ello, my name is Ahlan, and I'm from Bahrain, and my question is, is meditation common in your culture?
Well, yes. Meditation or if we can say prayer is very common in the culture of my country, which is Bahrain, because religiously, it's something that should be done during the day, in the morning, in the afternoon, and at night. So the people are…are used to this, and they do it even unconsciously, even if they are not aware of the benefits of it, it's done. Of course, some people are very aware of it, and they believe in the power of prayer and meditation, and they do it for their own benefit and to get to close to their creator or God.
