The art of meditation

At the luxury hotel in Alicante Asia Gardens Hotel & Thai Spa, we help people find balance and spiritual and physical wellbeing. That is why today we want to talk more in depth about the art of meditation.

Meditation is a millenary practice through which an individual trains the mind to reduce stress and change his emotions. Its main goal is focusing and relaxing the mind till release conscience.

Meditation has been practiced in many different religions and believes since antiquity. It is mainly used to clear the mind and alleviate certain health problems such as high pressure, anxiety or depression.

It is considered to be the fourth state of consciousness; the other three states are: wakefulness, dreaming and sleeping. This fourth state increases the activity related to positive emotions and decreases the one related to anger and fear. Besides, it also increases attention span.

Meditation can be practiced wherever and whenever you like. The most common position to practice it is sat or lied down with your eyes closed. People often repeat a sound or sentence known as mantra to focus better.

There are many different types of meditation. Some of the most important ones are Zen meditation and Vipassana meditation.
