Meditation is an ancient method of employing the mind-body connection to achieve specific developmental goals. All meditation methods are effective in reducing stress, but they do so in different ways. For example, the earliest methods meant to explore the field of consciousness beyond the physical universe, as the material world was seen as illusory and limiting. As a by-product, these methods eliminate stress by creating detachment. In contrast, modern methods of meditation honour the physical world as the final step in spirituality, and honour the problems of life as the stimuli of growth. They do not create detachment; they create creativity.
Meditations come from the desire to explore what it is to be human, and what is the purpose of life.
