The history and origins of meditation
Meditation originated from Asian religious practices, in India, China and Japan. There is no specific date recorded, but it is rooted back to ancient times with techniques dating from over 5000 years ago, even dated back in the Bible with Moses. Its purpose was for religious believes and the health factors that come with it.
Buddha was the first to make an icon in meditation, around 500 B.C. Then the Eastern-styles of meditation expanded; Buddhist, Hinduism even Christianity. They still practice strongly to this day. It didn’t become popular in the West till the 1960’s and 1970’s. That’s when it vastly expanded into many different forms as we know of them today.
