Meditation is a commonly used technique in the Dragon Ball series, allowing its users to enter a state of calm concentration to better channel, increase their awareness, and build up their ki to perform various feats.

Trivia

• This technique is similar to real-life meditation techniques found in Eastern spiritualism and religions. Users of the technique often take the form of a floating lotus position, a cross-legged sitting Yoga meditation pose from ancient India and widely used for meditation in Hindu, Tantra, Jain, and Buddhist traditions, furthering the connection.
