Eastern religions teach eastern meditation and visualization which is that people should clear their mind and in effect invite in a spirit guide. This is a very dangerous practice because these "guides" are demons in disguise. They end up blowing open a door to evil entering thier lives in many ways.

the mind then frees itself from the action of staying focus and then reaches a state of .... (it has no name.)
It helps control your focus, which is a very difficult thing to do sometimes. Once you take your mind off of earthly things and clear it, nonearthy thoughts and feelings have more room.
