Preferred term

meditation  

Definition

  • Meditation involves a focused state of calmness and detached awareness and is often described in the literature as a “state of being” or “nothingness.” Meditation is the ancient practice of allowing oneself to be in, or putting oneself into, a frame of mind without any purpose. Furthermore, meditation is not daydreaming, nor is it imagery, nor is it an altered state, like hypnosis. [Source: Encyclopedia of Trauma: An Interdisciplinary Guide; Meditation]
