Strong's Bible Dictionary gives the usage of "hagah", the Hebrew word for mediate used above, as follows:
>The Hebrew verb "hagah" primarily means to meditate or to ponder deeply. It conveys the idea of a thoughtful, reflective consideration, often accompanied by a low sound or murmur, as one might do when speaking softly to oneself. In the context of the Hebrew Bible, "hagah" is frequently used to describe the act of meditating on God's law, His works, or His words, suggesting a deep, internalized engagement with divine truths.[^2]
Meditation is also described in the book *Psycho-Cybernetics*[^3]. This book highlights the importance of using one's mind to become better and to develop good qualities. Maltz, the author, says to use mental images of who you want to become or when executing a process, keeping the end-goal in mind.
