The word Meditation has been derived from a Latin word 'mederi', which means healing. Thus, meditation is nothing but just an attempt to heal our mind, body and the soul. It helps us to understand the cause of a particular problem and also helps us in finding a solution to it. Meditation is the attainment of a deepened state of understanding.



To a layman the word meditation may sound something related to prayers and worship, which the age old sadhus used to do. But meditation is not so. Meditation is concentration. It is awareness. Whatever we do with great concentration and awareness is Meditation. As long as anything can be done with the full concentration and without any sort of distraction or disturbances is Meditation.
