Why Meditation?

You don't need to be a meditation expert to experience its benefits. Simply sit or lie down comfortably, close your eyes, and look inward. You can use a guided meditation or a calming scene from the videos below.

To begin:

1. Find a comfortable space where you can sit or lie down and allow your body to relax.

2. Close your eyes and listen to the meditation, or watch the video with audio to engage yourself. Use the breathing graphic to guide your breaths.

3. Stay still and relaxed, focusing on how your body feels.

4. Concentrate on gratitude. Feel its warmth in your body and heart. Be grateful for anything—a warm cup of coffee, a favorite smell, your family, or even some space for yourself.

5. Breathe deeply and slowly, feeling your chest rise and fall. If concentration is difficult, place a light object on your chest and focus on its movement.

6. Stay present. Notice the sensations in your feet, the cozy blanket beneath you, the feeling of each hair on your head, the warmth of the sun, or the sound of birds outside.

There's no set time for meditation. It takes practice to stay mindful. If your mind starts to wander, gently bring it back to the present.

The dishes, laundry, and work can wait. Investing in your brain and keeping it healthy is the best investment for your future.

Happy Meditating!
