When we talk of meditation techniques available… the only thought that comes to mind is attending guided meditation classes in a meditation retreat which is quite common in the West. Truthfully speaking there is no fixed technique for meditation. One can do meditation in any posture comfortable to one… either sitting, standing or lying down.
Before we talk further of meditation techniques… we need to understand the meaning of meditation in totality… the history of meditation… from where did meditation originate… the definition of meditation as it should be and not as described in various dictionaries and encyclopedias!
Meditation in Hindi means yoga. In simpler words Yoga stands for the process of synthesizing between the two. Ever since our soul atman separated from its original source, God Almighty himself… the effort of our soul atman to unite with supreme atman… the Parmatman himself (God Almighty) is termed yoga nee meditation.
