It’s tough to be still and quiet in a world where motion and sound are everywhere. Challenge yourself to do it for 15 minutes. Think of it as an experiment. How did it go?

What is meditation?

Meditation is a way of training your mind to focus and be calm. It’s like exercise for your brain. When you meditate, you sit quietly and try to clear your mind of all thoughts. You might focus on your breath, or on a word or phrase, or on a sensation in your body. Meditation can help you feel more peaceful and relaxed.

What are the benefits of meditation?

Meditation can have lots of benefits! It can help you feel less stressed and anxious, and more calm and focused. It can also help you sleep better, improve your memory and concentration, and boost your immune system. Some people even say that meditation can help them feel more connected to the world around them.

How do I meditate?

• Find a quiet place where you won’t be disturbed. You can sit on the floor, on a cushion, or in a chair.
• Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths. Focus on the sensation of your breath moving in and out of your body.
• If you notice your mind starting to wander, gently bring your focus back to your breath.
• You can meditate for as long as you like, but it’s a good idea to start with just a few minutes and work your way up.

Remember, meditation is a practice, so don’t worry if it feels hard at first. Just keep trying and see if you can notice any changes in how you feel over time!
