Meditation 1 × 1

The concept of meditation is not easy to grasp. It can best be described as the collective name of a series of intellectual practices and techniques. It refers to practices and techniques that help focus attention, develop increased self-awareness, spiritual enlightenment, and calm the mind. And with all this, they have countless positive effects on the mind and soul of the meditator.

Meditation itself is not a new thing, many cultures have been practicing it for millennia. These include Hinduism, Islam, Christianity and, of course, Buddhism. Its spread across the world has also brought with it the emergence of several newer types of meditation. Thus, it is now used completely independently of any religion, even as part of psychotherapeutic treatments, as an adjunct to sports activities, or to treat medical conditions. Thanks to its widespread use, meditation is already available in countless forms in Budapest.
