A LITTLE HISTORY OF WHERE IT ALL STARTED
Meditation has over the years changed in form and in the way in which it's practised all over the world, and there are so many variations of it today.
However, Meditation originated in India, a very long time ago. The oldest documented evidence of the practice of meditation are wall arts in the Indian subcontinent from approximately 5,000 to 3,500 BCE, showing people seated in meditative postures with half-closed eyes. (Sanskrit: ध्यान, Pali: झान) means "contemplation, reflection" and "profound, abstract meditation".
The root of the word is Dhi, which in the earliest layer of the text of the Vedas refers to "imaginative vision" and is associated with goddess Saraswati with powers of knowledge, wisdom and poetic eloquence.
Believers say the Hindu Deity, Lord Shiva is also known as Adiyogi Shiva, regarded as the patron god of yoga, meditation and arts.
Now you know a brief history and insight into one of THE most powerful practices we can all experience...effortlessly!
That way of being still with ourselves, coming back to the centre, and recognising that something is important than you - It's more important than the work you are doing, brings a kind of energy, an intention that we have never had before.
