Meditation

People meditate for various reasons. For some it is a way of getting closer to Spirit. For others it's about clearing the mind for inspiration and creativity. I believe meditation is what one makes of it. I believe it has been very useful for me. Studies have shown the meditation is beneficial to the health. The happiest people are the ones who take the time to clear their mind, detach themselves from the world for a moment and relax, no matter how stressful their days have been.

Active meditation is what I do on a daily basis. In my case, the active meditation is dancing. I find that when I do so, I ususally get answers or ideas for projects I work on, most of the time unintentionally. Active meditation is a very simple process and anyone can do it if they choose. For me, it's simply zoning out, except not really because I'm very aware of what's going on. It happens a lot when I'm dancing. Most of the time when I dance, it becomes an active mediation and the music in the background helps me to stay focused.

Here is a link I found on active mediation that may help you understand. Although what they are suggesting people do is not what I have originally learned about active mediation, I can relate to a lot of what is being said on thgat page.

Sitting down meditation is something I find is a little difficult for me. The following are links about meditation that may be helpful for you or anyone else interested in learning about meditation:
