The Art of Living : Vipassana Meditation as Taught By S.N. Goenka
The Art of Living : Vipassana Meditation | A Meditation Audio Books
Meditation is a discipline in which the mind is focused on an object of thought or awareness. Meditation usually involves turning attention to a single point of reference. The practice may engender a higher state of consciousness. Meditation is recognized as a component of eastern religions, where it has been practiced for over 5,000 years. Meditative disciplines encompass a wide range of spiritual and/or psychophysical practices which can emphasize development of either a high degree of mental concentration, or the apparent converse, mental quiescence.
The word meditation comes from the Latin meditatio, which originally indicated every type of physical or intellectual exercise, then later evolved into the more specific meaning “contemplation.” Eastern spiritual teachings, including meditation, have been adapted and increasingly practiced in Western culture.
