Defining Meditation

If you have access to a TV, the Internet, or even other people for that matter, you've probably heard about meditation. But what exactly is meditation? You hear about it all the time, but very few people take the time to actually explain what it is.

Despite popular images in the media, meditation isn't about becoming a new person or transcending your old self. In contrast, meditation is about training your awareness and gaining a healthier perspective on yourself and your life.

Meditation is nothing more than a tool you use to help you gain concentration and perspective. It is not mystical. It is not magical. It is simply a tool to help you achieve mental and emotional clarity.

Think about it like this: We exercise our bodies in order to stay healthy, gain muscle, and lose fat. Meditation works the same way, except it is for the mind instead of the body. Just as exercise is a tool for keeping your body in check, meditation is a tool for keeping your mind in check.
