What is meditation?

Meditation is a practice where you train your mind to focus and become more aware of the present moment. It's like exercise for your brain. Just like you exercise your body to stay fit and healthy, meditation helps you exercise your mind to become calm and peaceful.

During meditation, you sit or lie down in a quiet place and close your eyes. The idea is to let go of distracting thoughts and bring your attention to the present moment.

By practicing meditation regularly, you can improve your ability to concentrate, reduce stress and increase your overall well-being. It's a way to give your mind a break from all the busyness and noise of everyday life and find a sense of inner peace.

Meditation requires no prior experience, all skill levels are welcome.
