What is meditation?
| People pray to Gods when they are suffered from outside problems or inside anxieties. Pray, especially petitioners pray, in which people ask God to help with my promotion, to wish to bolster the little ego in its wants and desires is religious.
However, Meditation is not a religious thing, but a spiritual practice that has to be actual experience. It seeks to go beyond the ego altogether; it asks nothing from God, real or imagined, but rather offers itself as a sacrifice toward a greater awareness; not preachy and churchy morals (drinking, smoking or sexing, etc.), but with the disciplining of awareness, with Spirit found in everyone뭩 Heart. Meditation is a way to evoke the relaxation response, a way to train and strengthen awareness, a method for centering and focusing the self, a way to halt constant verbal thinking and relax the body to relieve stress, bolster self-esteem, reduce anxiety, and alleviate depression.
Meditation was invented in no matter what the religious group is, Christian, Buddhist, Hindu, Taoist, or Islamic, as a way for the soul to venture inward, to find a supreme identity with God. The Kingdom of Heaven is within and meditation is the royal road from the very beginning to that Kingdom.
