Meditation is an exercise in which individuals use techniques such as mindfulness or focusing their thoughts on specific objects, thoughts or activities to train attention and consciousness, and achieve a state of mental clarity, emotional calm and stability. Scholars find it difficult to define meditation because customs differ between traditions and within traditions.
Meditation is practiced in many religious traditions. The earliest records of meditation (Zen) were found in the Vedas, and meditation played an important role in the meditation repertoire of Hinduism and Buddhism. Since the 19th century, Asian meditation techniques have spread to other cultures and are used in non-spiritual settings such as business and health.
Meditation can significantly reduce stress, anxiety, depression and pain, and enhance peace, perception, self-concept and happiness. Research is ongoing to better understand the effects of meditation on health (psychological, neurological and cardiovascular) and other areas.
