Meditation a therapy between tradition and innovation

Dr Jean Sixou

Meditation practice is an asian traditional technique and its origins are lost in the midst of time. The oldest written documents are from the legendary Patanjali who lived in 500 BC in India or from Mawangdhui archeological site (200 BC) in China. The oldest origins of oral tradition can be found around 2000 BC in the indian culture. Probably in the Indus dravidian civilisation or in the legendary Kumari Kanda kingdom of the Tamil Nadu culture or in the great classic of Indian literature, the Mahabaratha.
