MEDITATION
What is meditation?
Meditation is an ancient practice that has been used for thousands of years to foster spiritual awareness, emotional balance, and mental clarity. Originally developed as a way to deepen understanding of life’s sacred and mystical aspects, meditation is now widely embraced as a powerful tool for relaxation, stress reduction, and overall well-being.
Today, meditation is recognized as a form of mind-body complementary therapy that can help you achieve a calm, focused, and peaceful state of mind. By directing your attention inward—whether through breath, mantra, visualization, or mindfulness—you can begin to quiet mental chatter and release the tension that accumulates in daily life.
How meditation works
During meditation, you intentionally focus your awareness—often on the breath, a word or phrase (mantra), or simply the present moment. This focused attention helps clear the mind of distractions, reduce negative thought patterns, and promote a state of inner stillness. Over time, regular practice can lead to profound improvements in both mental and physical health.

* Reduced stress and anxiety
* Improved emotional well-being
