According to the dictionary, meditation stands for: “contemplation, reflection, concentration on the inner self”. There is little floaty about it. It is a practical training in becoming aware of what is going on inside yourself. However, it originally comes from Asia, which means that the method is unknown to many people. In addition, it quickly evokes associations with incense, lotus postures, Buddha figurines and meditation cushions. Funnily enough, these elements are not necessary at all in meditation, but some find these aspects helpful.
