Meditation

Meditation is a practice in which an individual uses a technique – such as mindfulness, or focusing the mind on a particular object, thought, or activity – to train attention and awareness, and achieve a mentally clear, emotionally calm, and stable state. Meditation is practiced in numerous religious traditions. Anyone can practice meditation. It’s simple and inexpensive. And it doesn’t require any special equipment. Meditation, which is the practice of focused concentration, bringing yourself back to the moment over and over again, actually addresses stress, whether positive or negative.” Meditation can also reduce areas of anxiety, chronic pain, depression, heart disease, and high blood pressure.
