Multiple Approaches of Meditation:There are multiple approaches in the practice of meditation. If one were to ask, "What is the goal of meditation?" The most straightforward answer will be self-realization or improving spiritual health.
As you can see there is physical health, which is very different from spiritual health. Our goal of meditation is spiritual health i.e. our soul should be healthy and free from any ailments. Spiritual health is a vast goal. We need to understand it from various perspectives. It is important to differentiate between the various ailments of the soul and look fora treatment that is best suited for each ailment.
Take the practice of aasanas for example. One purpose of aasanas is to aid in the practice of meditation and another purpose is to improve physical health. Thus, aasana is both therapy and a meditative practice. People who cure diseases through the practice of Yoga and aasanas have described each aasanas and its benefits separately. They will prescribe a specific course of aasanas for someone who has diabetes, and a different course for a person suffering from high blood pressure. For each disease, a separate course of aasanas has been defined. In the same way there is a need to describe — various practices of meditation for different purposes.
