MEDITATION

What is meditation

And its several benefits

Meditation consists in general of regular practices involving essentially a controlled focus of attention. Though it appears with a mystic aura, its practice provides several benefits and practical improvements, like (my own experience):

- Physical, mental and emotional rest

- Increased capacity of concentration

- Enhanced self-control

- Enhanced freedom of choice

- Increased creativity, by means of greater freedom of thinking

The word meditation has been already used with other meanings. In the section Objectives & Decision, for example, you are going to find the Dreamer's induction, originally Dreamer's meditation. To make a distinction, we have opted for calling that kind of meditation “linguistic induction”.

Meditation in general can also involve sounds, but not talked or thought language, on the contrary, one of the goals is exactly to activate a level of non-linguistic thinking, which nevertheless may be useful in some contexts, it is not in others.
