Do you focus on someone/God while meditating? Here's why it's not
Meditation is about developing non-judgmental awareness, not fixation. While chanting may involve focusing on a deity, meditation emphasises observing thoughts without attachment. Redirecting attention inward, particularly focusing on breath, fosters calmness and presence.
