How does it change the and give the person control on thought process? How does it change the brain activity. Well different people have different views.

Whether we are sleeping, resting or highly active there is some form of electrical waves travelling inside brain. So through these studies with monitoring with the use of advance technology, around 50 people were monitored while they meditated for 20 minutes.The abundance and location of slow to fast electrical brain waves (delta, theta, alpha, beta) provide a good indication of brain activity.
HOW DOES MEDITATION WORK?
When a person sits and closed his eyes, the only thing he can see is the imagination of incidents or a blank black colour. When a person either imagining or creating incidents, he or she is continuously producing waves that are connected through dots like any incidents and things that he has experienced in life. So what the majority of people imagine something that they want to do or something bad that has already happened with them and this creates more fear and disturbance, but at the same time when a proprietress on blank or dot on his forehead, he has started having a much control on his thought process and imagination.

2. Next point to remember is while cross folding your legs keep you both hands on your knees with thumb and 1 finger of your hand making circle touching with each other while the other three fingers opened and Make sure your hands are straight and palm facing upwards towards the sky.
3. Keep your backbone straight so the energy in your body flow.
4. Try to practice this in the early morning when the quality of air is much pure compared to any time of day and also the sound of the outer world are much less so it is quite easy for you to focus.

Much popular nowadays in the western world but equally followed in eastern. In this form of meditation either a person is guided by his mentor or by himself or through audio which is nowadays more popular form.
1. There are no particular names of this form of meditation it is up to you. In guiding meditation or affirmative meditation the person sits, in the same way, he did it in point focus meditation but this time while focusing on the forehead he continuously gives the message to his conscious mind to the area he wants to improve or develop so the conscious mind starts implementing the positive thoughts into his subconscious mind,
2. If you want to send love and kindness to everyone you will have to continually give affirmation “I love each and everyone around me” With this you will start to engage your subconscious mind and change the old pattern so you can develop a feeling of gratitude. Just like when we were told to do prayers to thank god and develop the feeling of gratitude the same way in this meditation we feed our subconscious mind.
3. In India, one of the most popular and highly effective mediation organisations is raj yoga meditation which is also known by brahma kumari meditation. It has its sub-center to almost every city in the country and head centers in 110 different countries.
