What is Meditation or also called Mindfulness?

​

There are lots of different meanings and explanation of the word 'meditation'.  The latin 'meditator' means to think. 

Meditation also called mindfulness is a state of consciousness in which a person goes deep within themselves, focusing the mind and eliminating outside influences to produce a state of deep peace and relaxation.
