Meditation

Meditation helps us pause and step away from our busy lives. By focusing on our breath and what we feel inside, it allows us to quiet our minds. When we start meditating, we might notice a lot of thoughts. It's okay. We simply watch these thoughts without judgment. With practice, we can find stillness in our bodies and minds, leading to more peace and awareness in our daily life. This way, we handle situations better and bring peace not just to ourselves but also to those around us.

 

Meditation can be sitting still or gently moving, focusing on sounds, pictures, breath, or even a candle's flame. Most people meditate sitting down with their eyes closed, keeping their back straight.

​

Meditation is not just a spiritual practice. Research shows it has many health benefits, making it great for our minds and bodies. It can:

​

• Slow down our breathing and heart rate

• Help us relax more deeply

• Lower high blood pressure

• Make our hearts healthier

• Reduce anxiety and help us feel calmer

• Boost our immune system, fighting off germs and sickness

• Make us feel more confident

• Increase happiness by boosting serotonin, which helps with depression, weight issues, sleep problems, and headaches

• Ease symptoms of premenstrual syndrome, allergies, and arthritis

 

Meditating regularly can change how we live and interact, filling our lives with calm and joy.
