The earliest records of meditive practices date as far back as the 6th century BC in both Taoist China and Buddhist India.
There is some debate as to exactly where and when it has its' origins however there are written records as far back as the first century BC in the sutras of Pali Canon referring to states of meditation in indian buddhism. Based on the formula of focusing on morality, comtemplative concentration, knowledge and liberation it was seen as a step on the path to salvation and redemption.
Although meditation has long been associated with religeous practices with the image of old grey bearded men assuming quite impossible physical positions, modern meditation has evolved into a mental and physical form of achieving true inner peace and self being either with or without any strong religious beliefs.
What is Meditation and how is it performed?
In our busy lives our attention can commonly by caught by the demands of everyday work and social commitments and quite often our thoughts, feelings, doubts, anxieties and even how we percieve ouselves can be negatively affected by these outside influences. Sometimes the pressures of everyday life are so great that they leave no room for any deeper dimension in our lives.
However sometimes when we stop to draw breath in a calm moment, we may get a glimpse of the path and direction that we are being pulled away from.
Meditation helps to restore our inner peace and harmony through simple techniques which draw our awareness to an inner stillness and calm where a person can be untroubled by the usual routine commotion of the mind. It has been shown that meditation can help reduce stress whilst building self esteem as well as mental focus.
Meditation is achieved through a combination of breathing, visualisation and relaxing of the muscles. The results when successfully performed reduces stress and provides better mental awareness. There are even in depth studies currently being performed to define whether meditation may even be linked to longevity too. In summary meditation is a system of breathing with purpose.
During meditation the individual focuses on their breathing whilst they inhale and exhale. It is common practice during this cycle to think about something that the individual would like clarity on or perhaps a goal in which the individual would like positive thoughts leading to a better outcome. Meditation can be performed for just a few minutes in order to relax the mind or up to several hours of deep and intentional breathing and thought to totally cleanse the brain.
