Meditation is a natural state of the human mind—at rest, open, alert, allowing us to familiarize ourselves with our mind.  The basic meditation technique predates all religious traditions, though it is used in one way or another by each of them. Undertaken as a steady practice, meditation allows the mind to relax and settle. It encourages our inherent qualities of stability, clarity and mental strength to emerge.
