Greetings, The Pali word bhàvana is translated as 'meditation' and means ‘to develop,’ ‘to cultivate,’ or ‘to expand,’ and represents different practices for psychological transformation, one being to develop peace-of-mind. Consider it techniques to explore the philosophy of mind. It is not about retreating to a mountain top for months or years. If one has a busy schedule, one can start a meditation practice with as little as 10 to 30-minutes, once or twice a day. I was taught that making it a consistent habit was more important than the length of time. It is really something when one begins to clearly see thoughts flicker across that screen, and better yet to see the blank space between the thoughts.
