You then wrote: "He is certainly notable for Advaita Vedanta, the math system, the Swami order, and more, but as a teacher of meditation there are probably many who are more notable." I doubt the opening "He" is this sentence refers to Anantanand Rambachan. It must therefore refer to Vivekananda. You did not indicate you were quoting from Vivekananda...if so you would surely have also given the specific text quoted from so one could verify that Vivekananda said this and in what context, it being such an unusual claim. Instead the way you presented this quote it was from Rambuchan..hence the logical fallacy of appealing to Vivekanada's authority. If you are expecting someone to accept you can win an argument this way, without actually citing the speciifc place where Vivekananda said what you claim, then that is an instance of argumentum ad verecundiam on your part

is experienced throughout waking activities. As the eminent authority on Hindu meditation Barbara Stoler Miller states in her commentary on the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali: "Even meditation and certain levels of pure contemplation are based on past experiences that leave traces, which Patanjali calls 'seeds' (bija) (BkI vv41-46). Contemplation without seeds (nirbija samadhi) is a hyperconscious condition in which thought is tranquil and totally integrated; so that it leaves no 'seeds' to mature into further thoughts." References 15 Patanjali Yoga Sutras Bk III Verse 3: "When the perceiving consciousness in this meditative is wholly given to illuminating the essential meaning of the object contemplated, and is freed from the sense of separateness and personality, this is contemplation (samadhi)."

meditation are inherently different. And I do not (repeat not) have scientific evidence for the next statement, so just consider it a passing remark: but I am ready to bet that brain scans of people performing meditation in different cultures will show different patterns. Now that comment aside, I think the handwriting is on the wall that this article is on its way to split 3 or 4 ways within a year or less, with a shorter "general meditation" introduction at the beginning and each of the separate "types of meditation" being given its own focus. For instance I do not know how Indian approaches differ from what the Japanese do in Shinto. I do not know the needed categorization and the required ontology, but I am sure all participants herein will learn about them over the next year as this doscussion inevitably expands. It will be interesting to learn these issues. That is Knowledge.

that I was "really" surprised to learn about Hitbodedut. It involves screaming, so it is not a purely repetitive activity. Next, what is the "thinking mind"? I am really not sure what that means either. In fact, I think that field is unclear to me, and as a reader explanations will be appreciated. My problem is that I do not understand how meditation works, and do not seem to be getting answers from this article, or the literature. The books that "sell meditation" seem to be too soft in their logic, and most of the academics seem to be drawing blanks. Any solid ideas will be appreciated. In fact, I left a message for teh Health researcher who started editing, to see if he/she has any ideas. Anyway, better explanations are certainly needed. By the way, how about the 3 classes that reference had, eastern/secular/western. Do you like that? Thanks.

4517:"In mindfulness meditation, the subject sits comfortably, in silence, centring attention by focusing mental awareness an object or process (either the breathing process, a sound, a mantra koan or riddle evoking questions, a visualisation, or an exercise) and then consciously is encouraged to scan their thoughts in an open focus, shifting freely from one perception to the next (Kutz et al., 1985a, b). No thought, image or sensation is considered an intrusion. The meditator, with a `no effort’ attitude, is asked to remain in the here and now. Using the focus as an `anchor’ (Teasdale et al., 1995) brings the subject constantly back to the present, avoiding cognitive analysis or fantasy regarding the contents of awareness, and increasing tolerance and relaxation of secondary thought processes." (p. 49) 4386:- it's not only jargon ("secondary thought processes"?), but IMO it's also quite misleading. Is meditation all about "remaining in the here and now"? Not in my experience. I would describe meditation as a process of letting go, how can you let go if you are hanging onto the "here and now", or anything else for that matter? Practically the only useful quote in the article that I have read, and that is not terribly accessible, is the quote from J. Krishnamurti, and that is way down in the article. In short, I was pleased to see the "auto-transcending" quote because it's the only one that resonated with me, and while by no means an ideal source, I thought that until something more appropriate is found, it's better than nothing. 1792:(see wiki entry). You attempt to win the argument not by addressing the merits but by claiming that I have some personal interest in Vivekananda and Hinduism. I don't (as you would have seen by my earleir rejected comments about Guru's exploiting bhakti, and kundalini and karma yoga)(I'm not a Hindu). But I do think that the Hindus should have a chance to have their system of meditation presented on its own terms and not blanded out by Buddhists. I have felt a lot of injustice about the way quite a few of you have (in what appears to be a type of editorial clique or cabal) deleted work without prior consultation and to my mind have failed to presnet a 'Hindu' version of meditation. 4285:). Having read a great deal of meditation research literature, I had never before seen this category until I saw it highlighted here in Knowledge. Inspection of the Travis and Shear (2010) paper, which has not yet even been assigned a volume, issue, and page numbers, indicates that they are "proposing" this category (the opening words of the abstract are "This paper proposes a third meditation-category — automatic self-transcending"). Thus, in contrast to the broad division of mindfulness vs concentrative, which I have seen cited very widely in the meditation literature for decades, we are proposing to elevate a newly concocted category to equivalent prominence. This seems like 237:

