2. Introduction
Meditation is a practice involving the development and
expansion of internal awareness. Today, many recognize
meditation as a valuable source for the relief of mental stress,
anxiety, and depression.
Originally meditation was practiced as a means for spiritual
growth. By turning the mind inwards, practitioners of
meditation found that they could awaken their minds to more
subtle layers of their beings. They also found that behind the
backdrop of awareness rests an eternal state of
consciousness.

4. How is Meditation Effective?
Meditation as a complementary tool for health and wellness is
effective when practiced regularly under guidance from an
experienced practitioner. When practiced in this manner,
meditation can help in both the prevention of and recovery from
both mental and physical diseases and disorders.
The power of meditation rests in its ability to expand the
capacity of the human mind for emotional sensitivity and
thought development. Emotional sensitivity comes from the
expansion of self-awareness. Thought development arises from
concentration and mental focus.
