It is often asked and talked about that worship and meditation have many similarities, but are they same? Let’s take a practical look at both meditation and worship. We’ll also discuss the physical effect of both worshipping and meditation, which have many variations. Depending on your preferences, devotion and faith, you can customize your way of meditation.
Worship-Communicating with the Almighty
When you worship, you try to communicate with God by following rituals and methods depending on your religion and faith. The purpose or the objective of worship is the same, to connect to or communicate with the almighty. More often than not, worship is about praying to God to ensure that your life remains full of happiness, abundance, health, wealth and well-being of your near and dear ones. It a kind of one way communication to convey your wishes to the God and asking Him to fulfil them. Well, there can be some exceptions, but in most cases this is the purpose of worship.
Meditation- Focusing on Your Inner Self
When you meditate, there is no deity, object or anything external to focus on. You essentially communicate to yourself and try to focus on your deep inner thoughts as they come and go. This helps in raising your consciousness, and makes you good at focusing better on anything that you do in your daily life. By meditation, you can reach your higher sense of awakening and your outlook towards the world changes a lot in a positive way. The effect is noticeable in whatever you do. Whether you are trying to achieve professional goals, academic excellence or materialistic gains, mediation helps you clear your thoughts. This results in better focus, right decisions and actions.

Physical Postures in Both Worship and Meditation
Though not necessary, mediation is often recommended in sitting postures by many practitioners. The same is true for worship as well, especially in eastern cultures. In fact, Indian way of worship is to do so while sitting on the ground. Sitting cross-legged or in lotus posture is the most common way of worshiping across India. There is a reason behind it. As mentioned in my previous post that sitting cross-legged helps you clear negative thoughts, it also helps in focusing better. Whether you are focusing on God or yourself, sitting cross-legged is highly effective.
