... also pratyahara?...
According to (catchy but deadly) Yogapedia :
PRATYAHARA: THE FIFTH LIMB OF YOGA <---- click!
Killing the Noise
......
Another way to practice pratyahara is by enjoying a meal or two in total silence. Rather than eating while watching a movie, reading a book or chatting with a loved one, see what it’s like to simply focus on your food, chewing it slowly and taking pleasure in a nice home-cooked meal.

The suggestion about the meal would be a form or a primitive form of dharana and dhyana practice not pratyahar.
Pratyahar is when the sensual energies are withdrawn and contracted into the central energy of the person with no interest running out to anything even to a desired focus.
Dharana and dhyan is the exercise of focus to a desired object, place, environment without going to any other thing.
