Meditation is the practice of focusing the mind on a particular objective.
There are various forms of mediation but the main goals are to provide mental stability, clarity and health to those partaking in the practice.
Meditation has been tied with many religious practices throughout history including but not limited to Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism and Judaism, however, in a modern context, it is widely practiced in a non-religious way by various people around the world today.
Meditation has even been scientifically proven to reduce stress and have other positive health benefits on those that undertake the practice in the correct manner.
