Meditation is a mental discipline by which one attempts to get beyond the reflexive, "thinking" mind into a deeper state of relaxation or awareness. Meditation often involves turning attention to a single point of reference. It is a component of many religions, and has been practiced since antiquity. It is also practiced outside religious traditions. Different meditative disciplines encompass a wide range of spiritual or psychophysical practices that may emphasize different goals—from achievement of a higher state of consciousness, to greater focus, creativity or self-awareness, or simply a more relaxed and peaceful frame of mind.

The word meditation comes from the Indo-European root med-, meaning "to measure." From the root med- are also derived the English words mete, medicine, modest, and moderate. It entered English as meditation through the Latin meditatio, which originally indicated any type of physical or intellectual exercise, then later evolved into the more specific meaning "contemplation."

Eastern meditation techniques have been adapted and increasingly practiced in Western culture.

How are the mantras in Transcendental Meditation special?
Q. My friend says Transcendental Meditation is the best meditation. What is the mantra and how is it special?
Asked by StarGazer - Wed Apr 29 13:34:38 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. As part of personal instruction in the TM technique each student receives a suitable mantra or sound which has been selected by their TM teacher as a sound that is harmonious and appropriate for that individual. There is a designated set of mantras that each TM teacher uses to select the appropriate sound for their students. So it is entirely possible that some TM students could have the same mantra as others. It is important to note that TM mantras are specialized sounds that have no menaing. They are the delicate vehicle on which the mind glides to deeper, more subtle levels of thinking. For maximum effectiveness TM students are encouraged to refrain from speaking or writing down their mantra as this has the effect of damaging and… [cont.]

Spiritually does meditation water your roots like the watered roots do for the flowers blooming?
Q. Is the meditation you are doing bearing fruit? Does it feels good when doing it but seems to be going nowhere? If so, have you tried modern techniques like Asharishi yoga? Asha Sanskrit root meaning for the eternal law. Rishi Seer or one with awareness. Yoga Union.

What is the correct standing posture for yoga/meditation?
Q. I am trying to get my standing posture correct for yogs/meditation. How do you stand to get the proud holding of lifting your adbomen over your pelvis? Do I tuck my butt in and pell my navel to my spine? Or, is it more analogous to how a pregnant woman walks with her belly first or to how a model stands? Also , when sitting cross-legged, do I sit up straight and relax or sit up straight and rigid?
Asked by The Lady Amalthea - Mon Sep 11 23:44:01 2006 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. I've never heard of a standing posture for meditation. This is because the feet are not stable enough to sustain the meditation posture for prolonged periods of time. Meditation is best done sitting or lying down.
