Breaking Down the Sanskrit
Yoga: Union, connection, or coming to a state of balance.
Citta: The total mental field, including consciousness, memory, and ego layers.
Vṛtti: The turning waves, modifications, or mental ripples of thoughts and stories.
Nirodhaḥ: The restraint, stilling, or calming down of those mental waves.
Meditation practice
Clearing the Lake: Imagine your mind as a lake; when the water is still, you see the bottom clearly, but when it is stirred up by mental chatter, truth is obscured.
