Buddhist Meditation
Broadly speaking, Buddhist Meditation is an opportunity to relax and lay aside one's concerns so that one can allow the mind to see more deeply into the nature of reality. Every form of meditation uses some object on which to direct the attention. Buddhists can use the sensations of the breath, the emotional connection with the self and others, the physical sensations of the body, sounds, visualized images, etc.
This kind of meditation has been shown to have many medical and psychological benefits, such as promoting a sense of wellbeing, boosting the immune system, lowering blood pressure, reducing stress and slowing aging.
