The tradition of meditation dates back to the beginning of human history. It is both an ancient spiritual practice and a contemporary mind-body technique for relaxing the body and calming the mind.

Most meditative techniques have come to the West from Asian religious practices, particularly India, China, and Japan, but similar techniques can be found in many cultures around the world.

The first articles on the health benefits of meditation appeared in the Journal of Transpersonal Psychology in 1970. Meditation is the first mind-body intervention to be widely adopted in mainstream health care.
