Meditation is used as a broad term for practices done by a sole practitioner without much, if any, external aid, often for the purpose of self-transformation. Often, though not at all necessarily, meditation is done as part of a religious tradition.

How do you meditate and what is meditation?

A. Our minds get so bogged down with busyness and worry. we never give it a break! Meditation is the process of doing just that, giving your mind a break. Meditation is the process of clearing your mind of everything, of finding a peace and a calmness within yourself. it can be very refreshing. Find a nice quiet place, sit comfortably strait up not hunched forward with your hands together, slow and steady your breathing and concentrate only you your breath, eventually you will concentrate on nothing at all. My suggestion is to get a book that will help you to understand it and achieve successful meditation easier.

What happens in a basic buddhist meditation?
Q. I am doing a project and I would like to know what happens in basic a buddhist meditation?

A. There are many different Buddhist traditions and each tradition teaches meditation in its own way, with its own unique emphasis. That said, most Buddhist meditation techniques bring the practitioner into awareness of what is actually happening in the mind from moment to moment. Some traditions ask practitioners to follow or count the breath (inhalations and exhalations). This helps calm the mind so that the practitioner can see thoughts arise and fall away. Other traditions ask students to label or name the contents of the mind ("thinking of dinner" "back pain" "worrying about email"). Again, this helps the student see how the mind takes us away from attention to the moment. Other traditions use imagery of people, objects, events, or… [cont.]

Meditation

Dictionary of Burning Words of Brilliant Writers (1895)

Reported in Josiah Hotchkiss Gilbert, Dictionary of Burning Words of Brilliant Writers (1895).

  • Meditation is the soul's perspective glass, whereby, in her long remove, she discerneth God, as if He were nearer at hand.
    • Owen Feltham, p. 406.
  • Profound meditation in solitude and silence frequently exalts the mind above its natural tone, fires the imagination, and produces the most refined and sublime conceptions. The soul then tastes the purest and most refined delight, and almost loses the idea of existence in the intellectual pleasure it receives. The mind on every motion darts through space into eternity; and raised, in its free enjoyment of its powers by its own enthusiasm, strengthens itself in the habitude of contemplating the noblest subjects, and of adopting the most heroic pursuits.
    • John G. Zimmerman, p. 406.
  • It is not he that reads most, but he that meditates most on Divine truth, that will prove the choicest, wisest, strongest Christian.
  • For with all our pretension to enlightenment, are we not now a talking, desultory, rather than a meditative generation?
  • It is an excellent sign, that after the cares and labors of the day, you can return to your pious exercises and meditations with undiminished attention.
