Meditation is a practice of focused attention and awareness that helps cultivate mental clarity, emotional balance, and inner peace.

It involves training the mind to stay present, often by concentrating on the breath, a mantra, sensations, or simply observing thoughts without attachment.

Key Aspects of Meditation:

• Mindfulness: Being fully present in the moment.
• Focused attention: Directing awareness to an object, sound, or sensation.
• Deep relaxation: Reducing stress and promoting inner calm.
• Self-awareness: Observing thoughts and emotions without judgment.

Common Types of Meditation:

1. Mindfulness Meditation (Vipassana) – Observing thoughts and sensations non-judgmentally.
2. Loving-Kindness (Metta) – Cultivating compassion towards oneself and others.
3. Transcendental Meditation – Repeating a mantra to reach deep relaxation.
4. Guided Meditation – Using visualization or spoken instructions.
5. Body Scan Meditation – Bringing awareness to different parts of the body.

Regular meditation practice can improve focus, reduce anxiety, enhance emotional well-being, and promote overall health.
