Meditation is the ancient practice of calming the mind, creating awareness, and finding inner peace. Meditation offers a mind-body connection and has many physical and mental benefits. It is a great way to relax, calm the mind and body, bring about awareness, and bring your life back into balance. Many people think meditation is hard, that it takes a lot of time, and that for some people it simply can’t be done. Not true! The trick is to start small, start easy, and gradually progress. Start with just 5 minutes a day. Find yourself a quiet space, lye down, listen to some relaxing music and try not to focus on any one thing, just be. If you have trouble focusing your thoughts, try focusing on your breath; be aware of each breath in and out. It will become easier with time.
