Modern Meditation

Meditation is becoming a more frequently hear term these days. But what it refers to remains somewhat ambiguous. When something of such an esoteric nature reaches the mainstream of a consumer-based society such as ours, there is bound to be a great space for misrepresentation. The terminology surrounding the topic, such as Emptiness, Enlightenment, and Oneness, just doesn’t have a foundation in western culture. Nevertheless, some interesting interpretations of, and variations, on the concept of meditation have evolved. There is even an extensive array of technologies to assist in the practice that was once considered only properly undertaken solitarily in a remote location.  In this blog, we will be exploring the effect modern society has had on the practice of meditation and the advantages and disadvantages of combining it with modern scientific method.
