Meditation is shifting your awareness from what you are doing each day to simply being with yourself. It is pressing pause on the constant motion and chatter so that you can tap into your personal potential. You see, each of us comes into this life with talents and interests, and meditation can help you discover and enhance your personal gifts, which are your contributions to this time and space on Earth.
There are different forms of meditation practices, with a few described below, but the common theme with meditation is centering your awareness (sometimes using breathwork, music, or mantras) and allowing any thoughts or feelings to simply flow through without judgment or attention. Some practices use consciousness-changing techniques that have been proven to have many benefits on psychological and physical well-being.
