Chapter 6 Lesson 5

My note:
What is meditation?

The English meditation is derived from the Latin meditatio, from a verb meditari, meaning "to think, contemplate, devise, ponder, meditate".
Buddhists and Hindus use the root word dhyaai

Some believe Meditation to be focussed attention. 
Rhythmic chants are sometimes prescribed. One of it's benefits is to stop the chatter of the mind and help to meditate.
There are various meditative techniques

1) One focusses ones attention on a chosen object.

2) One practices complete awareness of the experience from moment to moment."

3) follow thoughts as a puppy follows any pair of legs it finds into motion 
Also, observe thoughts as a man stationed at his window watchers passers by at the street.

4) Become aware and only observe the air as it comes in and goes out through the nostrils without controlling the breathing or attempting to deepen it.

One important Oriental Master said: ' Your breathing is your greatest friend. Return to it in all your troubles and you will find comfort and guidance'
