The physical act of meditating by closing one's eyes and slowing down the speed of internal thoughts - especially worrisome thinking - results in a physiological response that is well documented in the scientific literature.

The end goal of meditation is to do whatever helps slow your mind down, in order to achieve a peaceful, positive state of mind and body.

In meditation, it is difficult, if not impossible, for most people to become devoid of all mental thoughts, so what we want to do is fill the mind with those thoughts that induce positive feelings of peace, relaxation or happiness.

Simple techniques for meditation can involve repetition of spiritually focused words, thoughts or ideas that help one feel at peace mentally and physically.

No matter what meditation technique you use, just let the mind slow down and begin to explore its internal surroundings.

Meditation has become an ingrained part of my everyday life that helps me feel so much more centered, patient and compassionate. It even gives me great physical energy.

I recommended meditation to every person as a foundation for living healthier, being a more loving person, and leading a less stressful life!
