Some Buddhist sects consider this ongoing practice to carry more weight than to attain Nirvana or enlightenment. It is believed that it can take up to 7 years to reach Nirvana.

While not associated with religion, groups often rent space in churches, temples and synagogues for meetings and services. These groups often meet once or twice a week to share in a circle of quiet reflection. In some cases, a leader serves as a guide and provides imagery through pre-recorded material. This material often includes visualizations, music and sound effects.

These books follow some of the most important practices as directed by the Buddha. The Four Sathipattana Meditations guide the mind to help understand the realities behind the connection of body, mind and spirit. It is believed actively perusing this path can also increase wisdom and vitality.

When it comes to basic forms, "focused meditation, " individuals focus 100% of energy on a problem or situation until finding a resolution. "Letting go, " is used to clear the mind of built up, clutter and stress. A good way of "letting go, " is to count down from 100 backwards while thinking of nothing and no one.

Practitioners and workshop leaders alike need to understand the basic structure of the body. It is also important to understand natural responses and how each work. This understanding provides the focus and strength needed to maintain a regular regimen of practice.

The practice is far more than part of a religion or Spiritual practice, it is in fact also a healing agent. It has been proven that when individuals are balanced, the individual is more successful in all areas of life. Just remember, "letting go, " helps keep and maintain this balance by keeping the mind clear. "Focus" keeps the mind strong by allowing the individual to think more clearly.
