Meditation in the strict sense means..focussing on God..but it has assumed other meanings also...Lets see...
Meditation is
one of the proven alternative therapies. It can be broadly classified under the mind-body medicine.
More and more doctors are prescribing
meditation as a way to lower blood pressure, improve exercise performance in people with angina, help people with asthma breathe easier, relieve insomnia and generally relax the everyday stresses of life. Meditation is a safe and simple way to balance a person''s physical, emotional, and mental states. It is simple; but can benefit everybody.
The use of Meditation for healing is not new. Meditative techniques are the product of diverse cultures and peoples around the world. It has been rooted in the traditions of the world''s great religions. In fact, practically all
religious groups practice meditation in one form or another. The value of Meditation to alleviate suffering and promote healing has been known and practiced for thousands of years.
