What is Meditation?

Meditation is the way to develop productive states of mind. Meditation is actually a part of the lifestyle that is referred to as yoga; in fact, it is the seventh; limb of yoga (Dhyana). The practice of meditation involves making the mind tranquil and becoming very aware without focusing on any specific thoughts. The purpose of meditation is mindfulness and complete connection with only the present moment, rather than letting other distracting thoughts impact your mental state at the time. It is taught as a science that anyone can practice no matter one’s age, faith, or beliefs. Meditation is almost entirely mental. In most cases, there is little movement involved in meditation.

Benefits of meditation

There are many different effective mental states that can be developed through meditation:

·         More relaxation and less stress
·         More focus and fewer omissions
·         More calm and free from constant anxiety
·         To have a better understanding of ourselves and our lives and to have a similar understanding of others
·         Cultivating many positive moods like compassion, kindness
 
Even though there is a difference between meditation and yoga, the ultimate goal of both is to bring peace of mind and a feeling of oneness with other living beings.
