Understanding MeditationFor thousands of years meditation has been

practiced. Meditation originally was meant to help deepen understanding of the mystical

and sacred forces of life. Meditation is commonly used for stress reduction and

relaxation.

Meditation is considered a type of mind-body complementary medicine. Meditation

produces a tranquil mind and a deep state of relaxation. During meditation, you focus your attention and eliminate the stream of jumbled

thoughts that may be crowding your mind and causing stress. This process results in

enhanced physical and emotional well-being.
