What is Meditation?
(Copyright 1996 – 2013)
Meditation is a state of altered awareness that allows us to bypass previous programming and to open up to our higher self and to original thought. It has been part of every culture since the dawn of man. The fact is that almost everyone goes into a meditative state about a dozen times a week on average without even being aware of it. Have you ever stared out of a window and drifted away for a few moments losing complete track of time and surrounding activity. When this happens the person has inadvertently gone into a meditative state. Meditation is not the act of focusing on something nor is it the act of “emptying” your mind. It is freedom of thought absence critical thought and the shackles of preexisting programming (idealistically).There are many different labels for meditation, as well as various approaches to achieving a meditative state but regardless of the vehicle the goal and end result is pretty much the same. The ultimate goal is to open up to that intuitive, creative, and spiritual part of who we are. It is to access that higher part of our being.
ORIGINS
Meditation is as old as mankind. It is impossible for anyone to be certain where, when, and how, it came to be formalized. My studies lead me to believe that it evolved naturally. In many instances, people will spontaneously go into trance without trying to do so. From use as a natural escape mechanism (to avoid pain, heat or cold, or trauma), to something that may simply begin as daydreaming, meditative trance is a naturally occurring phenomenon.In ancient times those who were naturally more in tune with meditation or trance states found it to be a way by which he/she could open up to his/her inner wisdom. They found meditation a way to look at life through different eyes… or from another mountain or valley. Often these people became the spiritual leaders or wise men/women within the community. In turn, they would attract followers who could see the value in this process. The spiritual leader would then teach their followers these skills. Over the centuries various ways of teaching meditation skills became part of most cultures and religions.
Past civilizations most likely had an easier time meditating than people do in modern times because they often had not been subjected to the level of left brain programming as in our modern culture. In our society people are most often trained from birth to be analytical and rational. How many times have you seen a small child who is playing and acting like a child be told by an adult to “act their age” (as if they are not), or to “grow up”. This indoctrination serves only to inhibit the ability to meditate by stifling that creative and imaginative part of us. The childlike qualities within us are a vital component in achieving a meditative state.
