Dhyana, or meditation is a form of mindful rest, it is when ones daily thoughts and agitations are seized, and the only thing remaining is awareness of your conscious state of mind. Meditation has been linked to several religious practices such as Hinduism or Buddhism, however meditation does not need to be done for religious motives. Meditation over time has developed from other cultures into Western traditions, and today is actually prescribed by physicians to reduce mental and physical illness. For instance several studies suggest Meditation may alleviate pain and mental stress like anxiety, depression, attention deficit disorder, and increase concentration. Yet pharmaceuticals have been treating patients with mental illnesses for decades. However, studies also show that not all psychological stress can be cured. Researches said they found no significant sign of benefits toward attention, sleep, eating habits, or substance abuse. Meditation is said to relieve stress, but it is notdone whimsically; meditation requires much concentration and practice. If someone is suffering from severe depression meditation might appear to be a daunting task.
