Meditation has been practiced for its medicinal properties since the early years of the human race. Its healing properties have long remained unexplained, creating great curiosity about its wonderful effects on the human body and mind. Meditation has its roots in the Buddhist tradition and has two main categories of practice: concentrated and focused meditation. However, all forms of meditation are practiced in similar ways despite their distinct names. The benefits of meditation are felt subjectively but are also supported by scientific evidence. An individual can practice meditation sitting, lying down or even in a yoga pose. Continuous practice of meditation training strengthens the immune system, promotes positive thinking and improves concentration and attention. The meditation practices analyzed in this article are mindfulness, loving-kindness, and prayer. Mindfulness Meditation Having awareness of your surroundings while accepting your current life circumstances is the essence of mindfulness meditation training. The benefits that an individual can gain after regular practice can be measured and examined at the molecular level of the human body. Furthermore, the individual's behaviors and attitudes mature with great enthusiasm in everyday life. When performing mindfulness meditation, the individual attempts to silence the mind and become aware of every sense of the body. External factors should not distract the individual from moving away from the pose, but rather use the distraction as a means to create a stronger willpower to overcome any disturbances.
