I have already discussed that meditation is a subjective thing. There are various definitions and explanations of Meditation. People use different techniques to achieve different goals through Meditation. History remains unable to locate the person, who first started Meditation to attain self integrity and peace of mind. I will start chapter with the definitions of Meditations.

Word’s History

The word “Meditation” roots back to a Latin word

“Meditation”. The word “Meditation” means to think, to think about something or to consider something. Later, people started using this word with reference to spiritual practices followed by Eastern world. Buddhists use word “dhyana” which is equivalent to meditation. Meditation is basically the word, which is used in modern English. Previously, it was used with different names. Now, it has been confirmed that meditation is equivalent to the Christian term “Contemplation” in its meaning and perspectives.

Various Definitions of Meditation

There is not any single definition of meditation. Several personalities have elaborated the meanings of meditation with their own perspectives.

We will look at some widely used definitions of meditation:

Some scholars define meditation as steady thought and consideration. This is the most basic and quite open definition of meditation. This definition presents only one thing that one has to think about something, but this definition does not tell on which object one should concentrate? Usually teachers ask students to concentrate on their studies. Is it really

According to second type of definition, meditation is a pious religious or spiritual thought. This definition also limits the meaning of meditation by connecting it to only religious thoughts. Other thoughts and ideas are discarded in this way.

Meditation is a process of continuously thinking upon a specific idea, verse or object. This concentration is equivalent to the process in which cattle chews cud endlessly.

Some definitions consider day dreaming as meditation, but there is much controversy exists in taking it as meditation. Day dreaming cannot be called as meditation, because it is usually a conscious process. Moreover, it does not give the same spiritual and healing effects which are attached with meditation.

Overall, meditation is an internal practice of a person which takes several forms. It mainly changes the mind of an individual, which brings peace to the mind and gives relief from mental stresses.
