Meditation is the act of altering states through peaceful retreat within. There are many meditation techniques but really the purpose of each one is to deliver you into a meditative state. As such, it is not so much the technique but more your ability to fully surrender into the process allowing it to be the vehicle that delivers you to the doorway of expansion.

Effective meditation will begin to reveal to you the nature of your true self and how you fit into the greater tapestry of life beyond the small sphere of your current awareness. It will unplug you from your personal illusions and reestablish your connection with the source of your original inspiration. Thus, the meditative state fosters the impartial observation of the self from which insight may be gleaned.
