According to Buddha, meditation is the "means of transforming the mind". What meditation does is develop concentration, clarity, emotional positivity, and a calm seeing of the true nature of things. This focused state of mind can provide a soothing and a peaceful feel. Oddly, meditation is a form of focusing. It is genuinely difficult for a mind to focus on one thing at a time. As most of high school students know, studying is difficult because although we want to focus on retaining the information, it is hard to focus with other distractions around. Meditation is a state of thoughtless awareness. Meditation creates deep peace because the mind is calm and silent, yet completely aware.
Everyone has their own method of meditation, but these steps seemed the most accurate with the steps we do in class. The first step of meditation is rhythmic breathing. As the breathing becomes rhythmic your tensions when begin to disintegrate. The second step is detached observation. IN other words, detach yourself from the mind. The third step is the step of peace. for example think about a rock sifting through the waves and attain ultimate peace. The fourth step is meditation on your immorality. In the last step you breathe out peace and happiness, goodwill and bliss to all.
