Meditation Techniques

Buddha described meditation as, ‘Any action done with awareness is meditation. Meditation means to be fully aware of our actions, thoughts, feelings and emotions. Another name of meditation is passive awareness.’

Some people think that meditation is thinking about God. Whereas, it is an art of staying in this present. Meditating daily for few minutes is very beneficial to our body and soul.
