From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Meditation is a practice where an individual uses a technique – such as mindfulness, or focusing the mind on a particular object, thought or activity – to train attention and awareness, and achieve a mentally clear and emotionally calm and stable state.
Meditation has been practiced since antiquity in numerous religious traditions, often as part of the path towards enlightenment and self realization.
Meditation may be used with the aim of reducing stress, anxiety, depression, and pain, and increasing peace, perception.

       Scientists proved that meditation lowers the stress hormone cortisol, reduces  anxiety attacks, helps with dieting, is useful for learning ability - that are some of the main effects but not the only ones. Everybody can benefit from meditating but if you do not want to visit regular courses or hire a personal coach you might be a bit lost in the number of different
approaches.
         We have different types of personality and not everything functions with everybody.

         There are a lot of definitions what meditation is and a lot of methods but I want to write here about my practical experience. I am not a spiritual teacher and I will not present you a complete system.
Here is a short introduction
Mastering meditation - Elementary meditation - quotes from the Notebooks of Paul Brunton

         I like the books of this spiritual teacher. Paul Brunton -  British author - lived 1898 - 1981.
He wrote a lot of books, his so called "Notebooks" on different topics were published posthumously. You would need very very long time to read all his writings but I found on youtube a video with

         And as the last video on this topic

a bit over half an hour long. Some commentaries under this video show that
users would like to be transferred to a spiritual world immediately. That is naturally
a nonsense - nothing will happen like a single click - I am sure all of us here know
it from business as well.
        Do not forget to take a rest in time before you are exhausted and if this rest
will be regularly supported by meditation you will surely feel better.
