Simply experience meditation on its own

Meditation is however essentially experiential, and so the real way to learn how to meditate is to trust yourself sufficiently with your own sense of need, and a sense that you have found a fit to something that connects you to your inner world.People sometimes assume that meditation is linked to Buddhism in such a way as to imply that one leads onto the other. They can feel that meditation is in some sense a hook into a type of religion or dogma.This is a pity, because whilst meditation is an integral part of Buddhism, it is perfectly viable and indeed encouraged for people to simply experience meditation on its own, without ever taking any further steps into actively studying Buddhism.It is also true that meditation as a process can be learned and studied completely independent of Buddhism. Meditation is often seen as a stress relieving technique, or an aid to relaxation.The most simple types of meditation involve different types of breath work, and these can have a calming and positive affect with no type of follow-on belief system encouraged.In addition there is also a growing movement of what is known as Christian meditation. This can take different forms, the most common being that of using a mantra such as the word Maranatha, a type of meditation that has become popular in the last 30 – 40 years.The origins of Christian meditation can be traced back many centuries, either literally to people using a mantra, or a wider sense of meditation including the use of visualisation.
