Meditation at its simplest form is being mindful. Focusing on the mind or breath only allowing that one thought or action to come through in your head. It is very difficult to silence your mind from other thoughts coming in about work or life meditation is practice of doing just that. People that have mastered this skill can separate there feelings and body from themselves mentally and can sit for days without breaking concentration not allowing pain or hunger to distract them it’s really quite useful in real life applications of controlling feelings and emotion as well.
