Meditation is a practice in which an individual focuses the mind on a particular object, thought, or saying to promote and increase awareness and perspective. The goal in practice is to achieve a sense of calmness, clarity, and emotional stability.
Meditation is practiced not to change who you are at your core; instead, it promotes a better understanding and acceptance of the person you are. It teaches you to accept your thoughts and feelings without judgment.
Finding a nice quiet place for your practice is key in getting started. Sit in a comfortable position, with your feet on the floor or cross-legged, take a deep, slow breath in and relax your body.
