T'Mir in meditation on Earth

Meditation is a mental process used to cultivate calm and insight.

Meditation was a major element of Earth Eastern religions such as Buddhism and Hinduism.

Jack, a youth from Carbon Creek, Pennsylvania, preparing for college spent a lot of time at the library about places he liked to visit, including Tibet. While discussing meditation with T'Mir, Jack explained to her that his readings, he learned that the Buddhist monks of Tibet meditate every day. (ENT: "Carbon Creek")

Meditation is used by Vulcans to calm and keep their tempestuous emotions under control as part of Surak's doctrine of Logic. Certain forms of intense meditation can be used to supress the effects of Pon farr when a Vulcan male cannot return to its homeworld to take a mate. (VOY: "Blood Fever")
