* What is Meditation?
Quite simply, meditation is a state of
relaxed, focused awareness
of the mind &
body, where the mind is alert
& focused,
while at the same time, the body is totally
relaxed.
This
state is a natural one, which we
spontaneously experience on a daily
basis - as we fall asleep, just as
we are
waking, driving a long stretch of road,
when we become "lost" in music
or a
wonderful book...
Anyone
can learn to meditate if they have
the desire, patience & committment
to do
so. There are many different ways
to
meditate - clearing the mind is
one way,
other methods include filling
the mind
with intentional thoughts &
images,
concentrating on sounds, colors,
&
movement, to name a few.
