meditation


meditateMeditation - The practice of meditation is most commonly defined as turning inward to one's self for guidance, or healing as well as a vast number of other reasons. The English word "meditation" originates from the Latin word "meditation", which originally indicated every type of physical or intellectual exercise, then later evolved into the more specific meaning "contemplation."

Meditation is most commonly defined as one of the following:

  • a state that is achieved when the mind is quiet and free of all thoughts
  • a focusing of the mind on a single object (such as a religious statue, or one's breathing, or a mantra)
  • a mental "opening up", or "unfolding" to the spiritual, invoking the guidance of a higher power
  • reasoned analysis of religious teachings (such as impermanence, for Buddhists).

Its ritual and contemplative qualities are similar to prayer in many religions, but prayer usually consists of communication with a higher being, whereas meditation focuses on developing inwardly, oneself.

Why meditate?

There is almost as much material on the web about meditation as there is religion. It is practiced worldwide, and is the core of many people's spiritual life.

     Meditation brings a sense of fullness and completion, as well as inner peace and is a viable source of tranquility to human beings.  All other forms of serenity may seem temporary by comparison  The euphoria that drugs offer can quickly lead to misery and self-destruction.

     Meditation is considered to be an adventure of self-discovery and self realization.  How can you live without knowing who or what you are?    Meditation increases awareness of the natural phenomena that is actually going on behind your own eyes, inside your brain and spirit.  Self-knowledge has intrinsic value, even without the indescribable bliss nature generously unleashes in those who practice meditation with sincerity and patience.
