WHAT IS MEDITATION?

Meditation is an umbrella term for a range of practices designed to cultivate a calm, concentrated, and absorbed state of mind. “Meditation’ can describe both a practice and a state, and derives from the Latin word meditari which means ‘to reflect upon’.

The broad variety of meditation practices derives from their different aims, which can be therapeutic, developmental or spiritual and the different objects on which one can meditate. These include: breath awareness, visualisation (creative imagination and visual objects), mantra (including music and natural sounds), physical sensations and inner feelings, movement (including yoga, tai chi and dance), contemplation (including prayer, affirmation, quiescent introspection and reflection), stillness, mindfulness (sati), insight meditation (vipassana), and choiceless awareness (open monitoring).

Membership Information

View Association Aims & Objectives

You are warmly invited to join us for the 2023 Annual General Meeting of the Meditation Association of Australia.
We appreciate your patience with having to reschedule this meeting.
As an incorporated Association, Meditation Australia is legally required to have a reportable AGM every year to maintain registration.
As the membership grows, so too does our requirement for a sufficient quorum at the meeting to meet our obligations with Consumer Affairs Victoria. This means we need as many of our members as possible to come along to the meeting. The meeting will not take more than an hour of your time, is online, and it is an easy way to support your association.
We would love to see you there.
