Meditation – Living in Mindfulness

Meditation refers to a group of mental practices that have been passed down through various traditions for thousands of years and, since the 20th century, have increasingly been practiced and researched in a secular manner in the Western world.
A key element of meditative techniques is the conscious regulation of attention.
Depending on the context, the practice of meditation aims to bring about lasting positive changes in thinking, feeling and perception, or to lead to specific religiously defined insights and states.
Effects of meditation training on cognition, emotion, brain function, the immune system, epigenetics and mental health are scientifically documented.
Meditation is a central element in various religious traditions — particularly Buddhism, but also Hinduism, Confucianism, Christianity and others.
