In general, “Meditation” refers to a practice where an individual uses a technique – such as invoking a mantra, or focusing the mind on a particular object, thought, or activity – to train attention and awareness, and achieve a mentally clear and emotionally calm and stable state. Meditation is practiced in numerous religious traditions. The earliest records of meditation (dhyana) are found in the Upanishads, and meditation plays a significant role in the Buddhist and Hindu traditions. Recently, meditative techniques have also been found application in non-spiritual contexts, such as business and health.
