Meditation

Meditation is the state of simply being, just pure experiencing, with no interference from the body or mind. It’s a natural state but one which we have forgotten how to access. The word meditation is also used for what is, more accurately, a meditation method. Meditative methods or techniques are used to create an inner ambience that facilitates disconnecting from the body-mind so one can simply be. Methods are needed only until the state of meditation – of relaxed awareness, of consciousness and centring – has become not just a passing experience but as intrinsic to one as, say, breathing.
