5 Minute Meditation

What Is Meditation?

Meditation is a practice where an individual focuses their attention and awareness to reach a mentally clear and emotionally calm state. Although shared by many religions, meditation itself is not inherently a religious or even spiritual activity, with many applications for it being found in non-spiritual contexts.

Meditation can significantly reduce stress, anxiety, depression, and pain, It can also enhance peace, calmness, and well-being.

Research is ongoing to better understand the effects of meditation on health (psychological, neurological, and cardiovascular) and other areas of life.
