When we are in a state of deep sleep, where even our dreams have gone to rest, then our mind is immersed in the infinite, but we are not normally conscious of this experience. This is what Jesus also called, The peace that passes all understanding. The chatter of our minds at times becomes so restless that we can not even sleep, or rest. This constant internal dialogue often distracts us from the beauty of our life. This constant and incessant thinking can drive us crazy.
Meditation is an ancient art, a way of quieting the mind.
Today, these very same techniques are used. Over the years meditation has been named many things, such as Relaxation Response, Deep Relaxation, Relaxation Training, and so on. Each of these is a form of the various meditation techniques. At first, through meditation, we soon experience calmness, and a quietness within. This relieves stress, tension, and increases our awareness.
