Dhāraṇā is a state of intense concentration with the goal of reaching a meditative state. It is the sixth limb of Patañjali's classification of yoga in the Yoga Sūtras.

देशबन्धश्चित्तस्य धारणा ॥१॥

deśabandhaścittasya dhāraṇā ॥ 3 ॥

Dhāraṇā (concentration) is the fixing of the mind in once place.

Yoga Sūtras of Patañjali, 3.1.[1]
