found it relaxing. For these people this was their goal

               and  having  relaxed  they  thought  they  were  fulfilled.

               There are many forms of meditation but there is only one

               form when it is defined as spiritual meditation. Spiritual

               meditation is a sacred practice and should not be used for

               any other reason than to allow our Spirit connect with

               the  Spirit.  In  spiritual  meditation  we  raise  our

               consciousness to a level where we can release our spirit

               from our ego. To enable this to happen we need to have

               the intent and then find a secure place or group to work
               with.  This  can  be  very  hard  to  find  as  so  many  are


               proclaiming that they will teach you meditation and will
               offer  you  whatever  form  you  like.  It's  like  offering

               different flavour drinks and yet in the end they all taste

               the same. It would appear that mindfulness is a form of

               Buddhist  meditation  and  therefore  not  spiritual

               meditation but often confused with the real thing. If

               practiced  regularly  spiritual  meditation  can  greatly

               assist  you  in  finding  your  own  personal  spiritual
