Meditation was traditionally the corner-stone of yoga, and the other 7 limbs of yoga, helped prepare the practitioner for meditation, and also supported their meditation practice.
Yoga is an ancient body of knowledge over 6,000 years old, with much of today's known records surviving through India mainly due to it's stable history of tolerance, allowing practices to continue and flourish over the ages.
Much of what we westerners now call yoga, is mainly a tiny subset of the original practices and focuses primarily on the physical practices, especially the asanas or yoga postures.
However, in the past, meditation was the practice being prepared for and sustained and heightened by the other limbs of yoga.
Nowadays many people use the term
meditation to refer to many different practices. And many of these technqiues would not have been considered meditation within the traditional schools.
