What is Meditation🔗

THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM says that anything that raises your consciousness is meditation. It can even be a simple breathing technique, a simple repetition of a word, or it can be just simply sitting! In the Zen tradition, just sitting is meditation. You may think this is the easiest but in fact, it is the most difficult meditation. Some techniques include visualization, or maybe some catharsis and more dynamic techniques. Ultimately, we enter into the deep vibrant silence at the being level, beyond mind. Anything can become meditation, if it raises your consciousness. Don't confuse a meditation technique with the state of meditation. We may use any technique to take us into the space of meditation, of deep restful awareness.
