Meditation is a practice in which an individual trains the mind or induces a mode of consciousness, either to realize some benefit[1] or as an end in itself.
The term meditation refers to a broad variety of practices including techniques designed to promote relaxation, build internal energy or a life force (qi, ki, prana, etc.), or develop compassion,[3] love, patience, generosity and forgiveness. A particularly ambitious form of meditation aims at effortlessly sustained single-pointed concentration[4] to achieve indestructible sense of well-being for its practitioner.
The word meditation carries different meanings in different contexts. Meditation in antiquity was practiced as a component of numerous religious traditions and beliefs.[5] Meditation often involves an internal effort to self-regulate the mind. Meditation in a non-religious context is often used to clear the mind, ease health issues such as high blood pressure,[6] depression, and anxiety. It may be done sitting, or actively. For example, Buddhist monks involve active meditation awareness in their day-to-day activities as a form of mind-training, and may use prayer beads or other ritual objects as reminders.
Meditation may involve generating specific emotions for self-analysis or cultivating a particular mental response to various phenomena, such as compassion.[7] The term "meditation" can refer to the state, practices, or the techniques employed to cultivate the state.[8] Meditation may involve repeating a mantra (which may be tailored to the individual) with eyes closed.[9] Meditation has a calming effect and may direct awareness inward to a state of pure awareness, described as "being awake inside without being aware of anything except awareness itself."[10] In brief, there are dozens of specific styles of meditation practice, and many different types of activity commonly referred to as meditative practices.
