Meditation is generally a subjective, personal experience and most often done without any external involvement, except perhaps prayer beads to count prayers. Meditation oftentimes involves invoking and cultivating a feeling or internal state, such as compassion, or attending to some focal point, etc. The term can refer to the process of reaching this state, as well as to the state itself.

GNU Free Documentation License Meditation/Visualization Experts? How can i clear my mind and use meditation to heal my body? Q. I've heard that meditation and visualization can help cure problematic things within the body.

I can only comment from a Buddhist point of view, being that I haven't studied any other forms of meditation. Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche (a Tibetan Lama who taught in the US in the 1960's) was once asked, "If there is no Self, what is it that gets reborn?"

Q. I've already got the title Meditation Made Simple, which goes into different healing light visualizations and breathing exercises. I also have Lifescapes Guided Meditation, which is more of what I'm looking for right now.
