瞑想
含义: Meditation — the practice of quiet contemplation and mental focus, revived by the modern wellness movement.
瞑想 is the traditional Japanese word for meditation, rooted in Buddhist practice. While it has existed for centuries, it experienced a revival as the global mindfulness boom reached Japan. Unlike the more corporate マインドフルネス, 瞑想 carries a slightly more spiritual or traditional connotation. It is now popular among a wide range of people — from business professionals seeking stress relief to yoga practitioners to people using meditation apps. The word bridges Japan's ancient contemplative traditions with modern wellness culture.
