Meditation – Then and Now (What is Meditation?)

Meditation – Then and Now (What is Meditation?)
by: yesplus.org   //   length: 2.51

VIDEO SUMMARY
This video created by yesplus.org explains some of the history of meditation and how early humans learned to quiet their minds and by doing so, learned to receive great insight. They figured out that meditating was one of the most efficient ways to relax the mind. Over time, the ways and powers of meditation had gotten lost and it stopped spreading through the word of mouth. If we fast forward to modern times, we find that people began getting back in touch with quieting their mind and started visiting the “masters” in India to uncover the secrets of meditation. Today the word has spread again and people all over are learning to meditate. Science is teaching us that the early meditators were correct and that the benefits of meditation are extraordinary.
