From time immoral, it was believed that the Hindu religious ceremonies encouraged the practice of Meditation and Yoga and further, it carries its existence in Buddhism, Jainism, Islam, Christianity etc.

Meditation Techniques
“Meditation” is based purely at one’s breath; the vital force of energy behind one’s existence. Our body acts as a bag for the air to get filled in and in the process; it gives us the energy/life to respond to the nature, to other fellow beings and to ourselves.
Two most general technique of Mediation involves the breath; the “Concentrative Meditation Technique” insists one to concentrate on his/her breathing and to a single object or sound from the nature and to encourage the mind to the same fully. Slowly, one would identify that their mind is glowing with an eternal peacefulness and the body is relaxed providing the necessary healing touch to one’s life.
In Mindfulness technique one has to pay attention and focus to all the sensations and feelings but to be within themselves. During the process, the person will be conscious of their thought patterns and will analyze them the most objectively without allowing them to be caught up in the process themselves. One will slowly identify that they are freed from their emotional state of mind and their body is getting a gentle massage of cool water/wind; which is the ultimate state of joy we aim for.
