Meditation is a practice that brings to an individual balance on physical, mental, emotional and spiritual levels. Historically, meditation has been used to develop insight and wisdom, as well as inner harmony and spiritual growth. Today, the health benefits of meditation are widely known and it is being used as a method to treat anxiety, stress and depression.

Traditionally, there are two main types of meditation: mindfulness meditation and concentration meditation. In Mindfulness meditation, the goal is an increased awareness of one's environment without concentrating on specifics within the environment. In Concentration meditation, the goal is to still the mind by focusing intensely on one item, such as a mantra or one's breathing.

Meditations can also be used to project harmony or well-being to others. An example of this is the Metta Meditation, which sends out the energy of loving-kindness from the one meditating out to the world to alleviate suffering and foster loving-kindness between all living beings.

The goal of this Mediation Room is to help individuals learn the basics of meditation and to share meditations both for personal spiritual growth and to help others in spiritual need.

Much Metta,
