What is Meditation?

"Meditation is unmanipulated experience."
-Adyashanti

"Mindfulness is being fully present, on purpose, paying attention in the present moment, non-judgmentally."
-University of Wisconsin Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction Program

"Found in cultures, spiritual traditions, and disciplines throughout the world, meditation is a mind-body practice with many methods and variations, all of which are grounded in the silence and stillness of present moment awareness."
-Integrative Medicine, 2nd Edition, "Recommending Meditation"

See the University of Wisconsin Integrative Medicine patient handout on meditation (pdf).