ideological bias or ignorance. That the latter may be the case is suggested by that editor not knowing that different types of samadhi are described in the later chapters of Patanjali's yoga sutras and his/her comments that it is a confusion to regard yoga as meditation (despite yoga being a specific school of Hindu philosophy (see main Wiki entry) and the word itself being a description of meditation). I have reported him/her formally for vandalism as he/she continued despite warning. If this has been going on for long no wonder this section read like gibberish when I first looked at it and calls for an expert were being made (deliberate prolonged Vandalism).

article) that meditation systems may represent a "family resemblance" with no single defining feature, may in fact be correct. In that case, we would need to face the fact that no definition or set of examples that we give could keep everyone 100% happy. Perhaps the best we can do is to try to keep most of the people happy most of the time, so to speak, and to make sure that caveats are mentioned (e.g., Bond's ideas about family resemblance, though perhaps we'll want to re-express them in simpler language if we can). I've run out of time for now, but I wanted to mention that book as a potentially useful resource.

1759:(see wiki entry). You make emotivist assertions that lucid comments are hard to decipher, that I need to gather my thoughts, that I'm assuming bad faith etc etc chiefly to discredit my suggestions. The real question for example is...did I misquote from the Crest Jewel of Wisdom. If not...do those quotes suggest Adi Shankara is refuting that Moksa can be attained from ^concentration. If they suggest the opposite then it is of minor significance what Vivekananda (if he did say it) might have said at some point about Shankara. Why don't you address that and stop trying to win the argument by attacking me personally 4434:

the best setting for meditation likewise cover a full spectrum..." (pp. 102-103). Later he says "different meditation systems may espouse wholly contradictory views from one another on the necessity for virtually every preparatory act" (p. 107). But "the strongest agreement among meditation schools is on the importance of retraining attention. All these systems can be broadly categorized in terms of the major strategies for retraining attention described (earlier): concentration or mindfulness" (p. 104; Table 2 on p. 106 also includes a category of "integrated", ie, a combination of concentration/mindfulness).

4714:). Maybe in the recently created "Definitions" section we should add some material that notes that the word "meditation" is used in diverse ways (even leaving aside differences in actual practices). For example, perhaps we could say that "meditation" often refers to a method of practice, but sometimes also refers to a "state" (your word) that is attained (or in some views gifted by grace) in the midst of a period of practicing the method. Of course, we'd want sources, but I think sources for something along these lines should be comparatively easy to find. 3782:, in material and a citation added today to the article. Furthermore, according to Bond et al's synthesis of views of a group of 7 experts trained in diverse methods/traditions (including "relaxation response" and "mindfulness-based stress reduction"), all but one expert agreed that "being embedded in a religious/spiritual/philosophical context" is "important but not essential" (see tabulation in Table 3, page 134). I regard the fact that this WP page gives extensive attention to the religious/spiritual context as highly appropriate. 4603:

of "a two or three sentence blurb" is probably way too long. I'd envision something more like a 2- or 3-column right-floating table, perhaps in small font, in which col 1 is the name of the method (with an internal link), col 2 is the name of the tradition/source (e.g., something like "Roman Catholicism", "Buddhism", "non-Sectarian", "Clinical", etc.), and col 3 could be a very succinct neutral, non-puffed-up description of the method or what is distinctive about it (perhaps with a strict word limit - maybe 15 words?).

