Meditation is a mental discipline by which the practitioner attempts to get beyond the reflexive, "thinking" mind into a deeper state of relaxation or awareness. Meditation is a component of many religions, and has been practiced since antiquity. It is also practiced outside religious traditions. Different meditative disciplines encompass a wide range of spiritual or psychophysical practices that may emphasize different goals—from achievement of a higher state of consciousness, to greater focus, creativity or self-awareness, or simply a more relaxed and peaceful frame of mind.

Eastern meditation techniques have been adapted and increasingly practiced in Western culture.

How should I teach meditation to my anxious 15 year old son?
Q. Meditation is easy for me. I grew up with visualization, body scans, guided meditation, counting, breathing, naming thoughts (probably what he needs most) and more. I just don't know where to start with my son. Any suggestions on teaching or introducing meditation to a teenager? Books? Courses? Videos? Where to start with good old dad? Thank you.

A. I think that the best way to start is with the observation of the breath, is easy to do, easy to understand and is something that doesn't need any additional material to read. If you have done it for some time you can explain to him how to do it. Also by observing the breath is very easy to deal with anxiety, is very easy to notice, so he can be motivated to continue doing it. Another option is checking if there's a center near your place and take him to a one day Anapana course for teens, I added the page to the sources so you can check when are they going to be.

Where can i learn meditation for free? Any websites that offer free guided meditation?
Q. I am so depressed right now, I need something positive to cheer me up and help me remain compassionate. I want to learn to meditate, I checked with the Buddha learning center today and it cost $60 for a session! I didn't pay, of course, i want to see if there are any alternatives. Anyone know of any good websites that offer free meditation?

A. Our minds get so bogged down with busyness and worry. we never give it a break! Meditation is the process of doing just that, giving your mind a break. Meditation is the process of clearing your mind of everything, of finding a peace and a calmness within yourself. it can be very refreshing. Find a nice quiet place, sit comfortably strait up not hunched forward with your hands together, slow and steady your breathing and concentrate only you your breath, eventually you will concentrate on nothing at all. My suggestion is to get a book that will help you to understand it and achieve successful meditation easier.

Meditation

Dictionary of Burning Words of Brilliant Writers (1895)

Reported in Josiah Hotchkiss Gilbert, Dictionary of Burning Words of Brilliant Writers (1895).

  • Meditation is the soul's perspective glass, whereby, in her long remove, she discerneth God, as if He were nearer at hand.
    • Owen Feltham, p. 406.
  • Profound meditation in solitude and silence frequently exalts the mind above its natural tone, fires the imagination, and produces the most refined and sublime conceptions. The soul then tastes the purest and most refined delight, and almost loses the idea of existence in the intellectual pleasure it receives. The mind on every motion darts through space into eternity; and raised, in its free enjoyment of its powers by its own enthusiasm, strengthens itself in the habitude of contemplating the noblest subjects, and of adopting the most heroic pursuits.
    • John G. Zimmerman, p. 406.
  • It is not he that reads most, but he that meditates most on Divine truth, that will prove the choicest, wisest, strongest Christian.
  • For with all our pretension to enlightenment, are we not now a talking, desultory, rather than a meditative generation?
  • It is an excellent sign, that after the cares and labors of the day, you can return to your pious exercises and meditations with undiminished attention.
