Renounce the Mind
Pratyahara means not taking anything through the five senses. Please understand-when the kundalini is awakened, the sense are shifting, they are no more ordinary, actually when the kundalini awakens, when you experience levitation, you will automatically experience shifting of senses.
Your senses are matter used by your inner space, your mind works through your senses and experiences the world through sensual pleasures or pain. Now, the stuff out of which your mind is made, if it withdraws from sensory activities and returns to the source, (restoration), that is what I call Pratyahara.
Withdrawing the senses, restoring them to the space where constant joy is happening without any happening! If you see anything new, your senses will come alive. How cunning your senses are. How it gets attachment or excitement.
Some how our mind, catches things to get excited. Excitement has nothing to do with the object, its something to do with your ideas. Your being attached is important, whether to a steel plate or silver plate or mud plate. The attachment is to be renounced.
So decide not to go through the useless sensory distractions, get into the space where the ultimate joy, peace and bliss is happening, without anything happening.
