What exactly is meditation? The dictionary defines it as the act of thinking, pondering, contemplating. It’s a clear and simple definition, but it implies that everyone is doing it, and that it comes naturally to all.

Studying its Eastern origins, however, shows that meditation is more complex. Sometimes it’s thinking and pondering, sometimes it’s the complete opposite – not thinking, not focusing. There’s meditating on the stillness between one’s breaths, and there’s meditating with the chanting of mantras. There’s meditation to deepen your understanding of a subject matter, and there’s meditation to relax and rest the logical mind. There is meditation in sitting still, and there’s meditation in body movements – stepping from one stance to another, moving from one asana to the next, like a silent dance. Sometimes meditation is a dance, as the whirling dervishes do.
