meditation the process of simplifying thought patterns in order to reach a point of mental relaxation at which spiritual reflection and growth are possible. Many techniques of meditation are used in Eastern religions. Concentrating on an art form, ringing a bell, or creating a droning sound by rubbing the top of a bowl with a stick are some examples of meditation; reciting a mantra is another. A mantra is a short phrase that is repeated over and over in order to achieve a peaceful trance while meditating. During the hippie era, the practice of meditation was introduced into Western culture. Today many people have followed the hippie lead and are using Eastern meditation as a way to relax and retreat from the pressures and turmoil of everyday life.
