Some people might meditate to achieve a quieter mind
or to use their consciousness as a tool to achieve a goal.
Some use it to restore harmony to the body,
to know the different spiritual dimensions of their own being,
to know God, to experience God Consciousness,
to achieve illumination,
to know and experience transcendental love or realization,
or to understand the nature of physical reality.
Some use it to achieve mastery of their consciousness
by being able to maintain attention on a single thing,
whether it's a word, an idea , a symbol or or breath - or nothing at all.
Of course, there are more reasons than this....
