Defining Meditation

Until recently, the common perception of meditation in the western world was that meditation was a form of worship or prayer. However, this is far from the truth. There are many forms and methods of meditation. Some of these include a spiritual aspect, but certainly not all of them. At its core, meditation is nothing more than awareness. When you perform a task with full attention and awareness, you are meditating. This could be done with a thought, your breath, while walking or running, during yoga, or any other activity. The key is that you are participating with full awareness.
