Introduction To Meditation

Meditation is a holistic discipline during which time the practitioner trains his or her mind in order to realize some benefit.

Meditation gets rid of mind chatter, alleviates stress and enhances relaxation.

Meditation is generally an internal, personal practice and most often done without any external involvement, except perhaps prayer beads to count prayers.

Meditation often involves invoking or cultivating a feeling or internal state, such as compassion, or attending to a specific focal point. The term can refer to the state itself, as well as to practices or techniques employed to cultivate the state.

There are hundreds of specific types of meditation. The word, "meditation" means many things dependent upon the context of its use. People practice meditation for many reasons, within the context of their social environment.

Meditation is a component of many religions, and has been practiced since antiquity, particularly by monastics. A 2007 study by the U.S. government found that nearly 9.4% of U.S. adults (over 20 million) have used meditation within the past 12 months, up from 7.6% (more than 15 million people) in 2002.

To date, the exact mechanism at work in meditation remains unclear, while scientific research continues.
