Please don’t answer if you don’t know the answer. I know this is a hard question to answer. I’d rather have no answers than people just making harsh remarks or comments.

    relaxation - u let ur mind free without anything for a while
    visualization - u se a concept or model in ur idea. the clearer u see the better u can fabricate it.
    meditation - u let ur mind control u, not ur feelings. Good meditation will help u to relax easily and visual easily

    Relaxation can come from systematic breathing, bio-feedback, yoga, and meditation. Visualization can be a process of looking into your imagination with the help of a guide giving image suggestions. Visualization is a tool for helping cure physical or mental problems by seeing the problem as a visual thing, shape, color, form. If you can visualize the thing, your can put an intention on it to help resolve the issue. Meditation is a little more involved. There are many kinds of meditation. Prayer is a kind of meditation. Focused thoughts on a single idea is meditation. Concentrating on a single object can be meditation. Each one is used to block out the chaos in the brain, but each one used some effort to do that. Mantra meditation is the use of a sound that allows the mind to unfocus on thoughts and transcend the thinking mind. Welcome to eternity.

    It depends on what is going on in the mind.

    Visualization is one way of meditating.

    Relaxing in a chair and day dreaming is NOT meditating.

    If you focus your mind on one thing you’re meditating. If you allow your mind to wander you;re not meditating,
