A Mystic's Point of View on Meditation

Mada Eliza Dalian provides a mystic's point of view on meditation. Can we find our inner truth without meditation? What is the difference between meditation and visualization? What is the difference between active and passive meditations and what is the common thread that connects them? We all know that regular exercise is essential for our physical health but we often don't realize that meditation is essential for our mental, emotional, and spiritual health. Meditation gives us an opportunity to disidentify from our mind chatter and experience inner peace, deeper understanding of ourselves, self-confidence, and improved health.
