Meditation is the art of calming the mind and focusing it on a spiritual object.
The spiritual object depends on you. It could be a candle flame, a cross, a rose or a feeling, like love or joy. It could also be a sound or a taste, or the flow of breath in your nostrils. In fact, the spiritual object could be a spiritual person, if you prefer. In this case it is easiest to concentrate on the person's eyes, hands or feet.
