What Is Meditation?

Meditation can be defined as a set of techniques that are intended to encourage a heightened state of awareness and focused attention. Meditation is also a consciousness-changing technique that has been shown to have a wide number of benefits on psychological well-being.

Some key things to note about meditation:

Meditation has been practiced in cultures all over the world for thousands of years.

Nearly every religion, including Buddhism, Hinduism, Christianity, Judaism, and Islam, has a tradition of using meditative practices.

While meditation is often used for religious purposes, many people practice it independently of any religious or spiritual beliefs or practices.

Meditation can also be used as a psychotherapeutic technique.

There are many different types of meditation.

Types

Meditation can take on many different forms, but there are two main types: concentrative meditation and mindfulness meditation:

Concentrative meditation involves focusing all of your attention on a specific object while tuning out everything else around you. The goal is to really experience whatever you are focusing on, whether it's your breath, a specific word, or a mantra in order to reach a higher state of being.

Mindfulness meditation includes, among others, both mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) and mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT). Mindfulness can target different issues, such as depression, which means that its focus may be different from practice to practice. Overall, it involves the state of being aware of and involved in the present moment and making yourself open, aware, and accepting.
