What is Meditation

Meditation can be considered a technique, or practice. It usually involves concentrating on an object, such as a flower, a candle, a sound or word, or the breath. Over time, the number of random thoughts occurring diminishes.Experiences during meditation probably vary significantly from one individual to another, or at least if different techniques are involved. Relaxation, increased awareness, mental focus and clarity, and a sense of peace are the most common bi-products of meditation. While much has been written about the benefits of meditation, the best attitude is not to have any expectations when practicing. Having a sense of expectation of (positive) results is likely to create unnecessary strain in the practice.What generally are considered important in meditation is that one is regular with their meditation -every day, and that one makes a reasonable effort, without any strain, to remain with the object of concentration during the practice. With regular practice one inevitably acquires an increased understanding and
proficiency with the particular meditation technique.
