Meditation is an approach to training the mind, similar to the way that fitness is an approach to training the body.
Meditation is a tool, It can help combat stress, fosters physical health,
helps with chronic pain, can make you sleep better, feel happier, be more peaceful, as well as be more present.
But on a deeper level, meditation is a doorway into the unknown. It can help us get a sense of the mystery of who we are. When you start meditating, you’ll notice how unruly the mind is.
