meditation is a mind control process. it's like a work out for your mind. if you go to gym to work out your body stays fit, similarly if you meditate your mind stays fit & that's very important to lead your life happily. mind is abstract but it can be divided into three catagories. one is conscious then sub-conscious & then un-conscious mind. we have full control on our conscious mind but very little control on sub-conscious one & no control at all on our un-conscious mind. sub-conscious mind is like a wild horse. it's hard to ride a wild horse but once u tame it then it follows your command & you can easily reach your destiny. meditation is a process to have full control on your sub-conscious mind. it's like a bridge in between your conscious & sub-conscious mind. & sub-conscious mind is the strongest one. let me explain in a different way. our brain is our biggest resource. human brain is 4000 times more capable than a pc. human brain shakes(brain-wave) non-stop. each seconds a brain shakes how many times is called a brain cycle. brain cycle can be catagorized into 5 stages.gama, beta, alpha, theta, delta. when your brain shakes 27 times per second or more you are in gama level. that means your brain cycle is 27 or more. for an example ,when people get so angry or frustrated brain cycle goes that high & brain performs the worst then, that's why people do stupid thing when they are mad. then beta(brain cycle 14-26) level is when you are awake in doing regular activities normally. alpha(8-13) whn you are sleepy but not sleeping. theta(4-7) whn u r in sleep. delta(.4-3) whn u r in deepest sleep. the less our brain cycle is , the better it works. that's why when we dream we don't understand that we r dreaming. as long as we dream we feel that's the reality. a dream cannot be longer than 30 seconds. but in that tiny amount of time we see a day or a 6 hours story that sharp. because our brain cycle is low & the brain works that good. but the only problem is that we don't have any control on our dream even though the brain works so good while dreaming. meditation is a process where u can reduce your brain cycle gradually & at the same time have full control on your thoughts. that means you can train your brain to perform at it's best.
