| What is Meditation? Meditation can be considered a technique, or practice. It usually involves concentrating on an object, such as a flower, a candle, asound 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 bestattitude is not to have any expectations when practicing. Having asense of expectation of (positive) results is likely to createunnecessary 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 areasonable effort, without any strain, to remain with the object of concentration during the practice. With regular practice one inevitablyacquires an increased understanding and proficiency with theparticular meditation technique. Q) How is meditation different from relaxation, thinking, concentration or self-hypnosis? Relaxation: Relaxation is a common by product of meditation. Relaxation itself can assume many forms, such as taking a hot bath etc. Meditation is an active process where the meditator remains fully aware of what the awareness is doing. It also attempts to transcend the thought process, whereas many forms of relaxation still engage the thought process. Meditation allows the body to relax and can offset the effects of stress both, mentally and physically to a potentially much greater degree than passive relaxation. Thinking: Thoughts generally consume energy in the process of their formation. Constant thought-activity, especially of random nature, can tire the mind and even bring a headache. Meditation attempts to transcend this crude level of thought activity. Through regular practice one becomes aware that they are not their thoughts but that there is an awareness that exists independent of thought. Meditation begins with concentration, but after an initial period of concentration, thought activity decreases and keeping the awareness focused becomes more spontaneous. At this point the person may or may not continue to employ the object of concentration. Self-hypnosis: Self-hypnosis, like meditation, involves at least an initial period of concentration on an object. However, in hypnosis one does not try to maintain an awareness of the here-and-now, or to stay conscious of the process. Instead one essentially enters a sort of semi-conscious trance. Q) What is the best time of day to meditate? While meditation is beneficial at any time, most people, who meditate agree that early morning is the best time to meditate. Q) What are the physiological effects of meditation? The most common physiological effects of meditation are: reduced blood pressure, lower pulse rate, decreased metabolic rate and changes in the concentration of serum levels of various substances. |
