The purpose of meditation differs depending on whom you ask: For some it is self-purification, others relaxation, still others deep concentration. Yet most would agree that meditation is a way to reconnect to ourselves by learning to listen, observe and stay in the present moment. Through meditation, we become aware and mindful, and we wake up. Regardless of purpose, meditation is a method to relax and free ourselves from anxiety and fear.