3700:. It does not seem to support the view you stated above. Do you have references to support the view above, e.g. that meditation is well understood? According to Everly and Lating , "After 60 years of scientific study, the exact mechanism at work in meditation remains unclear." I have been trying to understand meditation by reading this article and searching references, and I can not see how "There is broad agreement as to how it is done" for it seems to be a different activity in different circles, e.g. is 638:"Meditation has been laid stress upon by all religions. The meditative state of mind is declared by the Yogis to be the highest state in which the mind exists. When the mind is studying the external object, it gets identified with it, loses itself. To use the simile of the old Indian philosopher: the soul of man is like a piece of crystal, but it takes the colour of whatever is near it. Whatever the soul touches ... it has to take its colour. That is the difficulty. That constitutes the bondage." 3544:

somewhat intensive activity. E.g. Raniero Cantalamessa characterized the difference between Christian meditation and contemplation as follows: "In meditation, the search for truth prevails while in contemplation, delight in the found truth prevails." So again, not knowing the entire eastern spectrum, it seems that the tranquility that the eastern meditation seeks is called contemplation in the western approach. Next question: if there is a general issue of God being involved or not, then the

4738:. Period. As a reader, I have been advised not to try to understand meditation by reading this article. That means that the article has failed. I think it is a haphazard collection/collage of subsections, with no coherence, and really needs a "low quality" or "let it be rewritten" flag at the top. It does not define what the topic is, what types of it there are and how they relate or differ from each other. So it needs a serious cleanup anyway, not all this discussion of details. 4558:

and clear so that a beginner could easily access this information, along with links to more detailed information elsewhere on Knowledge. This page also has the potential of becoming a sort of thematic overview of the various meditation styles practiced around the world today, which would promote tolerance and acceptance of the religious sentiments of others as well as fitting the modern Western mind of empiricism turning inward. makeswell 00:37, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

TM-generated concept that has not yet shown it will stand the test of time, or generate interest among meditation scholars outside of TM -- or perhaps even among other TM scholars (to the extent they function independently)!

I also think it's ok to have a couple of notable yoga school/teachers giving a definition of meditation. Vivekananda is one example, but that long block quote is surely not the best from him. Avalon/Woodroffe is also not a reliable source, imo.

He is certainly notable for Advaita Vedanta, the math system, the Swami order, and more, but as a teacher of meditation there are probably many who are more notable. I did leave a mention of him in the article, by the way, so please demonstrate some honesty and inegrity.

Once we've settled on texts for the concentrative and mindfulness methods, we could move on to try to find the best text for the "other" category (e.g., Bond et al's category for both the field and focal points).

Seeing as how this section has largely remained unaltered in over a year and also is vastly incomplete, it seems we might just want to link to other webpages on Knowledge with more specific types of meditation information and include here a two or three sentence blurb about the meditation style.

2411:(Feel free to comment there if you have an opinion). Be that as it may, just because a group is or isn't a cult doesn't seem to be a consideration for this article. The movement itself claims to be secular, though some U.S. courts have ruled that it is a religion. Taking it on its own terms, we could insert a line in the "Secular practices" section. 1253:). For example, "Two highly revered exponents of Yoga meditation in the late 19th century were Swami Ramakrishna" - using Google books, there is not a single Reliable source that ties together Ramakrishna and the phrase "Yoga meditation". There is much more, but too much to go into detail. I support the removal of all of this material. 4690:

and sensations go by. That is just a means by which you learn not to identify with, or be distracted by, such phenomena. Once you have ceased to be distracted, then you are able to drop into the state known as meditation, which I would describe as akin to sleep, except that you retain a level of awareness at some level.

I think that statement in the lead is in fact incorrect in the "general sense" in any case.
