In Thailand meditation is a natural part of everyday life; there is no mysticism attached to it… No wonder that many people who are interested in meditation travel to Thailand.
Meditation is a major component of Buddhist philosophy and in Thailand meditation has been carried out as part of religious practice on a daily basis for hundreds of years. These days though, scientists recognise the benefits of meditation as a vehicle for countering stress and worry, and as a result many people practice meditation divorced from its spiritual content. Whatever your reason for meditating, there is no better place than Thailand to take the ‘inner journey’. Thailand has a range of mediation centres around the country. Many are related to mainstream Buddhist temples and sects, while others are privately owned and may focus more on issues of well-being than the spiritual. Classes are available in English and cater for a range of experience levels from Beginner to Advanced.
