A number of techniques have been developed in meditation to promote relaxation, build internal energy and to develop compassion, love, patience, generosity and forgiveness.
Meditation is a practice in which one trains the mind or induces a mode of consciousness, either to gain some benefit or to mentally recognise content without feeling identified with it.
Today there are many types of meditation practiced in Western culture. Conscious breathing and progressive muscle relaxation have been found beneficial at a cognitive level.
