If stress has you anxious, tense and worried, consider trying meditation. Spending even a few minutes in meditation can restore your calm and inner peace. Anyone can practice meditation. It’s simple, effortless, natural, and it doesn’t require any special equipment. You can practice meditation wherever you are. Meditation is considered a type of mind-body complementary medicine. It produces a deep state of relaxation and a tranquil mind. During meditation, we go beyond the sphere of thoughts and experience pure consciousness, our own reservoir of inner piece, creativity and energy, enlivening our whole physiology. It can give you a sense of calm, peace and balance that benefits both your emotional well-being and your overall health. These benefits don’t end when your meditation session ends. Meditation can help carry you more calmly through your day and may even improve certain medical conditions.
