Meditation is one of the most natural and yet most profoundly rewarding of all human activities. It is a simple process that can be done anywhere and anytime. Chances are, in fact, that you've already touched meditation at some point in your life—at the beach, perhaps, while gazing at the immensity of the ocean, or even in the stillness of being with someone dear to you. And because the experience is so rewarding, people often work their entire lives trying to recreate those same outward circumstances.

Little do they realize that with only a little instruction they can create those moments of calmness, clarity, and deep feeling at will and literally transform their entire experience of life! Indeed, almost everyone who takes up meditation as a daily practice—even ten minutes twice a day is enough—soon wonders how they ever got along without it. From physical healing and stress reduction to mental and emotional clarity to spiritual awakening and intuition, the benefits of meditation are astounding.

Fortunately, meditation is no longer something that's done only by world-renouncing ascetics and monks. It can be learned and practiced by anyone. And while meditation is, at its core, a spiritual practice, it's not based on dogma, faith, ritual, or belief. Rather, it's concerned, like science, with experimentation, discovery, and direct experience. Thus meditation has proven helpful for people of all faiths, and even no faith at all, to discover for themselves—in a most practical, down-to-earth way—the universal and timeless truths underlying every religious tradition.

For meditation is simply the process of reclaiming what you already are. It's returning to your own center—to your true self—and deepening your relationship to the very source of Life. As such, meditation is not an escape from reality, as its detractors sometimes claim, but rather the way to fully engage in reality on every level.
