Dahn Yoga members and employees alike are strongly motivated by their own sense of enjoyment and commitment. Meditation is practiced by various groups, both religious and non religious. It involves seclusion of an individual or a group of persons and seeking to focus on the higher purpose in life.
There are various ways of meditating. Some of the ways are inspired by the religious teachings or traditions passed down the generations. More often than not, it involves a quiet moment and focus on a single thing. It may also be referred to as prayers offered in serenity.
Among the Buddhists, meditation is inspired by Buddha himself (Siddhartha Gautama) who is said to have gotten inspiration for the religion’s teaching while meditating under the Bodhi tree. The followers are inspired to conduct their meditation in similar style. The goal in Buddha meditation is to be able to focus on one thing as it brings you enlightenment. During the meditation exercise, the mediators focus their attention on their god and you to keep off other thoughts. It equally leads to enlightening and is called samatha. Vipassana is a form of meditation that seeks to reveal the truth in nature. It gives perspective to the individual that hopefully results in harmony with the environment and the neighbors.
The Christians have meditation though also referred to as prayers by some members. There is a difference between the two in that meditation often involves quite prayers offered in quite places. There are special groups that have been founded to meditate. A group of monks formed by John Main, a Benedictine monk 1975 has emerged to be on 1975 has emerged as a strong meditation group. Other meditation forms include recounting of the certain words as is the case in rosary prayers. The memorization of biblical verses and recounting them over a period of time or chanting specific prayers is also a common form of meditation.
In the Muslim tradition, there are various schools of meditations. These include Tafakkur which is a meditation to reflect on the universe. It enables one to be become self aware and also aware of god. The individual also gains inner growth through learning to be submissive to both men and god.
Whatever the form of meditation, there is a common factor, that of having to seek a higher being. It takes seeking the inner purpose and seeking connection with cosmic. The results are often admirable as it leads to more respectful, tolerant and humble men and women.
