Meditation is a discipline in which one attempts to get beyond the conditioned, "thinking" mind into a deeper state of relaxation or awareness. It often involves turning attention to a single point of reference. Meditation is recognized as a component of almost all religions, and has been practiced for over 5,000 years. It is also practiced outside religious traditions. Different meditative disciplines encompass a wide range of spiritual and/or psychophysical practices which can emphasize different goals - from the achievement of a higher state of consciousness, to greater focus, creativity or self-awareness, or just simply a more relaxed and peaceful frame of mind.

Traditional perceptions of our mental make-up are uncommonly useful in understanding the workings of the mind. Both the mind and the body are made up of the 'Five Great Elements' ( Panchabhutas ) of earth ( prithvi ), water ( jal ), fire ( agni or tej ), air ( vayu ) and ether or space ( akash ). Your body is made up of heavier elements, (earth and water), while the mind is made up of the lighter elements of (air and fire).

These elements are often at odds with each other, (think what you want to mentally accomplish, compared to what you physically and actually accomplish) and fall out of alignment. When our elements are out of alignment with each other friction or adverse energy builds in the body. Energy that is not aligned can prevent goals from being obtained, add unneeded stress to your life, and can eventually lead to mind or body disturbances.

Meditation is the act of clearing obstacles and realigning your mind and body in such a way that mental and physical obstacles can be removed and replaced by positive assisting energy, versus the negative opposing energy.
