WHAT IS MEDITATION?

Meditation is a practice that involves stillness, breathing and learning to be in the present moment.

WHY MEDITATE?

Meditation is like multivitamins for the brain. It improves learning and self-awareness and an overall sense of happiness.

HOW TO MEDITATE:

Sit cross-legged in a quiet area, close your eyes gently and focus on your breathing. Let it be natural and feel it in whatever way you want , chest , throat or mouth.

WHEN TO MEDITATE:

There are different times of day you can meditate. You could try it in the morning as it can prepare you for a day. If you don't want to meditate in the morning, you can do it at midday as it can help you during work in the middle of the day.
