About meditation
The concept of meditation does not have a single generally accepted interpretation right now. Moreover, it could never have had one. Simply because it has always been actively used (and is still used) in various religious and mystical movements. And the organizers and adherents of such movements, in order to retain existing and attract new members, actively promote the idea of their own uniqueness in general and the "only correctness" of their meditation methods.
This situation remains largely unchanged to this day, but now the concept of meditation has moved from the category of "something mystical" and is perceived by most modern people as one of the techniques of self-development and spiritual growth. In particular, this is expressed in such modern concepts as "meditation techniques" and "meditation practices", which include not only yoga and Buddhist practices, but also many modern techniques.
If we consider the mental mechanisms of meditation, it turns out that autotraining and meditation have much more in common than differences. Moreover, given the many different options for both, it often turns out that a particular practice can be called both autotraining and meditation with equal success. Which, however, may seem surprising only at first glance, because even Schultz originally created autogenic training based on Oriental practices in general and meditation in particular.
First, let's talk about the differences.
It is generally believed that concentration is at the heart of any meditation, and relaxation is at the heart of autotraining. But this is a very superficial view. If you look more closely, then the basis of any of these practices is the transfer of a person's attention/ awareness from different parts of himself and the world around him into a single whole. As a rule, at the beginning this attention "gathers", and then goes to achieve some goal. At the same time, relaxation and concentration are present simultaneously at any stage. Adherents of meditation often talk about "mental calmness" and "concentration on emptiness / on one thing."&"adherents of auto–training - about deep muscle relaxation&"and "focus on the goal formula."
If you ignore the words and just consider the processes themselves, they often turn out to be simply identical.
During relaxation during auto-training, a person "ignores his body". That is, in fact, "concentrates alternately&"on every part of your body." After that, the attention gathers from the whole body into a single whole, which allows you to consciously feel each part of your body, and focus on the goal formula, depending on what exactly you want.
During concentration during meditation, a person either relaxes directly (including through preliminary sequential muscle tension in some yogis), or uses constant cyclic tension / relaxation – meditation through dance, for example. At the same time, working with attention is, from a practical point of view, the same as with autotraining – "we gather all our attention into a single whole and use it to achieve a goal."
