In ancient times, people were well aware that dwelling on negative thoughts was never going to allow them to find peace in their lives. So what they figured out was that if they cleared their mind of negative thoughts by focusing solely on one positive thought, it ended up reducing their anxiety levels and creating more feelings of relaxation and happiness. Over the many centuries, this ancient art of meditation was expanded upon with new techniques and various approaches to the meditation. People discovered guided meditations, such as mantra and candle staring, to help them achieve these results faster. Then other religions from various regions of the world developed their own meditation techniques as well. Now we live in a world where meditation is practiced in many different forms all around the world.
