There are many types of meditation. The one definition that fits almost all types is...
Consciously directing your attention to alter your state of consciousness.
There is no limit to the things you can direct your attention toward... symbols, sounds, colors, breath, uplifting thoughts, spiritual realms, etc. Meditation is simply about attention... where you direct it, and how it alters your consciousness.
What is the purpose of meditation?
Traditionally meditation was (and still is) used for spiritual growth...i.e. becoming more conscious; unfolding our inner Light, Love, & Wisdom; becoming more aware of the guiding Presence in our lives; accelerating our journey home to our True Self... our Spirit.
More recently, meditation has become a valuable tool for finding a peaceful oasis of relaxation and stress relief in a demanding, fast-paced world. Other uses include: Healing, Emotional cleansing & balancing, Deepening concentration & insight, Manifesting change, Developing intuition, Unlocking creativity, Exploring higher realities, Finding inner guidance
