Meditation Is Not Just About the Paraphernalia

Meditation is a practical and scientific tool. It's not about turning yourself into a god or a goddess. You don't need to have buddhia statues in your house. There doesn't necessarily need to be an ideology attached to meditation. If you just meditate once, it's like going to the gym - if you do it more than one time 'you probably won't get much result' The types of meditation that i'm interested in are not about transcendental states. I would recommend sticking to the simpler, non sectarian meditation systems. These include breath awareness, body scanning, abdominal breathing,. embodiment exercises.
