Meditation is a method for synchronizing body and mind in the present moment. When our body and mind are in sync, we are naturally relaxed, alert, open, and aware. In this way, meditation can provide physical, psychological, and spiritual benefits.
The literal definition of meditation is to focus on one point to such an extent that all other issues disappear. Most consider it a form of finding relaxation. Meditation is a way to reprogram our thinking. It is a pathway to happiness.
A good way to begin meditating is to sit quietly each day in a particular place for a certain time and this will eventually help you feel more comfortable. A specific technique may make you less helpless. Often, it's recommended to close your eyes and focus only on your deep breathing, in through the nose and out through the mouth. While every meditative tradition, whether ancient or modern, emphasizes concentration, your own personal tradition or routine is the one which will work best for you.
Even now, while you're focusing on reading these words, you are in a form of meditation.
Whether you meditate as part of a religious practice or instead of one, whether you follow elaborate rituals or do it on the bus, the effective part of meditation is all about getting in touch with your own mental patterns and changing them at the root, and that means developing a reflective space in which change is possible.
