Meditation Meaning Download the Selfpause Affirmation App Meditation can mean several things to different people, so it is important to know what it really means to you. For example, it can mean to concentrate your mind on a certain object and not react to experiences. Or, it can mean to pray to an ‘object’ in the universe, such as an angel or a deceased loved one. The purpose of prayer is to make contact with the holy spirit, or with a higher power. It can also mean to upload your thoughts and desires to the universe. Regardless of the type of meditation, the universe is constantly organizing itself for success.
