What is Meditation?

Meditation is a practice that involves training the mind to focus and achieve a state of calmness, clarity or creativity and overall mental well being. It can be done in various ways, but it typically involves sitting or lying down in a quiet place or concentrating on a particular object, such as posture, the breath, a sound, or a mantra.

The aim of meditation is to quiet the mind and reduce the influence of distracting thoughts and emotions, which can lead to increased feelings of peace, relaxation, and mental clarity. Meditation has been practiced for thousands of years in various cultures and traditions and has been shown to have numerous health benefits, including reduced stress, anxiety, and depression, and increased well-being and mindfulness.
