Confusion exists between various people about the exact nature of meditation. The basic nature of different types of meditations are the same, its sole objective is to clear the mind off the various worldly distractions and to focus on ones goal. This is a personal experience based project. One of the more lucid explanations of meditation is to canalize ones energy to attain ones goals. And one has to keep in mind that meditation is not something which was found out recently.

The origins of meditation can be seen past the birth of religions itself. They were first practiced by the Buddhist monks and had become an integral part of their ceremonial practices. But modern day medicine has given an altogether newer outlook for medication. It is touted to be a stress buster and is found to be much effective than taking drugs and medications for reducing stress.

A sense of calm can be brought forth in the mind of the practitioner when he meditates. This is because of all the worldly distractions are cast away from his mind when he is into meditation. The longer we do it the more beneficial are the results. Besides the practice does not have any side effects. And can be
done for any number of days all thought out the lifetime. It has been recently revealed that mind has the capability to heal every physical ailments associated with the body.

During meditation the brain is known to pass through various phases such as the gamma phase, theta phase and the alpha phase. These phases are helpful in reducing the physical ailments of the body. But certain doctors always remain skeptical about the effectiveness of the practice of meditation for curing diseases. Some people confuse mediation with listening to music. The results of meditation are also welcoming in the form of wisdom, calming and enlightenment.

Meditation is so calming that I used to fall asleep during the process. It is a wonderful practice that I should incorporate back into my life...some day. :) Thanks for reminding me!

Hi Shailini, I am also like Pam, every time I would attempt to meditate, I would fall asleep. I am working on trying it at different times in the day to prevent that, so I am able to take full advantage of the benefits.
