Meditation - Dr. Motaleb Barazandeh (Ph.D)

Meditation:

The term "meditation" is often used both to denote the process or technique of meditation, as well as the state "elicited" by meditation practice. Usually during meditation we concentrate on a particular object or idea, such as a flower, a candle flame, a sound, a word (mantra), an image of a deity, our breath, or, in its purest form, simply on whatever is. A beginner would benefit most from the insight meditation style: simply concentrating on the breath and whatever is. The practice of meditation will gradually reduce the stream of thoughts arising in your mind which leads to relaxation, inner peace, relationships improvements and an increase in the ability to concentrate.

Finally Meditation is one of the proven alternative therapies. It can be broadly classified under the mind-body medicine. Some people want to improve their concentration for work, study, or sports; others are looking for calm and peace of mind. Then there are people trying to answer fundamental questions about life. With regular practice, meditation can help all of us to find what we are looking for.
