Meditation means to think ,ponder etc.It also means dhyana meaning to contemplate.Meditation is strongly associated with the relegions.Hence meditation is linked to spirituality.
Scientific studies have since proven, that meditation is indeed beneficial .Those of us ( meaning nearly all, including yours truly ) who are running after Lakshmi must necessarily meditate to control the urge to hoard money,clothes,bags,computers,etc.Some of the positive reactions of meditation are reduction in stress & anxiety levels.Meditation leads to lowering of blood pressure.It also helps in improving digestion & decreases heart attack risk.It boosts sex life & concentration.It gives us a sense of well being & increases the size of our brains.And as we begin to feel good about ourselves,we find the world a much better place !

Great minds think alike. I wrote about meditation too.
Have learnt a few methods, but haven't stuck to one properly. Blame it on my laziness.
Thank you ,Suzy! I read your post.It is very nice.
Loved your comments here !
Prathima,
I practice yoga & still my mind wanders. Meditation is difficult.Good, that you keep trying.
Ohh I lack concentration when it comes to meditation!

I read Suzy's blog and came here. Now this is - reading the blogs in a perfect order. I heard meditation is soothing . Must try some time. I only succeeded once when a powerful speaker conducted a session in school
I love the idea of meditation but when I sit down to actually doing it, my mind wanders :) Lovely post.
It is wonderful, the half an hour I spend meditating every morning. The day goes well :)
Meditation certainly has a lot of benefits.
Haven't yet realized the power of meditation...all in good time :)
