What is Meditation?

Meditation is a relaxation technique.. In meditation, people try to relax both the mind and the body. In many forms of meditation, people begin by sitting comfortably on a cusion or chair. Then they gradually relax their body, begin to breathe slowly, and concentrate on a sensation - such as inhaling and exhailing of breath - or an image or an object. In Transcendental Miditation, a person does not try to contentrate on anything, but merely sits in a quiet atmosphere and repeats a mantra (a specially chosen word) to try to achieve a state of restful alertness.

Meditation is an ancient concentration practice that develops calmness and insight.

Biofeedback uses electronic monitors to help you learn how to use your mind to affect and change specific body functions.

Stress reduction and relaxation programs combine many of these techniques along with movement meditations such as yoga, tai chi and qi gong.

Yoga, tai chi and qi gong use gentle, precise movements coupled with breathing and concentration to exercise the body and calm and energize the mind.
