Understanding MeditationFor thousands of years meditation has been
practiced. Meditation originally was meant to help deepen understanding of the mystical
and sacred forces of life. Meditation is commonly used for stress reduction and
relaxation.
Meditation is considered a type of mind-body complementary medicine. Meditation
produces a tranquil mind and a deep state of relaxation. During meditation, you focus your attention and eliminate the stream of jumbled
thoughts that may be crowding your mind and causing stress. This process results in
enhanced physical and emotional well-being.
