Meditation is the subtlest practice of yoga and as such also the most easily misunderstood. Often meditation is compared to relaxation, but true meditation is a spiritual practice that can lead to higher levels of inner peace, fulfillment, happiness and love when practiced regularly and sincerely.
Additionally, the regular practice of meditation increases self-confidence, reduces anxiety and tension, and improves quality of sleep and concentration.
Personal meditation can be learned from a qualified teacher and practiced in daily life. Collective meditation programs help to build up, maintain and deepen one’s personal practice despite the other demands of daily life.
