Meditation Basics - Exploring the Differences Between Meditation and Concentration

Hey, I'm Christian Weilharter, a Friend of the Way. I've spent over 5,000 hours staring at the floor while sitting in Zen meditation. Now, I use what I've learned to help others find the special in the ordinary. I make ancient meditation practices easy so you can see how enlightenment is part of our everyday lives.

In this video, I explore the true nature of meditation and how it differs from concentration techniques often mistaken for meditation, such as counting breaths or reciting mantras. While concentration involves narrowing our focus to a single point, meditation is about expanding our awareness and embracing a state of open, relaxed alertness. I’ll discuss the differences of both practices, how they complement each other, and ways to enhance your spiritual journey through proper understanding and application of each technique.
