is renowned for being easy and effortless as it doesn't require any concentration, contemplation, focusing or imagining. Other forms of meditation often require the practitioner to either concentrate, focus, contemplate, or imagine something.

During the meditation, your mind and body settle down into their least excited state. This phenomenon triggers a deep and profound state of restfulness. To an outside observer, you will appear to be simply resting.
