Meditation

Meditation

Meditation is a practice in which an individual uses a technique or combination of techniques to train attention and awareness and detach from "discursive, ruminating thought", achieving a mentally clear and emotionally calm and stable state, while not intending to analyze the effects, to judge its outcomes, or to create any expectation with regard to the process.

Meditation (Maryon)

Meditation is a 1910 sculpture by the English artist Edith Maryon. The work exists in at least three versions: bronze, plaster, and gilt plaster. It is 8 centimetres tall and depicts a naked infant clutching its foot with one hand, while sucking the thumb of its other hand.
