Isn meditation primarily a spiritual practice?
While some form of meditation is taught as part of almost every major world religion or spiritual tradition, the practices themselves can be taught and practiced outside of these traditions. These days meditation is taught in many secular settings, including hospitals, universities, corporations and sports gyms. Professional sports organizations frequently offer meditation to their athletes, and many physical therapy clinics offer it to their patients. Sometimes called ‘relaxation exercises’ or ‘concentration development’ instead of meditation, they are nevertheless based on traditional meditation techniques.
