The Temple of Kriya Yoga

"Meditation is the art of inturning, focusing, and balancing the forces of your mind to a point of peace and tranquility. In the calmness of the meditative mind, all polarities are harmonized into a stillness, which is the wellspring of mental creativity. Meditation is a way of freeing the mind from past compulsion so that you might be truly "born again"; it is the art of touching the real you, beyond name and form, which is eternal, unchanging, and ever blissful."

• Meditation Teacher Training Program: A Home Study Program by Sri Goswami Kriyananda
Meditation is a spiritual practice that does not require a belief in any doctrine or theology. Anyone can benefit from its practice, regardless of cultural or religious affiliation. Meditation reduces stress and improves health, concentration, and focus. It is a tool for self-transformation that quiets the mind and leads to peace, tranquility, and wisdom. It is a turning around in consciousness that will induce an expansion in your horizon of awareness.
