Explanation:

Meditation is a concentration technique that allows an individual to focus all their attention on a sensation or feeling, or even an object, to be able to see it clearly, understanding it and preventing their mind, psyche and fullness be consumed by it. In other words, we can say that meditation is done by an individual who seeks to achieve mental clarity and for that reason, meditation does not allow the alteration of consciousness, nor the disconnection from the outside world, such as hypnosis.

As a physiological state, meditation shows qualities of sleep and wakefulness, but it is distinct from both, since it works with concentration and with an attentive and open awareness to learning.
