Meditation means concentrating on something. It may be on the breath or on a picture or on some speech. It is only the ultimate way to understand the universe and its components. It is only the source to know oneself. Long back saints explained its importance, gradually set aside with deterioration of moral values. In recent years, again it gets importance.


Experiments by the scientists proved the importance of meditation in daily life. Posner, a scientist with his research team, conducted experiments on 58 Chinese graduates. He had instructed them to meditate for two weeks for 20mts. He compared the brain scanning before and after meditation. The team proved that there are positive changes in Grey layer, which control the logic and memory.


Similar studies are carried out by Richardson during 2012 on Buddhist monk and attached 256 sensors while he was in meditation. The study also proved the same.


‘Meditation is only the process available to know the secrecy of life’.
