Millions of people practice Eastern meditation, which is an essential part of Eastern religions. And, for some illogical reason, many Western adopted this practice in the hope of achieving better control of their lives, their feelings, emotions and future.

The process is more or less like this: you receive from a teacher in a word or short phrase, called mantra meditation. Then, you put in a special position with the body and proceed to "meditation". Strangely, however, the "meditation" is not intended to help better understand the meaning of the word or phrase, as we think. The purpose of repeating several times the mantra is to move from one state of consciousness to an altered mental state, which achieves a contact or with the universal consciousness, which is in fact a state of unconsciousness, or even spiritual beings who serve as "guides" to a personal spiritual progress.

The best position in which one gets to "meditate" it seemed to some that come to watch his navel and ponder on that. So this kind of "meditation" has taken the name of "navel-gazing."

course, meditating on a word or phrase you do not understand and then move into an altered state of consciousness is not what we Westerners call it meditation.

fact, meditation is meaningless if you can not meditate on a word or phrase that you can understand. Therefore, meditate on the Bible (and also in the dictionary), is to spend the time to consider the meaning and implications of a text that can be done a few or many words. Often, meditation, observe the word or text from multiple points of view, enriches and deepens the meaning to the point that you begin to understand what you've never seen before.

In the case of biblical meditation, the text is the rich self-revelation that God has given to men, so, meditation is essential. Otherwise there will understand just a small part of what God has meant.

Other than spend hours to "meditate" nothing. The man "blessed", described by King David meditated on the Word of God, that God's law, and learned more and more. As you do, too.
