore the interconnectedness of yoga and meditation, highlighting their individual practices and combined benefits. One source, from Yoga Journal, provides a beginner's guide to meditation, defining it within a yogic context and outlining various techniques, postures, and the physiological advantages, such as stress reduction and improved brain activity. Another academic paper emphasizes breath-based meditation's role in restoring physiological and cognitive reserves for optimal human performance, noting its positive impact on conditions like PTSD and various bodily systems.
