WA School of Yoga - Meditation

BKS Iyengar, in Light on the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, desribes meditation as follows:

The characteristic feature of meditation (dhyana) is the maintenance of an uninterrupted flow of attention on a fixed point or region, without intervention. In dhyana, psychological and chronological time come to a standstill as the mind observes its own behaviour. The intensity of attention in the field of consciousness neither alters nor wavers, remaining as stable, smooth and constant as oil pouring from a jug. Maintaining the same intensity of awareness, the attentive awareness moves from one-pointed concentration to no-pointed attentiveness.
