Conscious thoughtlessness to achieve lasting calmness of the mind and body. Urban Dictionary

Meditation can mean either clearing your mind of all thought, or focusing on one thought, both done in an effort to achieve enlightenment. For example, in some masters of "zen" or "chan" buddhism will give thier students koans to meditate on, such as, "What is the sound of one hand clapping?". On the other hand, many other sects teach thinking of nothing. Either way can be effective for those who engage in the activity not for religious enlightment, but simply to relax and gain a greater understanding of life. Urban Dictionary

A state of meditation that is brought about by the enviornment. It is often a sudden spontaneous transition from everyday thought to calm meditaton. Urban Dictionary

A process of focusing one’s attention in a certain manner which can create profound mind-altering states. Used in one form or another by nearly every culture in history, but today most associated with the religious traditions of South and East Asia. Commonly done today for spiritual reasons, but not always. Practiced by hipsters, hindus, high schoolers, recovering drug addicts, asians, your friend that is into yoga, your friend from work, and your friend in their mystical vegetarian Buddhist college phase. Meditation can involve several methods, including focus on vision, breathing, repetition, and sound. When practiced enough, it can result in altered brain functioning, mental disassociation, hallucinations, extreme pleasure, inner calm, mystical experiences, and improved concentration. Meditation is trendy, but its serious practice and effects are still poorly understood. Urban Dictionary

It is not to clear your mind off all things but one. It is to clear your mind of all things. To focus on the lack of thoughts that come between thoughts, and to lengthen this period to several minutes, even hours. It is only then that you can truly listen to your inner self. If you are focusing on a tree or a flower, you cannot focus on your inner self. Urban Dictionary
